Hunt for Rare Finds at the Inaugural Frontwave Arena Collectibles Expo in Oceanside
If you’re a collector of pretty much anything – sports cards, Pokémon, TCG, memorabilia – this is a big one. Frontwave Arena is hosting the inaugural Frontwave Arena Collectibles Expo (FACE), bringing the Southern California collector community together for a full day of vendors, rare finds, autograph sessions, and a whole lot of trading. And it’s completely free.

160 Vendor Tables and Counting
The show floor packs in up to 160 vendor tables loaded with sports cards, Pokémon, TCG, memorabilia, and more – all sourced from vendors across California. Whether you’re hunting for something specific or just browsing to see what turns up, this is the kind of setup where you’re going to find something worth getting excited about.


VIP Autographs, Photo Booths, and More
Beyond the vendor floor, FACE brings in San Diego sports stars for VIP autograph sessions, sets up a custom trading card photo booth, runs raffles throughout the day, and keeps the energy going with full concessions and live entertainment. It’s a full day at the arena, not just a shopping trip.
Trade Night to Cap it Off
When the show floor wraps up, the evening shifts outside to Frontwave Arena’s San Diego Zoo Safari Park Plaza for a dedicated Trade Night from 6 PM to 8 PM. It’s a more laid-back setting to connect with fellow collectors, swap cards, and talk shop – a great way to end the day.
