Our Story

Maximum Card Show all started with a dream. A middle schooler named Max loved Pokémon and sports cards. He eagerly attended every card show he could find, but none were close enough to Bellevue. He often came home disappointed, his pockets empty of the cards he loved. That's when he realized, why should he wait for opportunities to come to him?

​

He envisioned a place where fans like him could gather, trade, and share their passion. Maxwell knew it wouldn't be easy. He spent countless evenings drafting emails, despite being tired from school. He faced rejection after rejection from venues. Yet, every 'no' was a stepping stone, a chance to learn and grow.

​

Maxwell didn't just want to create a show; he wanted to build a community. He reached out to other collectors, listened to their stories, and found strength in their shared enthusiasm. Vendors soon noticed his genuine passion and began to support his dream.

​

Maxwell's journey isn't even close to over. He's excited about the future and can't wait to welcome you to Maximum Card Show. He hopes that together, they can create something truly special—a place where memories are made, friendships are forged, and dreams come to life.
