(KNSI) — Trading card enthusiasts and collectors will have a major new destination on Sunday, July 27th, as RipCon makes its debut at the Park Event Center in Waite Park.

Organizer Hunter Branson says the brand-new convention promises to be one of the largest trading card events north of the Twin Cities. RipCon will feature more than 70 vendor tables. Attendees can browse a variety of collectible items, including Pokémon cards, sports cards, trading card games, and more. Hourly raffles will run throughout the day, giving attendees regular opportunities to win prizes.

There is also a Professional Sports Authenticator drop-off service, allowing collectors to submit their valuable cards for professional grading without having to handle the shipping process themselves.

RipCon runs from 10:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m.
