The big recurring shows worth traveling for
The National (NSCC)
The National Sports Collectors Convention — the hobby's biggest annual show, rotating between a handful of host cities each summer. Sports-first, but the TCG floor grows every year.
Collect-A-Con
The traveling trading-card-and-anime convention — multiple cities across the year, heavy Pokémon presence, big trade-night energy.
Frank & Son Collectible Show
The legendary City of Industry warehouse show — running twice a week for decades. A permanent card show, effectively.
White Plains & Chantilly
The White Plains (NY) show and the Chantilly (VA) show are the long-running monthly-ish anchors of the northeast circuit.
Trade nights at your LCS
Most local card shops run weekly Pokémon trade nights — the easiest rep to build, and where you'll hear about every regional show first.
Check dates before you drive
Show schedules move. Confirm dates on the organizer's own page or socials before traveling — the local searches above surface the current listings.
