The Northwest Valley Coin & Card Show sets up at the DoubleTree by Hilton Phoenix North on Saturday, November 21, 2026, landing right in the pre-holiday window when this show is at its most useful. Late November is when collectors start buying gifts and dealers start clearing inventory before year-end, and the coin-and-card pairing that defines this monthly event means you can knock out a graded rookie card and a silver dollar for two different people on the same lap of the room.
About forty tables split between the two hobbies, with cards weighted toward sports. Baseball carries the deepest card inventory, spanning vintage Topps and Bowman, mid-century stars, extensive 1970s and 1980s material for set builders, team lots, and modern MLB rookies with numbered parallels and on-card autographs. Football is the busiest category in late November, offering NFL rookie patch autographs, Prizm, Optic and Select parallels and vintage stars, while basketball tracks the NBA season. Hockey, UFC, boxing and soccer each hold table space. Graded slabs from PSA, SGC and BGS fill locked cases, sealed wax is available from multiple dealers, and bargain boxes sit under nearly every table. Pokemon leads the trading card game presence with some Magic: The Gathering and Yu-Gi-Oh! alongside. The coin half of the room carries US type coins, silver and gold bullion, PCGS and NGC graded slabs, paper currency, tokens and estate jewelry. Memorabilia, comics and hobby supplies round things out.
Hours run 9:00 AM to 2:30 PM, one Saturday window. Admission has historically been free or a small door fee at this show, though aggregators currently list the price as unconfirmed, so bring a few dollars in case. There is no advance ticketing and no early-buyer tier, and children are welcome with an adult.
The DoubleTree by Hilton Phoenix North is at 10220 N Metro Parkway East, directly off Interstate 17 at Peoria Avenue in the Metrocenter corridor. Parking is free in a large surface lot, and the ballroom is fully climate controlled with level access. Hotel ballrooms bring two advantages collectors tend to appreciate only after they have shopped in a gymnasium: even overhead lighting that makes inspecting raw card surfaces and centering genuinely possible, and carpet underfoot for a five-hour day on your feet.
The audience is a good mix of set builders, vintage collectors, coin collectors and local dealers trading among themselves. It is also a friendly newcomer show, because the dealer base is largely composed of long-time Arizona sellers who will explain grading, population reports and what actually drives value rather than just quoting a price. Sharp buyers should watch the structural quirk of mixed shows: dealers whose primary expertise is numismatics sometimes price inherited cardboard well below market.
Tips: get there near the 9:00 AM open, since the freshest material moves within the first ninety minutes. Bring cash, which earns real discounts from dealers avoiding processing fees. Carry a want list with ceiling prices, plus sleeves and top loaders for raw pickups. If you are shopping for gifts, graded slabs make the easiest presentation. If you are selling, sort by sport and era before you arrive and be prepared to name a number.
The next date at this venue is December 19, 2026.
