This September, the Principality of Monaco - better known for its opulent casinos, luxury yachts, and the Grand Prix - will play host to a markedly different kind of high-stakes excitement: collectibles.
On Saturday, September 13, 2025, from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m., the Monaco Card Show, presented by VOGGT, will transform the coastal enclave into a temporary capital of cards, uniting collectors, dealers, and pop culture enthusiasts from across Europe and beyond. Set against the exceptional backdrop of Monaco, the event promises to be a defining moment in the evolving world of collectible trading cards.
This one-day showcase is not merely a commercial gathering—it is a celebration of a global culture that spans decades and generations. From sports memorabilia and trading card games (TCG) to international icons like Pokémon, Disney, and Marvel, the Monaco Card Show offers something for both the seasoned investor and the curious newcomer.
The event's organizer and headline sponsor, VOGGT, a leading platform in the live-auction collectibles space, brings credibility and scale to the show. With official partners including Card Hobby, Panini, PCA (Professional Cards Authenticator), Tactic Games, and The Collectibles Shop, the Monaco Card Show is poised to deliver a curated and high-quality experience for attendees.
While trading cards have long been a niche hobby, the past decade has seen an explosion in market interest and cultural relevance. Rare cards have fetched six-figure sums at international auctions; companies like Panini have become household names; and grading standards, such as those set by PCA, now carry market-defining influence.
But for all the headlines and high valuations, the Monaco Card Show aims to remain accessible. Organizers emphasize that whether you are looking to acquire your first card or complete a decade-old collection, the event is designed to be inclusive. In a landscape where both nostalgia and investment intersect, Monaco offers a uniquely elegant venue to explore the best of both worlds.
For a day, Monaco will shift its attention from the roulette wheel to the trading table - proof that in today’s cultural economy, collectibles have earned their place alongside the principality’s more traditional luxuries.
