Never been to one?
A room of tables, each one somebody's stock. You can buy, you can sell, and you can trade, at the same table, in the same visit. Nobody minds which one you are there for.
What the marks mean
Most of these are general card shows: sports, Pokemon and other TCG on the same floor. A show marked Pokemon show is a Pokemon event: Pokemon is what it is billed as and there are no sports, though a few also carry Magic or One Piece. One marked Pokemon here too is a general show where we have confirmed Pokemon is on the floor, either because we go to it or because the organizer says so.
A show marked Pokemon not confirmed is one we have not been able to check. Shows tend to say so when they are one thing only, so a general collectors show usually does have a mix, but that is a rule of thumb and not a promise. We are asking the organizers, and marks change as answers come back. Know a show we are missing, or can you confirm one? Tell us →
This list is kept by hand, so it is only as good as what we can find. If you run a show, or you have a flyer from a local Discord or a shop counter, the show form takes every detail plus the flyer and logo as uploads, in about three minutes. Email or any of the socials at the bottom of the page work too. If we can confirm the date it goes up here, and flyers get shown in full.
Nothing on for a while? The card shops around Rochester, NY are open the rest of the time and run league nights, local vendors are the sellers and breakers without a storefront, and local creators is everyone else filming Pokemon up here. Everything local in one place is the short version of all of it, counted.
Running a show? Use the show form (it asks you to sign in with Google so it can take the flyer), or send the date, the venue and what a table costs, and attach the flyer: email the channel. Listings are collected by hand and cost nothing.
