In this explosive episode, Will sits down with Steve Guinee, the mastermind behind the Auckland Card Show, to talk all things cardboard and collectibles ahead of the 2025 show. And this year? It’s gone from huge to nuclear.

Steve reveals how the show has more than doubled in size, literally- from relocating to the mammoth Auckland Showgrounds to expanding to a two-day event packed with endless vendor tables, an avalanche of cards to buy, sell, and trade, and the first of epic TCG tournaments for Flesh and Blood, Grand Archive and more. Whether you're a seasoned collector or just getting started, there’s something for everyone.

Expect exclusive show deals (yes, Pokémon cards at retail prices while stocks last!), ridiculous giveaways from the main stage, VIP goodie bags stacked with value, jaw-dropping exhibits, and surprises around every corner. Steve also shares key tips for guests, like why getting there early is crucial for snagging the best deals before they vanish.

If you're even remotely into trading cards, you won't want to miss this preview of one of New Zealand’s premium collector event of the year.

🎴 Two days. Thousands of cards. One unforgettable show. Don’t miss it.
