Why Sponsor the Capital City Card Show?

The Capital City Card Show offers sponsors a powerful platform to connect with families, collectors, and small business owners through one of the fastest-growing communities in the country — the sports card and trading card hobby.

1. Direct Access to a Passionate, Local Audience

Our November event in Citrus Heights, California, is projected to draw hundreds of attendees ranging from serious collectors and casual hobbyists to parents introducing their kids to the joy of collecting. Sponsoring gives you brand visibility right at the heart of this engaged, niche community that thrives on trust, loyalty, and shared passion.

Unlike large corporate expos, Capital City Card Show emphasizes a welcoming, family-friendly atmosphere.

• Instagram, Facebook, and YouTube shoutouts

• Digital billboard placement across Sacramento

• Inclusion on vendor badges, flyers, signage, and floor plans

JEFF PORTZ

About Myself – Organizer of the Capital City Card Show

My name is Jeff Portz, and I’m the founder and organizer of the Capital City Card Show, a premier sports card and trading card event in the Sacramento region. I’ve been deeply involved in the hobby for years—as a collector, small business owner, and community builder—and I created this show with a clear vision: to bring collectors, vendors, and families together under one roof for an unforgettable experience.

What sets me apart as an organizer is my focus on community and family. I want the Capital City Card Show to be more than just a marketplace—it’s a place where kids can trade their first cards, collectors can discover rare gems, vendors can grow their businesses, and families can enjoy food trucks, entertainment, and a welcoming atmosphere.

I approach the show with an entrepreneurial mindset and attention to detail, ensuring vendors feel supported, sponsors receive strong visibility, and attendees leave already excited for the next one. With over 100 vendor tables, local and national sponsorship partners, and a grassroots marketing approach, I’m building the Capital City Card Show to become a signature event for the hobby in Northern California.

My ultimate goal is simple: to create a show that celebrates the hobby, supports small businesses, and strengthens the collector community for generations to come.
