The Madison Card Show is making headlines once again — this time on Channel 3000, Madison’s trusted local news station. The crew from Channel 3000 stopped by the October Madison Card Show to film a special segment on the growing popularity of sports cards, collectibles, and the incredible community that gathers each month at the Alliant Energy Center.
A Large Crowd of Collectors
The latest Madison Card Show drew an impressive 1,600 attendees, filling the Exhibition Hall with sports card enthusiasts, dealers, and collectors from across Wisconsin, Illinois, Iowa, Minnesota, and beyond.
