The Annapolis Sports Card, Pokémon, TCG, & Hobby Exclusive is a free-admission card show at the Annapolis Elks Lodge #622 in Edgewater, Maryland, on Sunday, October 18, 2026. Promoted by Tidewater Cards and Collectibles, it brings Anne Arundel and Southern Maryland collectors a convenient Sunday option just south of Annapolis.
The name lays out the offerings: sports cards, Pokémon, other trading card games, and general hobby items. You can expect baseball, football, basketball, and hockey singles, boxes, and packs, plus Pokémon cards and TCG supplies from local dealers. As a smaller lodge show, it gives sellers a chance to talk with customers, and buyers can browse without lines. Expect a range from bargain bins to more valuable graded pieces.
Hours are 9:00 AM to 3:00 PM and admission is free. The listing does not include a table count (VERIFY).
The show takes place at the Annapolis Elks Lodge #622, 2 Pythian Drive, Edgewater, MD. Elks lodges typically offer surface parking, and Pythian Drive is close to Route 214, making the location easy to reach from Annapolis, Davidsonville, Crofton, and Southern Maryland. From Washington it is about a 40-minute drive under normal traffic.
The event suits families, casual collectors, Pokémon players, and sports fans who prefer a relaxed Sunday show. It is also a nice option for people who live on the Chesapeake side of the region and do not want to fight Beltway traffic.
Arrive close to opening for the best selection, and bring cash and a want list. Since admission is free, consider setting aside a budget for bargain hunting and trades. Bring sleeves and top-loaders for protection, and ask dealers about their other show dates. Tidewater Cards and Collectibles also runs shows in Gaithersburg and Fredericksburg, so regulars can help you plan your next trip.

Sunday shows can be especially pleasant: crowds tend to be lighter than on Saturdays, and dealers are often in a relaxed mood. Edgewater sits along the South River, so the drive can be scenic, and the Annapolis area has an active collecting community that includes Naval Academy fans, Orioles supporters, and Pokémon families. If you are new to the hobby, this is a good place to ask questions about sleeving, grading, and how to check card conditions, because friendly dealers are usually happy to explain. Free admission also means you can pop in for an hour without a big commitment. Elks lodges also tend to be community anchors, hosting fundraisers and charity events, so it is common for local dealers and shoppers to know each other. That sense of familiarity can make the show more fun, and it may help you find the specific card you have been chasing when a neighbor happens to have it in a binder.
If you have time afterward, historic downtown Annapolis and the waterfront are a short drive away and make a good addition to a fall Sunday.
