Holmestead Sports Cards & Collectibles Store

We’ve had a lot of people asking what the new Premier Trade Event is all about, so here’s a quick FAQ!

Think of it as the new and improved version of our old Trade Nights: more tables, more space, more collectors, and the same welcoming atmosphere.

See you June 20th!

Thank you to everyone who joined us at the Premier Card & Collectibles Convention this weekend!

As hosts of the event, it was incredible to see more than 1,000 people come through the doors and help make this our biggest show yet.

A huge thank you to all of the vendors, collectors, families, and hobby enthusiasts who spent their day with us. We loved seeing so many familiar faces and meeting new ones as well.

We're grateful for the support you've shown both Premier and Holmestead, and we're already looking forward to the next show.

Thank you for being part of an amazing day in the hobby!

What a night! 🔥

A huge thank you to everyone who joined us for Trade Night last week. The tables were busy, the conversations were flowing, trades were being made, and there were even some fantastic pulls throughout the evening!

Trade Night is evolving into something bigger with the launch of the new Premier Trade Event!

📅 Saturday, June 20
🕐 1 p.m. – 5 p.m.
📍 YMCA North, Red Deer

More space. More tables. More opportunities to trade.

A few new Pokemon goodies found their way onto the shelves today!

- Mega Moonlit tins
- Chaos Rising Build & Battle
- 2025 World Championship Decks
- Lumiose City Mini Tin

Tomorrow is finally show day!

While part of the Holmestead crew will be busy at Westerner Park at the Premier Card & Collectibles Convention, Jim will be taking care of things at the store from 10:30am-5:30pm.

If you can't make it to the show, stop by the store and we'll be happy to help you out. If you're heading to Westerner this weekend, be sure to come say hi and check out everything the convention has to offer.

As hosts of the Premier Card & Collectibles Convention, we're excited to see this Saturday's show become our biggest one yet.

160 tables
100+ vendors

One thing we're especially proud of is the balance. Roughly half the show floor will be sports cards, with the other half featuring Pokémon, TCGs, collectibles, memorabilia, custom creations and more.

We'll be there all day with sealed sports cards, Pokémon products, crafts, and giveaways.

See you Saturday in Red Deer!

I feel like DeliveryMan Andy cries a little bit around release days. 😂😂😂 This should be it for the rest of the week.

We had a nice little addition of 25-26 Platinum blasters, some 2026 Bowman mega boxes and Annual hobby boxes. 👌🏼

The Premier Card & Collectibles Convention is just 3 days away, and we're still looking for a few more helping hands to assist with show setup on Saturday morning.

Volunteers will help vendors find their booth and get ready for showtime from 8 a.m. to 10 a.m. and, as a thank you, will receive a complimentary breakfast and early access to the convention before doors open to the public.

Whether you're a card collector, hobby enthusiast, or simply looking to be part of one of Central Alberta's best card and collectible conventions, we'd love to have you join us.

Message us or email [email protected] if you're interested!

We LOVE when customers come back to share their big pulls!

This afternoon, one lucky collector picked up a Perfect Order Booster Bundle and pulled both a Clefairy Illustration Rare AND a Mega Zygarde ex Special Illustration Rare (120/088)!!🔥

It seems Cass has the magic touch when it comes to picking lucky boxes this week. Stop by and see her before the end of the day. She’ll be in the store until 5:30pm!
