Every show from the calendar that has already happened, newest first, with the flyers kept. Useful for working out when the last one of a show was, or for finding the one you went to.
The calendar of what is coming up is the page to start on. Nothing here is on any more.
Free Monthly 72-table show, lots of great Pokemon vendors, and a good mix of vintage and modern sports cards and collectibles, plus there is a giveaway at noon.

Run out of Pallet Town Poke Shop by one of the people behind Buffalo Trading Card Con.
Billed as Central New York's largest toy and comic book show, up to 120 tables, with Pokemon among the categories the promoter lists.
A Pittsburgh-area show and one of the longest drives on this page, so it is a day out rather than a Saturday morning; the badge gives the real drive. 200 tables, sports cards and TCG together, with Pokemon billed. VIP is $12 and gets you in two hours early with a welcome gift; general admission is $5 after that. Run by North Pittsburgh Sports Cards, whose poster also carries a separate fundraiser show in September. Not to be confused with the other Big Show Card Show, which is in Breinigsville at the far end of the state.

Buffalo Prime Time Sport Card Show Call or text 716-465-7736
A dedicated Pokemon show at the Fairgrounds, billed by the promoter as a TCG collectibles show: trading cards, games, toys, Funko Pops, plush and a whole lot more. The artwork is Pikachu, Ash and three Pokemon cards, so this is the one CNY Promotions date that is about Pokemon rather than merely including it.

The charity card and collectibles show at Archangel School on Chili Ave is back for October. Free to get in, and food is sold on site.

Vendors we confirmed
Batavia is the halfway point between Rochester, NY and Buffalo, about 40 minutes out the Thruway. The larger of the two we go to, with more vendors, and Pokemon dealers set up alongside the sports tables. The drive is what gets you dealers from both cities in one room.

Vendors we confirmed
A Magic: The Gathering tournament weekend, not a walk-in card show, and it is here because of the vendor hall: Card Garden, Rochester CCG, The Mana Mart and The Slaughterhouse Games are all listed. Playing costs $90 for the Premodern main and $70 for the Legacy. Excalibur publish no price for walking in just to browse, so check before you drive.
Confirm the venue before you go. The organizer's weekend page, which this listing's venue and hours were read from, has come down, and its new event listings now say Venue TBA.
An all Pokemon show at the Batavia Quality Inn, free in, with food on site.

A first year show, and the flyer says 100 tables are expected rather than booked.

The Friday is the vendor evening rather than a tournament day: the hall is open 3pm to 9pm and the mains do not start until Saturday. A collector on r/Buffalo, who found these hours, cautions that there is no guarantee every vendor is set up that night and suggests asking Card Garden or Rochester CCG first.

A weeknight show, and almost everything else on this page is a weekend. If your Saturdays and Sundays are already spoken for, this is the one that fits.
A comic con rather than a card show, and it is here for the same reason the Excalibur weekend is: the vendor hall. Two Pokemon vendors are confirmed in the room, Legends Card Shop and TOAK Pulls, both of whom put it on their own upcoming dates. Three days, and the Friday is the short one at 3pm to 8pm. Ages 10 and under get in free, 11 to 14 pay less, and a weekend pass is $60 pre-sale. Parking is free on site.

A charity show for Archangel School, run by the people behind the Batavia shows. Free to get in, and the promoter bills vintage and modern sports cards, Pokemon and non-sports cards.

Held in the Science and Industry Building at the Fairgrounds, not in Liverpool. The promoter bills it as Central New York's premier and largest sports cards, memorabilia and TCG collectible show, and the flyer says all 120 tables are sold out.
A free Buffalo-area show that draws 350 to 500 people through the door, with TCG and sports side by side.
A TCG show rather than a sports show. Children 5 and under get in free and there is an early bird from 9am, but the flyer prints no adult price. Fifty vendor tables, and the flyer is still asking for vendors. The organizer publishes on Instagram as @primetimetcgshow.

All Pokemon show, so the whole floor is our cards rather than a couple of tables tolerated in a corner.
Shows move on to this page by themselves the morning after they happen. If one you went to is missing, or a detail here is wrong, say so on any of the socials and it gets fixed.
