Northwest Card Show – Liverpool Exhibition Centre – 22nd March 2025

Events

Card collectors, your time is now.

The Northwest Card Show is an annual event that should be a date in the diary for every self-respecting collector. Whether your thing is Football cards, NFL cards, Basketball cards, UFC, F1, Wrestling cards, or if you play trading card games such as Pokemon, Magic The Gathering, Naruto, Yu-Gi-Oh!, Dragonball Z etc., the Northwest Card Show is for you.

While cards are the main event, there is more to enjoy here. They have same day grading, middleman services, comics, funko pops, signed shirts and other memorabilia, and even tattoo artists working in the open which is fun to watch.

Here are the key ingredients of the day:

200 Vendor Tables: Discover your favourite collectibles from a diverse array of vendors
Bouncy Castle: A large assault course bouncy castle – fun for kids and adults alike
Delicious Food & Drink: Refuel and refresh with a variety of tasty options available on-site
Special Guests: Meet talented guest artists and voice actors throughout the day
On-Site Grading: Get your collectibles graded with Get Graded

If you are interested in the special guests this time around, it is Emily Bauer who voices Dawn, Cynthia, and Happiny among others in Pokémon, plus Zuzu Boyle and others in Yu-Gi-Oh Cross Dual; then there is Ted Lewis, who voices loads of Pokémon characters including Giovanni, Corey and Tracey Sketchitt, as well as countless characters in Yu-Gi-Oh!, Ninja Turtles, Red Dead Redemption – absolutely loads.

You can get your cards signed by these guys on the day for £30 cash or £37 on card.

Tickets and Prices

It’s nice and cheap to get access to the event, although there are a few extra options for people who are happy to spend more:

Standard adult entry – £13.20
Young Adults (16-21) – £8
Kids (Ages 7-15) £6
Free for Children (Ages 6 & Under)
Early entry – £16.50
VIP tickets – £30.00

So what do early access and VIP tickets get you?

Well, the event starts at 9.00am and ends at 5.00pm, but standard ticket holders can’t get in until 10:00am. So if you want early access to the stalls for all the best loot, you need an early entry or VIP ticket.

VIP ticket holders will also receive a goody bag. The contents have not been made clear, but at their last event they included a graded slab, soft sleaves and top loaders from TFF, plus, 1 bag in 50 contained a Pikachu Crown Zenith slab.

They are expecting over a thousand people so it will be a really busy event, full of people to meet and trade with.
