SUMMARY:East Coast Collectibles Convention at Mohegan Sun 2026
DESCRIPTION:East Coast Collectibles Convention at Mohegan Sun 2026 brings hundreds of dealers and thousands of cards and collectibles to the Earth Expo & Convention Center on Saturday and Sunday\, September 5–6. \nBetter known as EC3CON\, the two-day Connecticut card show has grown into a major regional gathering for sports cards\, Pokémon\, trading card games\, memorabilia and pop-culture collectibles. More than 350 vendor tables are planned for the September convention\, with collectors invited to buy\, sell and trade throughout the weekend. \nThis isn’t limited to serious sports-card collectors hunting expensive vintage cards\, either. Pokémon\, Magic: The Gathering\, One Piece\, Yu-Gi-Oh!\, Disney Lorcana\, Funko Pops\, wrestling\, comics\, anime\, non-sports cards\, fan art and other collectibles are represented alongside traditional baseball\, football and other sports cards. \nMore Than 350 Tables of Cards and Collectibles\nEC3CON is produced by East Coast Collectibles\, the Connecticut collectibles company that also operates a card shop in Middletown. \nThe organization describes its Mohegan Sun conventions as quarterly events drawing vendors and collectors from throughout New England and the Northeast. The move into the larger Earth Expo Center has allowed the convention to expand its number of tables\, programming and special guests. \nFor collectors\, that means a show floor built around browsing. \nSome tables specialize in sports cards. Others concentrate on Pokémon and other trading card games. Visitors can search for individual cards needed to complete a collection\, unopened products\, memorabilia and collectibles while also bringing their own cards to trade. \nAnd you don’t need to arrive looking for a five-figure Mickey Mantle card. \nEC3CON specifically encourages younger and beginning collectors to explore inexpensive value boxes and dollar bins\, talk with dealers and learn how trading works. \nSpecial Guests Coming to EC3CON\nThe September show is also bringing several guests from professional wrestling\, sports and animation. \nKurt Angle is scheduled to appear. The WWE Hall of Famer won a freestyle wrestling gold medal for the United States at the 1996 Olympic Games before becoming one of professional wrestling’s most recognizable performers. \nFormer WWE performer Joseph Sawyer\, better known to wrestling audiences as Joe Gacy\, is also listed among the convention’s guests. Sawyer performed as a member of the Wyatt Sicks during his WWE career. \nFootball fans will have an appearance by Tyler Nubin\, the New York Giants safety who played college football at Minnesota before entering the NFL. \nThe guest list reaches into animation as well. \nGary Littman has provided voices for characters in One Piece\, Yu-Gi-Oh! ZEXAL\, Pokémon and other animated productions\, while David Wills has accumulated voice credits across Yu-Gi-Oh! GX\, Pokémon\, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles\, One Piece and other series. \nGuest appearances\, schedules and autograph opportunities can change\, so collectors interested in meeting a particular guest should check the convention’s current schedule before attending. EC3CON’s ticket policy specifically notes that guest appearances and autograph times are subject to change. \nBring Your Own Collection\nYou don’t have to come solely to shop. \nEC3CON encourages attendees to bring cards to trade\, making the convention useful for collectors who already have boxes or binders sitting at home. \nTrading with other attendees and interacting with vendors is permitted\, although the convention notes that rules governing direct sales may vary. \nFor someone new to collecting\, that’s also part of the appeal of a large card show. Instead of scrolling through listings online\, collectors can handle cards\, compare condition\, ask dealers questions and see dozens of different approaches to the hobby in one room. \nSaturday Night Trade Night\nWhen the convention floor closes Saturday at 6 p.m.\, the collecting doesn’t stop. \nEC3CON will hold a Trade Night from 6:30 to 10 p.m. Saturday\, September 5. \nThe evening is devoted to collectors meeting one another\, showing what they’ve brought and making trades outside the regular show-floor hours. \nBetter still\, Trade Night is free and open to the public. \nThat makes Saturday potentially a very long day for a serious collector: early-bird admission begins at 9 a.m.\, the regular convention runs until 6 p.m.