The passion for football and Pokémon trading cards continues to grow. This was evident from the massive turnout at the Valencia Card Show in Silla. This third edition surpassed all forecasts, registering higher attendance than the previous event on the first day alone. Collectors from various parts of Spain and Europe gathered at La Nau de Silla.
This year, the exhibition featured several treasures contributed by collectors, some available for sale and others for display only. Among the most sought-after items was an authenticated Cristiano Ronaldo card, valued at 3,000 euros. For public display, boots worn by Lamine Yamal, estimated at over 25,000 euros, were showcased, as well as others from his FC Barcelona teammate, Pedri. The exclusive Ballon d'Or boots of Benzema, of which only four exist worldwide, were also exhibited.
One of the event's highlights was the presence of Santiago Cañizares, former goalkeeper of the golden decade for Valencia CF and Real Madrid. Cañizares signed autographs and a large number of trading cards, generating great excitement among attendees.
“"I have signed true relics."
Outside the world of football, Pokémon Elite Trainer Boxes (ETB) were also highly requested items. The organizers of the Valencia Card Show expressed their satisfaction with the great reception and success of the edition, thanking the public's behavior, the support of the Silla City Council, and the collaboration of volunteers. They stated their intention to continue growing and offer more surprises in future editions.
The mayor of Silla, Vicente Zaragozá, celebrated that the municipality was chosen to host this gathering, emphasizing that it serves not only to promote the town but also to generate wealth for local businesses.
