South East Asia Collectors Convention 2026 or SEACC 2026
Trading card fever continues to grow across Malaysia and Southeast Asia, and one of the biggest events fueling that hype is set to return to Kuala Lumpur in 2026. Whether you collect Pokémon cards, sports memorabilia, rare trading cards, graded collectables, or enjoy browsing hobby conventions, South East Asia Super Collectors Convention 2026 (SEACC 2026) is shaping up to be one of the region’s collector gatherings of the year.
Following strong interest in previous editions, the 3rd edition of SEACC will take place from 1 to 3 May 2026 at the Pavilion Bukit Jalil Exhibition Centre. Based on event posters, official venue listings, and social media announcements, organisers are promising a bigger show floor, more vendors, and plenty of activities for both serious collectors and casual visitors.

This makes it one of the more accessible collector conventions in Malaysia.
What to expect at SEACC 2026
Based on promotional materials and official social media posts, visitors can expect a wide variety of activities.
Buy, sell and trade cards.
This is likely the event’s attraction. Vendors and private collectors are expected to bring:
- Pokémon cards
- Sports cards
- Rare trading card game collections
- Graded cards
- Memorabilia
- Accessories such as sleeves, binders, and storage boxes
Collectors hunting for rare cards or looking to complete sets may find some exciting deals here.
On-site card grading submissions
One major addition this year is the involvement of CGC Cards.
According to CGC, representatives will be present at SEACC 2026 to accept submissions for:
- Trading cards
- Sports cards
- Non-sports cards
Collectors can submit cards directly at the event instead of shipping them overseas, potentially saving on shipping costs while getting professional grading services.
Maxim Korea signing sessions
One of the more unexpected highlights announced for SEACC 2026 is a signing session featuring models from Maxim Korea. This has generated buzz on social media and adds a unique entertainment angle beyond traditional trading card activities.
Fun activities
Official posters also mention:
- Interactive games
- Hobby-related activities
- Community meetups
- Collector networking opportunities
These activities help make SEACC appealing even if you are not planning to spend heavily on collectables.
Why SEACC matters in Southeast Asia
The trading card and collectables scene in Southeast Asia has grown rapidly over the past few years, especially with the rise of Pokémon TCG, sports card investing, and collectable grading services.
Events like SEACC help bring together:
- Hobby shops
- Investors
- Casual fans
- Serious collectors
- International vendors
The 2025 edition also attracted strong attention from major exhibitors and live card activities, showing how quickly the event has expanded. Last year, the event was titled the Southeast Asia Sports Collectors Convention, and I believe there was little demand for sports trading cards, as more vendors focused on Pokémon and other Japanese trading card games.
Final thoughts
If you love Pokémon cards, basketball cards, graded collectables, or enjoy hunting for rare finds, the Southeast Asia Collectors Convention 2026 (SEACC 2026) looks like one of Malaysia’s hobby events to attend next year.
With affordable ticket prices, on-site grading services, autograph sessions, and hundreds of collectables expected under one roof, this convention could be a must-visit for both hardcore collectors and curious newcomers. If you’re going, it may be worth arriving early, especially if you’re looking for rare cards before they disappear from vendor tables.
