Founder Jordan Gorman, whose passion for collecting and community sparked the creation of the Scotland Card Show, commented: "I have been an avid collector since I was a kid and, as my hobby grew, I noticed that community events were largely held in England. I wanted to create something for Scotland's card-collecting community. I was prepared to take a risk, and I've learned so much along the way. I'm absolutely thrilled to bring together such a diverse group of enthusiasts for an event that truly celebrates our shared passion."
With VIP admissions opening at 10:30 am and general admissions from 11:00 am on both days, visitors have ample opportunity to explore, trade, and connect within a vibrant atmosphere that caters to both seasoned collectors and newcomers alike.
