Sports Wax Promotions will bring Collectors Jam to Cabarrus Arena & Event Center in Concord, North Carolina, June 5–7, 2026, for a three-day event positioned as the largest collectibles show in the Carolinas. The show will feature more than 600 tables and a packed marketplace of sports cards, wrestling collectibles, Pokémon, trading card games, comics, memorabilia, vintage toys, retro video games, Funko Pops and other pop culture collectibles.Presented by Pristine Auction, Collectors Jam will also feature live auctions throughout the weekend, adding another high-energy element to one of the fastest-growing events in the hobby space. A major highlight of the weekend will be an appearance by NBA Hall of Famer Allen Iverson, expected to draw collectors, basketball fans and media attention from across the region and beyond.
“This is more than a card show — it’s a full-scale collector experience built for the hobby at every level,” said James Ferree, founder of Sports Wax Promotions. “From serious buyers and longtime collectors to families and first-time attendees, Collectors Jam brings together the energy, community and excitement that make this industry so special. We’re proud to keep building something in the Carolinas that is drawing attention from across the country.”
Sports Wax Promotions has emerged as one of the most visible collectibles event brands in the region since launching on September 4, 2021. What began as a gathering with 35 tables and 198 attendees has grown into a premier weekend-long showcase drawing thousands of collectors and enthusiasts from across the country.
The June Concord event is designed to be both a destination for dedicated hobbyists and an accessible, family-friendly weekend attraction. In addition to buying, selling and trading across the show floor, attendees can expect an active Trade Zone, buyers in the building purchasing bulk collections and singles, and giveaways throughout the weekend. The event will also feature appearances by Pikachu, Gengar and Eevee, expanding its appeal to younger fans and pop-culture audiences.
Collectors will also have access to key hobby services and brand experiences on-site. GemMint.com, a PSA-authorized dealer, will accept grading submissions during the event, while influencer participation and major industry partnerships continue to reinforce the show’s expanding national profile.
With VIP and general admission tickets available online, as well as tickets at the door, Collectors Jam is expected to bring together vendors and attendees traveling from across the country for one of the region’s biggest weekends in collectibles.
