The Real Advantage

The best cards leave in the first hour.

General admission opens at noon and a thousand collectors hit the floor at once. By then the fresh inventory has been worked over and the finds are already in someone else’s bag. Badge holders get those two hours to themselves.

First at every table

Walk the entire floor before the crowd arrives. Tables are freshly stocked, and nothing has been picked over yet.

Room to actually look

No three-deep crowds at the display cases. Time to inspect, compare and think before the floor fills up.

The vendor’s full attention

Talk, trade and negotiate while dealers still have time for a real conversation instead of a queue.

What You Get

Five things, one badge.

Five things, one badge.

01

Exclusive metal badge

A real metal badge made for the 2026 season only — and only 100 will exist. It is your ticket in, and it stays yours long after the season ends.

02

Cardfest lanyard

An official Cardfest lanyard, so your badge rides up front where our staff and every vendor can see it.

03

VIP entry at every show

Walk in at 10:00 AM at every remaining 2026 show - two full hours before general admission. Your badge is your ticket. There is nothing else to buy.

04

Double booster packs

Twice the packs at every single show - double the pulls, and double the chance at a golden raffle ticket.

05

First access to 2027

When the 2027 ELITE VIP pass opens, you get the first chance to buy before anyone else does.

Double Packs

Twice the packs. Every show.

The Math

It pays for itself by show four.

It pays for itself by show four.

VIP admission at the door is $19.99. Your badge adds a second booster pack at every show, worth about $4.49 on its own. That is more than $24 of value every time you walk in - and the metal badge, the lanyard and 2027 access sit on top of that.
