The Hartford Yard Goats announced that the club will host the second annual G.O.A.T. Card Show at Dunkin’ Park on Sunday, Aug. 9. The event, held in partnership with THE 413 CARD SHOW, is scheduled to run from 9 a.m. until 2 p.m. at the home of the Colorado Rockies’ Double-A affiliate.

Collectors and enthusiasts will have access to more than 100 tables featuring sports cards and various memorabilia.
