The Newark Pavilion Collectible Show returns on Sunday, November 29, 2026, landing on the final day of Thanksgiving weekend. That placement is deliberate and useful: shoppers who spent Black Friday and Saturday at the bigger fairgrounds events can close the weekend with a completely different kind of floor, and dealers who did not book a table at the larger shows bring inventory that has not already been picked over.
This is a broad collectibles show rather than a cards-only event, which is exactly what makes it worth the trip on a holiday Sunday. Alongside the card tables you will find vintage toys and action figures, Funko Pops, comics from golden age through modern, retro video games and consoles, records, autographed memorabilia including signed baseballs, jerseys, and photographs, and general antiques and pop-culture ephemera. On the card side, sports dealers carry NFL at midseason with strong San Francisco 49ers and Las Vegas Raiders stock, NBA led by Golden State Warriors and Sacramento Kings, NHL with San Jose Sharks material, and offseason MLB featuring San Francisco Giants and Oakland Athletics. Product spans 1950s and 1960s Topps and Bowman vintage, 1970s and 1980s set-builder runs, junk-wax dollar boxes, and modern Panini Prizm, Donruss Optic, Select, Mosaic, Topps Chrome, and Bowman Draft. Trading card game vendors cover Pokémon singles and sealed across vintage and modern eras — holiday tins and elite trainer boxes move quickly this weekend — plus Magic: The Gathering, Yu-Gi-Oh!, One Piece, Disney Lorcana, Dragon Ball Super, and Digimon. Locked cases hold PSA, BGS, SGC, and CGC graded slabs.
Hours are Sunday only, 10:00 AM to 4:00 PM Pacific — a single six-hour session with no VIP tier and no timed entry. Admission price was not published at the time of listing, so treat it as VERIFY and confirm with the promoter; Newark Pavilion shows historically charge a low walk-up door rate with accompanied children admitted free.
The Newark Pavilion is at 6430 Thornton Avenue in Newark, a large single-level hall with high ceilings, wide aisles, and free on-site parking that rarely fills. The building is climate-controlled and ADA-accessible, and the flat layout makes it easy with a rolling case, a stroller, or visiting family in tow. Highway 84 and the Dumbarton Bridge approach are minutes away and Interstate 880 is a short drive east, so the show pulls from Fremont, Union City, Hayward, Milpitas, and the mid-Peninsula alike. Newark and Fremont offer a deep, varied restaurant scene within five minutes.
This edition suits holiday shoppers hunting gifts beyond cards, families with relatives in town over the long weekend, comic and toy collectors, set builders working dollar boxes, TCG players, and dealers buying raw collections from walk-in sellers clearing out before the new year.
For the best experience, arrive at 10:00 AM — holiday-weekend Sundays draw well and six hours goes fast. Bring cash in mixed denominations, a want list covering cards and any non-card categories you collect, sleeves and top loaders, and a sturdy bag. Walk the full hall before buying; with this many vendor types, comparable items are priced very differently table to table.
