BILOXI (GG) — From Saturday, June 6th to Sunday, June 7th, The Flip Biloxi Trade Show returned to the Mississippi Gulf Coast Coliseum and Convention Center. Celebrating its 6th year, The Flip Biloxi 2026 proved to be the biggest and busiest year yet.
The Flip Trade Show is a marketplace for collectors of sports cards, autographs, jerseys, wax, vintage, Pokémon, MtG, Lorcana, Funko Pops, pop culture, comics, currency & coins, video games, anime, NASCAR, UFC, F1, and many more collectible categories.
The convention floor of Hall D was lined with more than 150 vendors and over 365 tables from at least 10 different states.
A young entrepreneur from Hancock County, Hamilton Guenard, made $100 Pokemon deals with buyers, earning more than he anticipated at The Flip Biloxi. “It was much larger than my first show at Hancock County’s Fanfest, in terms of the amount of vendors and attendees,” Hamilton stated.
The selection of items varied in each category, making vendors and collectors eager to strike a deal before heading to the next show. The two-day event drew an impressive turnout of collectors over the weekend, with many still searching for elusive items on Sunday afternoon, as vendors made last-minute deals as they were packing up.
Hamilton is preparing his Pokémon trading card business, Hammy’s Holo, for the upcoming Louisiana Card Show and C2 Tradeshow with the support of his parents. For more about Hammy’s Holo, follow on Facebook.
