The Citynet Center at The Bridge Sports Complex will be the site for a sports card, Pokemon and TGC card show on July 19.

The event which is being presented by BTuck Promotions will take place from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. on the second floor indoor turf. Kids 12 & under must be accompanied by an adult.

Admission is free and the first 50 kids will receive a giveaway.

There will also be at least one door prize giveaway.

“The main reason for my show is to get kids interested in the hobby,” said Brady Tucker, owner of BTuck Sports Cards and BTuck Promotions. “The first 50 kids will get a free baggy with a bunch of baseball and football cards.”

“When I give kids cards out of my boxes, they are ecstatic. I want to give kids that opportunity around here.”

Tucker who is originally from Morgantown grew up collecting cards and enjoying cards but didn’t get into buying and selling them until a few years ago. He moved to Roanoke, Virginia, four years ago (before returning recently) where there was a card show in close proximity every week.

Card shows are a hot commodity right now so bringing one to The Bridge is a natural fit considering how many other activities go on there.

“There’s a baseball tournament going on the same weekend and that’s a big reason I chose to have it at The Bridge,” Tucker said. “I think it will be fun and give them something to do in between games.”

Tucker is expecting more than 50 tables and has the capacity for 100. Tables for vendors cost $60 and interested vendors can contact Tucker at 681-209-8657. You can also find more information or send a direct message on the BTuck Sports Card Facebook page or the BTuck Promotions Facebook page.

Staff at The Bridge is equally excited about the show coming to their facility.

“I think it will be very good,” said Kayla Kurczak, Sports Manager at The Bridge. “I think the kids will be excited. This is a great place for an event like this because we have so many people coming in every week with different events. Having the card show and the baseball tournament going on at the same time is going to be great.

“It’s a great addition and we plan to have him back in the future.”

Tucker said he would like to get in a position to have a show like this every other month at The Bridge.
