Joe Carter and other celebrities will be in Mississauga this weekend for the Sports Card Expo.

Carter, the former baseball player who won the World Series for the Toronto Blue Jays with his ninth-inning walk-off homerun in 1993, will be signing autographs along with a host of other sports stars and television personalities at the show that runs tomorrow (Nov. 8) through Sunday at the International Centre in Malton.

Other well-known sports stars that are appearing include baseball hall of famers Tom Glavine and Jack Morris and NBA legend Gary Payton.

Several hockey players will also be on-hand for autograph sessions. These include Shea Weber, Tim Thomas, Bryan Trottier, Jeremy Roenick, Grant Fuhr and Lanny McDonald, to name just a few.

Professional wrestlers Powers of Pain and Rikisi will also be at the show.

For fans of the old television series Baywatch, cast members Nicole Eggert, Gena Lee Nolin, Brande Roderick and Angelica Bridges will also be signing autographs.

Various fees apply for autographs. A full list of attendees can be found here.

The largest show of its kind in Canada, the twice-yearly Sports Card Expo attracts thousands of collectors from across North America, especially those looking for hockey-related items.

As well as the autograph guests, more than 500 vendors and representatives of the sports memorabilia industry will be on hand selling rare collectibles such as cards, equipment and other items in the 200,000 sq-ft space at the 6900 Airport Road exhibition centre.
