The KnBs Cards TCG Show brings a focused, trading-card-game-first event to The Space Gallery in Virginia Beach on Saturday, May 23, 2026. While so much of the Hampton Roads hobby calendar leans toward sports cards, this show is built around the TCG community — Pokemon front and center, with plenty of room for the other games collectors and players love. If you have been wanting a relaxed, single-day show where you can dig through binders, fill set needs, and talk shop with people who actually play, this is the one to circle.
Expect tables stacked with Pokemon singles and sealed product spanning vintage WOTC Base Set through the latest Scarlet & Violet era — booster boxes, elite trainer boxes, blisters, tins, and graded slabs in PSA, CGC, and BGS holders. Alongside Pokemon you will typically find Magic: The Gathering, Yu-Gi-Oh!, One Piece TCG, Disney Lorcana, Dragon Ball Z, and other modern games, plus supplies like sleeves, top loaders, deck boxes, and binders so you can protect new pickups on the spot. Many vendors are trade-friendly, so bring a binder of duplicates and be ready to deal.
The show runs Saturday from 9:00 AM to 3:00 PM. Admission is affordable and family-friendly, and the intimate gallery setting makes it easy to browse every table without the crowds of a big convention. Because the room is curated rather than enormous, the vibe is social — a great place for newer collectors to ask questions, for parents to bring kids into the hobby, and for competitive players to hunt staples and chase cards between local tournaments.
The Space Gallery is located at 1650 General Booth Boulevard, Virginia Beach, VA, an easy-to-reach venue on the south side of the city near the Red Mill and Strawbridge areas, just minutes from the oceanfront and Nimmo Parkway. Parking is available on site, and the General Booth corridor is loaded with restaurants and coffee spots if you want to grab a bite before or after digging through tables. The gallery itself is climate-controlled and comfortable, which makes for a pleasant browsing experience even on a warm late-May Saturday.
Who should attend? This show is ideal for Pokemon collectors of every level, TCG players building or upgrading decks, parents introducing kids to the hobby, and casual collectors who prefer a calmer, more personal setting than a packed convention hall. Serious slab hunters will find graded inventory worth the trip, and bargain diggers can usually turn up underpriced singles in the bulk boxes.
A few tips to get the most out of it: arrive close to opening at 9:00 AM for first crack at fresh inventory and the best singles, bring a written want list so you stay focused, and carry cash plus a mobile payment app since vendor preferences vary. Pack penny sleeves and a top loader or two for anything valuable you pick up, and bring your trade binder if you want to move duplicates.
