Card Trade Show Volume 6 brings free-entry collecting event to Dubai

Dubai collectors have a confirmed Halloween-weekend card event to plan around. Sandbox Swapmeet’s Card Trade Show Volume 6 will take place on 31 October–1 November 2026 at The B1 Mall in Al Barsha, Dubai, with advertised hours of 10am–10pm and free public entry.

In an Instagram update published on 22 October, the organiser introduced Gamified as a sponsor and highlighted Pokémon, One Piece, Yu-Gi-Oh! and accessories among the offerings.

What is confirmed

The organiser’s booth-booking website independently lists the same dates and identifies the venue as B1 Mall, Al Barsha. It describes a gathering for collectors, traders, retailers and enthusiasts, including trading cards and graded collectibles.

TCG Calendar’s event listing names Gamified and Holoverse Collective TCG as confirmed attending vendors. Its activity categories include buying, selling, trading, grading, tournaments and learn-to-play sessions.

Those broad categories should not be mistaken for a detailed tournament programme. The cited listing does not specify individual game schedules, competitive formats, prize structures or tournament registration arrangements.

Similarly, a grading activity listing does not by itself confirm that a particular grading company will operate an on-site service. Collectors considering submissions should ask the organiser or attending provider for the exact arrangement before bringing cards for that purpose.

How to take part

For visitors, the organiser advertises free entry during the published opening hours. Anyone intending to enter a tournament should seek the relevant event instructions separately rather than assuming general admission reserves a competitive place.

Vendors have a separate online booking route. Sandbox’s booking website instructs applicants to select a booth from its live floor plan, review the price and included facilities, then pay online. Booking confirmation is sent by email.

The booth-booking page is linked below. No booth price is quoted here because the cited instructions direct vendors to review their chosen booking before payment.

What it means for collectors

This is a locally confirmed opportunity to browse cards, meet vendors and explore trading without an admission charge. For FindAnyCard readers, it also offers a reason to prepare a focused want-list before attending.

If you plan to trade graded cards, bring clear details of the cards and grades you are offering. Check the organiser’s latest updates before travelling, and obtain specific confirmation for any tournament, grading submission or vendor booking you intend to use.
