The Lunarian Fall-cation Card Show brings a sports card event to the Hilton Arlington in Arlington, Virginia, on Sunday, November 15, 2026. Located right across the Potomac from Washington, DC, it gives urban collectors, Pentagon City residents, and Metro riders a rare card show that can be reached without a car. The playful name suggests a relaxed, autumn-getaway mood, and the Sunday schedule makes it easy to combine with a weekend in the capital region.
The show is listed as a sports card event, so expect baseball, basketball, football, and hockey cards on dealer tables, including singles, rookies, autographs, and sealed boxes. Arlington's collecting community is closely tied to Washington's sports teams, so look for Nationals, Commanders, Capitals, Wizards, and Mystics items alongside national stars. The vendor count is not announced (VERIFY), so expect a hotel-ballroom scale show rather than a giant expo.
Doors open at 10:00 AM on Sunday, November 15, and the show runs until 4:00 PM. Admission has not been confirmed (VERIFY). Check the event page or contact the organizers for pricing, and ask about any discounts for children or military families, which are common in the Arlington area.
The venue is the Hilton Arlington, in Arlington, VA. Because the hotel is in a dense urban area, driving and parking can be more complicated than at suburban shows, so consider taking Metro, which reaches Arlington from across the region, and ask the hotel about parking rates if you drive. The neighborhood offers restaurants and coffee shops, and Offcourt TCG and GP1 Sports, local hobby shops, are nearby if you want to extend your collecting day.
This show suits city dwellers, Metro commuters, sports fans, and collectors who like a Sunday event with a lower-key crowd. It also works for visitors staying in DC who want to fit a card show into a weekend trip.
Arrive shortly after opening for the best selection, bring cash and a want list, and take a moment to review recent sold prices on your phone. Since space in a hotel ballroom is limited, plan to make your rounds efficiently, then circle back to favorites. If you travel by Metro, pack light and protect purchases in a rigid folder or box so cards do not bend on the ride home.
Urban card shows can be a good place to find cards tied to Washington sports history, including Capitals Stanley Cup items, Nationals World Series memorabilia, and older Bullets and Redskins-era pieces, so ask dealers what regional items they have.
Sunday shows in dense urban areas often draw a mix of long-time collectors and curious newcomers who wandered in because they live or work nearby. That mix can be a real advantage if you are trying to sell: buyers are varied, and interest in unusual items such as international soccer cards, Olympic sets, or older non-sport cards can be high. If you are buying, take your time, because cards in a hotel ballroom setting are easy to inspect under good lighting, and the calm pace of a Sunday makes it easier to compare condition before deciding.
