The New York Evolving TCG Show comes to the Four Points by Sheraton Flushing on Saturday, September 19, 2026, with more than 100 vendor tables and a full-day schedule that runs from a 10:00 AM VIP opening through a vendor-and-VIP trade night that ends at 6:30 PM. The Evolving TCG team runs shows on both sides of the Hudson and describes the New York edition as the city's fastest growing TCG show; the Flushing location puts it in the heart of one of the most active Pokemon collecting communities in the country.
The floor is all trading card games. Pokemon leads with modern alt arts and special illustration rares, vintage WOTC holos, Japanese sets and promos, graded slabs from PSA, CGC, and BGS, and sealed booster boxes, elite trainer boxes, and collection boxes. One Piece is the second pillar, with leaders, mangas, and sealed product, and you will also find Yu-Gi-Oh!, Magic: The Gathering, Lorcana, Dragon Ball, and Union Arena vendors. High-end deals and nonstop trading are the show's reputation, so expect a lot of binders in the aisles.
The day is tiered. VIP ticket holders enter at 10:00 AM and shop until 4:30 PM, then stay for the exclusive Trade Night from 5:30 PM to 6:30 PM, which is open only to vendors and VIP badge holders. General admission runs 11:00 AM to 4:30 PM. Kids under 10 are free. Tickets are sold in advance at evolvingtcg.net, and VIP typically sells out ahead of the show, so buy early if you want the trade night access.
The Four Points by Sheraton is at 33-68 Farrington Street in downtown Flushing, a short walk from the Flushing-Main Street terminal of the 7 train and the LIRR Port Washington branch, and a few blocks from the Q-bus hub on Main Street. Hotel parking is available for a fee, and there are municipal lots and garages throughout downtown Flushing, though they fill on Saturdays. The surrounding blocks are one of the best food neighborhoods in the city, so plan a lunch break.
Who should attend: serious Pokemon and One Piece collectors who want high-end inventory and a curated trade night, competitive players restocking singles, families with kids under 10 who get in free, and dealers looking for a strong buying crowd. First-timers will find the VIP tier worth it if they plan to trade.
Tips: bring cash and a sleeved trade binder, and know your comps before the trade night. Arrive at the VIP opening if you are chasing anything specific. Walk the whole room before buying, because the same chase cards appear at multiple tables. The show returns to the same venue on October 24, November 14, and December 13, 2026.
