Collectors Palooza

Collectors Palooza returns to the Indiana State Fairgrounds on Saturday, October 17, for another edition of the monthly Pokémon TCG show. It's held in the Ag/Hort Building at 1202 E. 38th St. in Indianapolis.

If you've been around the local scene for a while, you might remember it as Pokepalooza—that was its old name. The organizers describe it as the monthly Pokémon trading card show fans have been waiting for, and it's still built around the same thing: a room full of dealer tables stacked with Pokémon trading cards, plushies, and other merchandise. It's a monthly fixture, so if you miss this one, there's usually another one coming around soon.

While Pokémon is the main draw, it's not the only thing on the tables. The show also brings in One Piece and Lorcana TCG alongside the Pokémon staples, so you can find cards from a few different games in one trip. Whether you're hunting for a specific card, looking to trade, or just want to see what's out there, it's a one-stop shop for a few different TCGs.

There are two ways to get in. Early Bird is from 9 AM to 11 AM and costs $13.39, while General Admission runs from 11 AM to 5 PM for $7.68. Kids 10 and under get in free, and parking is $10 per vehicle. If you're looking for the best selection, the Early Bird window is your best bet; otherwise, the General Admission hours give you plenty of time to browse.
