Somewhere in Fort Myers, there’s a Pokémon collector trying to finish a set, somebody searching for an elusive Charizard, and another person who probably has more Funko Pops than shelf space.

They might all end up at Edison Mall on Saturday, October 17.

Charlie’s Cards and Collectibles is hosting a free event featuring Pokémon cards, trading cards, toys, artwork, and collectibles from a variety of local sellers.

The event is presented by Charlie’s Comic Con and features vendors including KantoBro, Goddess Collectibles, PG Hobby House, PM Collectibles, The Hobby Bowl, and Funova Collectables Toy Boutique.

Pokémon will have a strong presence, but there’s more to the event than Pikachu and company. Magic: The Gathering, Yu-Gi-Oh!, sports cards, toys, and handmade creations are also represented among the participating sellers.

It’s also an opportunity to support some of the smaller businesses and independent sellers who make up Southwest Florida’s collecting community.

And since the event is happening inside Edison Mall, you don’t have to plan an entire day around attending a convention. You can stop in, visit the sellers, and make it part of your regular Saturday.

Charlie’s Cards and Collectibles takes place Saturday, October 17, 2026, from 10 AM to 4 PM at Edison Mall, 4125 Cleveland Avenue, Fort Myers, Florida 33901. Admission is free.

If you’ve got a collection that never seems to be finished, there’s a good chance you’ll understand why events like this keep popping up around Florida.

There’s always another card, another figure, or another collectible.

And somehow, there’s never enough shelf space.
