Chapter One

The Expo

A single Saturday at Harts Mill, reimagined as a trophy hall of personal history — cartridges, binders, binders within binders, rookies, holos, sealed boxes, mint sleeves, the lot.

“Everything you saved under your bed, behind glass for a day. CollectorVerse is a love letter to three generations of collecting — the cartridge you never sold, the card you protected with your life, the rookie that ended up in a shoebox.

Common questions

Still wondering? Here's the quick version. For anything we haven't covered, reach us at hello@collectorverse.au.

01When and where is CollectorVerse?+
CollectorVerse runs for one day in July 2026 at Harts Mill in Port Adelaide, South Australia. The exact date and final gate times will be locked in once vendor registrations close — everyone who subscribes gets the date first.
02How does ticketing work?+
Presale General Admission is $5 online, available up to one week before the event. In the final week (and on the door) standard GA is $10. If you want on the floor before the public 11am opening, grab a $10 Early Entry ticket. Kids under 12 enter free with a paying adult.
03Can I exhibit as a collector, not a business?+
Absolutely — that's half the point. Solo collectors, parents-cleaning-the-garage and hobby sellers are welcome. Use the expression-of-interest form above and note your category. We'll match you with a table size that fits.
04What kinds of stalls are there?+
Tables come in four sizes: Small (1 trestle), Medium (2), Corner (3 in an L) and Island (4+). Pick what suits on the form and we'll confirm pricing and positioning based on category and floor layout.
05Is there parking and food at Harts Mill?+
Harts Mill has on-site parking, public transport connections to Port Adelaide, and food and drink vendors on the wharf precinct. We'll publish a venue guide closer to the date.
