What this is
A neighborhood show, not a convention.
No hotel ballroom. No timed-entry tickets. No line around the block. Twenty tables in a community room, run by the same person who's been running it for years.
You can walk the whole floor in an hour, actually talk to the dealers, and be home before lunch. Sports cards lead the floor — vintage through modern, raw and graded.
A few tables carry Pokémon and other trading card games, because that's what a lot of the kids are chasing right now.
Bring cash. Bring your want list. Bring your kid.

Bringing kids
Kids under 12 get in free. Always.
This is where a lot of us started — a folding table, a quarter box, and somebody patient enough to explain what we were looking at.
Kids don't need to know anything about cards to have a good Saturday here.
Free pack to the first 25 kids through the door.
Quarter boxes at most tables — a few dollars goes a long way.
Dealers who'll talk to them. That's not a promise we make lightly. It's the reason this show has lasted.

FAQ
Questions we get every month
How much is admission?
$2 for adults. Kids under 12 are free.
Do I need a ticket in advance?
No. Walk in, pay at the door. No advance tickets, no timed entry.
Cash or card?
Bring cash. Admission is cash, and while many dealers take Venmo, Zelle, or cards, cash still moves fastest on a card show floor.
What time should I get there?
Doors at 9:00 AM. Serious buyers come early — the best material tends to move in the first hour.
Can I sell my collection?
Yes. Several dealers buy. Bring the cards or bring clear photos, and be ready to talk.
Is there Pokémon?
Yes, a few tables. The show is sports-led, but we keep space for TCG.
Is it good for kids?
It's built for them. Free under 12, free packs for the first 25 through the door, and quarter boxes at most tables.
How do I get a table?
