After covering more than 300 card shows across Singapore, we thought we’d seen it all. But this one could top them all. Bringing together TCG players, sports card collectors, retailers, artists and enthusiasts, this could be the biggest card show we’ve ever come across.
On 31 October and 1 November 2026, CAPS EXPO returns to Singapore EXPO for a weekend dedicated to cards and collectibles. With 450 vendor tables across 12 categories, the event brings together local and international sellers, guest creators and interactive experiences.
From a dedicated sports card zone to a two-day Riftbound tournament, live artist signings and exclusive partner reveals, here are the highlights to look out for.
Explore 12 Categories of Cards and Collectibles
Whether you collect Pokémon cards, compete in TCG tournaments or enjoy discovering original artwork, CAPS EXPO 2026 has a broad range of collecting interests covered.
Featured categories include Pokémon, One Piece, Riftbound, Disney Lorcana, Magic: The Gathering, Yu-Gi-Oh!, Gundam, Weiss Schwarz, Union Arena, sports cards and memorabilia, art and collectibles, and more.
Browse for specific cards, explore vintage releases or discover a TCG you have not tried before.
Singapore’s First Dedicated Sports Card Zone at a Card Show
Sports card collectors will have a dedicated space to browse local and international vendors at CAPS EXPO 2026.
From cards featuring favourite athletes to rare inserts and sports memorabilia, the zone brings a variety of collecting interests together. It is also a chance to trade with fellow enthusiasts and explore the sports card hobby, whether you are an experienced collector or just starting out.
Hunt for Rare Finds from Around the World
Part of the fun of collecting is finding a card or item you have been searching for. CAPS EXPO 2026 brings local and international vendors together, giving collectors more chances to discover high-grade slabs, vintage sealed products and hard-to-find regional promotional cards.
Take the time to browse different vendors and compare prices before making a purchase. For higher-value items, check the condition carefully and verify authenticity where possible.
