Be ahead of other collectors: With early planning, you can get finances ready, preorder when possible, and schedule visits at hobby stores and events.
Organize your collecting strategy: If you follow specific sports, teams, or release types (e.g., limited-edition), the calendar helps you anticipate when to target drops.
Tips to Make the Most of the Calendar
Check regularly: Release dates often change, so going to the website regularly will help you learn of updated or newly added releases.
Set reminders: use your phone or calendar app to mark key release days for especially highly anticipated hobby boxes.
Combine with events & shows: If you utilize our card-show listings or store-locator tools, you can coordinate release drops with local card events for potential deals or trades.
Follow release-type tags: Some drops are for retail only, hobby exclusives, and/or limited editions. Use tags or notes provided to know which category a release falls into.