\, and Trade Night continues until 10 p.m. \nGet Autographs Authenticated at the Show\nJames Spence Authentication\, better known as JSA\, is scheduled to provide on-site autograph authentication. \nCollectors can bring signed memorabilia to JSA for examination rather than mailing an item away and waiting for it to be returned. The event listing says authentication can be completed in a matter of hours. \nThat’s particularly useful at a convention where autographs and signed memorabilia are both being bought and sold. \nA Family-Friendly Introduction to Collecting\nEC3CON is explicitly designed as an all-ages event\, and children younger than 12 are admitted free when accompanied by an adult. \nThe organizers encourage children to bring cards of their own to trade and recommend starting younger collectors with inexpensive cards rather than immediately chasing high-value pieces. \nThat gives the convention an interesting second audience beyond veteran collectors. A parent who collected baseball cards years ago can walk into the same room with a child interested in Pokémon\, while someone else may be hunting wrestling autographs\, anime collectibles or modern football cards. \nThey’re different hobbies… until you put 350 tables under one roof. \nAbout EC3CON\nEast Coast Collectibles operates both the convention and the East Coast Collectibles Card Shop in Middletown. \nThe company describes EC3CON as a quarterly Mohegan Sun event serving collectors from Connecticut and throughout the Northeast. Organizers say the convention attracts thousands of attendees and vendors from around the country. \nAnd September isn’t the final show of 2026. \nAnother EC3CON is scheduled at Mohegan Sun for November 28–29\, followed by announced 2027 conventions in January and June. \nEvent Details\nEvent: East Coast Collectibles Convention — EC3CON \nDates: Saturday\, September 5 and Sunday\, September 6\, 2026 \nSaturday: 10 a.m.–6 p.m. \nSunday: 10 a.m.–4 p.m. \nEarly Bird Admission: Saturday at 9 a.m. Early Bird admission must be purchased in advance. \nSaturday Trade Night: 6:30–10 p.m.; free and open to the public. \nLocation: Earth Expo & Convention Center at Mohegan Sun \nAddress: 1 Mohegan Sun Boulevard\, Uncasville\, CT 06382 \nAdmission: Tickets start at $20 according to the current ticketing listing. Children under 12 are admitted free with an accompanying adult. \nParking: Parking at Mohegan Sun is free. The Winter Parking Garage or Winter Parking Lot provides the most convenient access to the Earth Expo & Convention Center. \nVisitors should allow additional time to enter because Mohegan Sun conducts security screenings before events on the property.

Visitors can meet legendary comic book creators\, television and film stars\, voice actors\, wrestlers\, and artists while exploring hundreds of vendor booths filled with comic books\, original artwork\, toys\, games\, statues\, trading cards\, cosplay accessories\, and rare collectibles. Artist Alley offers fans the opportunity to meet many of the industry’s most influential writers and illustrators\, making the convention just as exciting for lifelong comic readers as it is for casual movie fans. \nOne of the biggest draws each year is the celebrity lineup. The 2026 convention features appearances from stars including Priscilla Presley\, Patrick Warburton\, Lea Thompson\, Charisma Carpenter\, Ron Perlman\, Theo Rossi\, Emilio Rivera\, Frank Whaley\, Tyler Mane\, Diedrich Bader\, Sgt. Slaughter\, and cast members from Peacemaker\, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles\, Rick and Morty\, Phineas & Ferb\, Star Wars animation\, and many more. Fans can purchase autographs\, selfies\, professional photo opportunities\, and select combo packages directly from participating guests. \nComic book fans will also find one of the strongest creator lineups in the country. Legendary artists and writers including Jim Lee\, Chris Claremont\, Jeph Loeb\, Walter Simonson\, Dan Jurgens\, Jim Starlin\, Mike Grell\, Jerry Ordway\, Al Milgrom\, Mike DeCarlo\, and dozens of additional creators will be meeting fans\, signing books\, sketching artwork\, and participating in panels throughout the weekend. \nTerrifiCon is far more than an autograph show. Throughout the weekend visitors can attend panel discussions\, Q&A sessions\, gaming events\, Jedi training\, cosplay meetups\, professional photo ops\, artist demonstrations\, and family programming. Sunday features free children’s entertainment along with the convention’s annual Costume Parade and Cosplay Contest\, where fans compete for awards recognizing the best superheroes\, villains\, anime characters\, video game characters\, performances\, and audience favorite costumes. \nCosplay remains one of TerrifiCon’s signature attractions. Fans of every age are encouraged to attend dressed as their favorite comic book\, movie\, television\, anime\, or gaming characters. Costume props are welcome after passing the convention’s required security inspection\, although real weapons and metal blades are prohibited. Because of Mohegan Sun gaming regulations\, masks and full-face helmets may be worn throughout the convention areas but must be removed before entering the casino gaming floor. Detailed cosplay and prop policies are available through the convention organizers. \nThe convention is designed as a family-friendly event. Children under 10 receive free admission with a paid adult\, Sunday includes additional children’s programming\, and attendees have access to Mohegan Sun’s restaurants\, shopping\, arcades\, entertainment venues\, and hotel throughout the weekend. Free parking is available for all guests\, and many Mohegan Sun restaurants and retailers traditionally offer discounts to attendees who present their TerrifiCon badges.
