About Romania Card Show
Romania Card Show was born from a genuine passion for trading cards and sports memorabilia. The initiative comes from Aniri Cards, the first company in Romania dedicated to the card collecting hobby, together with influencer Pontacul.
- From the very beginning, our goal was to build more than just an event — we set out to create a community.
Our vision has been to bring an international concept to Romania: a space where collectors, dealers, specialty shops and sports enthusiasts can meet, connect and take this hobby to the next level. In the coming years, we aim for Romania Card Show to become the leading event of its kind in Eastern Europe.
Romania Card Show is the event that brings together, for the first time in Romania, the community of trading card and sports memorabilia collectors. It offers participants the opportunity to buy, sell and trade cards and collectibles in a dedicated and professional environment.
At the event, attendees can discover collectible cards featuring both international and Romanian football players, Pokémon TCG and other popular card games, rare cards including graded cards evaluated by industry experts, as well as autographs from athletes in football, Formula 1, tennis and other sports. In addition, a wide range of memorabilia is showcased, including signed or match-worn jerseys and captain armbands.
- Each edition of Romania Card Show features special guests, including football players, sports legends and notable personalities, giving attendees the chance to interact directly with their idols.
The first edition of Romania Card Show took place in December 2025 at the Football Museum and marked a defining moment for the community in Romania. The event attracted over 500 participants and confirmed the growing interest in premium cards and sports memorabilia.
Highlights included autograph sessions with football players, including Gabriel Torje, the presence of exhibitors and collectors from across the country, participation from influencers in the sports and collecting space, as well as the launch of a special card created in partnership with Gabriel Torje. The event also featured giveaways and interactive activities for attendees.
Romania Card Show gained national exposure, being featured during prime time on Pro TV’s sports news, further establishing its position as a key reference point for this niche in Romania.
This year’s edition marks an important step forward, with a venue approximately five times larger and an expanded experience for attendees, exhibitors and partners. This growth reflects the rapid development of the community and the increasing interest in this segment in Romania.
Romania Card Show is built with a long-term vision of continuous growth, aiming to become not only a leading national event, but a true regional hub for collectors across Eastern Europe.
Romania Card Show is more than just an event — it is the beginning of a growing community and an important step in positioning Romania as a key destination on the collectors’ map.
