Stack\u2019s Bowers Galleries<\/a> is pleased to announce that it has acquired from Collectors Universe, Inc. the popular Long Beach Expo, The Collectibles Show<\/a>, one of the longest-running and most respected numismatic events in the United States.

\u201cOur mission is to ensure that this historic venue remains a vibrant hub for collectors and dealers,\u201d said Brian Kendrella, President of Stack\u2019s Bowers Galleries. \u201cWe are proud to support a show that has played such an important role in numismatics, and we look forward to strengthening its future, beginning with our first Expo in February 2026.\u201d<\/p>\n

The first event under the new ownership will be a smaller and more intimate \u201cinvitational\u201d edition of the show at the Long Beach Convention & Entertainment Center, Hall C. The show will be open to attendees February 18-20, 2026, with dealer setup on Tuesday, February 17.<\/p>\n

\u201cPCGS is thrilled to support the return of the Long Beach Expo to Southern California,\u201d said PCGS President Stephanie Sabin. \u201cThe show has been a West Coast tradition for more than 60 years, and PCGS has had a presence at the show since our beginning in 1986.
