757 Card Shows runs its TCG Fest at the Norfolk Masonic Temple on Saturday, February 13, 2027. The promoter splits its Masonic Temple calendar deliberately: some dates are sports-focused and some are trading card game focused, and this one belongs entirely to the TCG side. If your collection is Pokemon, Magic, Yu-Gi-Oh! or One Piece rather than baseball and football, this is the Norfolk date to circle.
Pokemon is the largest single category on the floor. Vendors bring sealed booster boxes, elite trainer boxes, collection boxes, tins and blisters from current sets, plus back stock from earlier releases that has left retail shelves. Singles run from bulk commons priced by the hundred through alt arts, special illustration rares and graded slabs from PSA, CGC, BGS and SGC. Vintage WOTC-era cards from Base Set through the Neo blocks appear in cases, and Japanese and Korean imports are usually available from at least one dealer. Magic: The Gathering is well covered with commander staples, sealed collector and set boosters, reserved list conversations and older playable cards at reasonable prices. Yu-Gi-Oh! vendors bring meta staples, ghost and starlight rares and structure decks. One Piece, Lorcana, Digimon, Flesh and Blood and Dragon Ball Super all get table space. Hobby supplies are available on site if you need sleeves, top loaders or binder pages.
Doors open in the morning and the show runs through mid-afternoon as a single Saturday session. Admission is free and parking is free, the promoter's standing policy across their whole calendar. There is no ticketing, no VIP tier and no early-bird fee. Children are welcome at no charge and are well served, since several vendors keep affordable boxes and repacks specifically for younger collectors.
The Norfolk Masonic Temple is a historic building with a large open hall, good lighting and character that a hotel ballroom cannot match. Parking is free in the surrounding area, restrooms are on site, and access from Interstate 264 and downtown Norfolk is direct. The drive from Virginia Beach, Chesapeake and Portsmouth is short.
Who should attend: Pokemon collectors at every level, competitive players restocking staples, traders looking for an active binder-swapping crowd, families with kids who collect, and anyone who has found that mixed sports-and-TCG shows leave them digging past three tables of baseball to find one binder of what they actually want. A dedicated TCG date solves that problem.
Tips for the best experience: arrive at the door if you are chasing specific chase cards or sealed product at good prices, since both go quickly. Bring cash in small bills. Keep a want list organized by set and card number so you can scan a binder efficiently. Ask about bundle pricing when buying multiple singles from one vendor. Take a full lap before committing, because identical cards commonly sit at very different prices. Bring your trade binder, as the trading culture at this show is active.
