East Coast Collectibles Convention

at the Earth Expo & Convention Center

East Coast Collectibles Convention brings together one of the most active communities in the hobby for a full weekend centered on trading cards, collectibles, and memorabilia. Organized by East Coast Collectibles, EC3 Con has built a reputation as one of Connecticut’s premier card shows, drawing collectors, vendors, and fans from across the region. With more than 330 vendor tables, the event creates a dense marketplace where everything from rare finds to everyday favorites is within reach.

Attendees can expect a wide range of collectibles, including sports cards spanning legends and current stars, Pokémon cards and other trading card games, as well as non-sports cards tied to pop culture, movies, and entertainment franchises. Sealed packs, graded cards, vintage collectibles, signed memorabilia, and hobby supplies are all part of the mix, making the convention appealing to both serious investors and casual collectors. The environment is fast-moving and interactive, with buying, selling, and trading happening constantly throughout the show floor.

A highlight of the weekend is the dedicated Trade Night on Saturday, offering a more relaxed, community-driven space where collectors can connect and negotiate deals. Events like EC3 Con reflect the continued growth of the collectibles market, where nostalgia, rarity, and community all intersect. Whether you’re hunting for a specific card, building a collection, or simply exploring the hobby, this convention delivers a comprehensive and engaging experience for collectors of all levels.
