The Mid-Atlantic Sports Card Show returns to the Silver Spring Civic Building at Veterans Plaza on Saturday, November 14, 2026. Promoted by Ryan McCormick of Mid-Atlantic Collectibles, it is one of the region's best-known sports card events, drawing dealers and buyers from Washington, Maryland, and Virginia to a downtown Silver Spring location that is easy to reach by Metro, car, or bus.
The show is billed as a sports card and collectibles event, and its vendor list typically includes vintage and modern baseball, basketball, football, and hockey cards, along with Pokémon, autographs, Marvel items, jerseys, and memorabilia. The promoter's site lists 185 tables for this date, while the event's general description mentions 70-plus dealers and 95-plus tables, so treat the exact table count as approximate (VERIFY). Either way, the room is large enough to offer real variety, from bargain boxes to high-end graded slabs.
Hours are 10:00 AM to 3:00 PM. Early admission begins at 9:00 AM for $10, general admission is $5, children 10 and under are free, and a special-needs entry period begins at 8:30 AM. These options make the show inclusive for families and collectors who prefer a quieter start.
The venue is the Silver Spring Civic Building at Veterans Plaza, 1 Veterans Place, Silver Spring, MD. It is a short walk from the Silver Spring Metro station on the Red Line, which is a great option if you want to avoid parking. Nearby public garages are also available in downtown Silver Spring, and the plaza is surrounded by restaurants, cafes, and shops that make it easy to build in a meal break.
This show suits serious collectors, first-time visitors, families, and dealers looking for a high-traffic Saturday table. Because it is well organized and well attended, it is also a solid choice if you plan to sell or trade a collection.
Pay for early admission if you are chasing specific cards, since the best pieces go quickly. Bring cash, a want list, and a phone for price checks, and use the Metro if you want a stress-free arrival. Walk the room once before buying and compare prices across similar cards. Bring top-loaders, sleeves, and a sturdy bag for your finds.
Mid-Atlantic Collectibles also lists shows on February 6-7, 2027, and later dates through the next year. Contact Ryan McCormick at [email protected] or 202-495-9913, and follow @midatlanticcollectibles on Instagram, Facebook, Twitter, and YouTube for updates.
Downtown Silver Spring has an unusually good setup for a card show weekend. Veterans Plaza sits in the middle of a walkable district with the AFI Silver Theatre, cafes, and plenty of restaurants, so non-collecting family members can find something to do while you shop. In November, the plaza's seasonal atmosphere adds to the outing, and the Metro's Red Line makes the trip easy from Bethesda, Rockville, Takoma Park, and downtown Washington. If you are traveling from farther away, use the public garages and allow extra time on show morning.
The promoter's site emphasizes a welcoming environment, so ask questions if you are new, and do not hesitate to talk with dealers about grading, storage, and trends.
