Flip. Haggle. Swap. And be ready to Pull at the upcoming Bangalore Card Show 2.0.

Launched on June 14, 2026, the first ever edition of this trading card gaming event saw such an overwhelming response, the founders are bringing it back for one more edition before the year ends. The Bangalore Card Show (BCS) was conceptualised and fleshed into reality by Sagar S and Ryan Satish, both avid collectors based out of Bengaluru. As India does not have an official platform for the distribution of Trading Card Games (TCG), enthusiasts today, often find like-minded souls via social media. “Someone reached out to me and I found out that there is a community of collectors in Bengaluru; we got in touch and I got added to groups,” says Ryan, a wildlife biologist.

“In 2021, I met Sagar on one of these groups and we started meeting regularly. There were about 20 of us in the city then, with about 100-150 collectors in different parts of the country.” The group would end up spending weekends at each other’s places “just sharing our love for Pokemon”.
