The NOVA TCG Exchange Cardshow lands at the Marriott at Fair Oaks in Fairfax, Virginia, on Sunday, November 1, 2026. Built around trading card games, it is one of a recurring series of shows aimed at Northern Virginia players, collectors, and traders who want a place to buy, sell, and swap. The name emphasizes exchange, which signals a show where trading is as welcome as buying.
The listing describes sports cards, Pokémon, TCG, and collectibles for buyers, sellers, and traders in the Northern Virginia area. Expect Pokémon singles and sealed product, Magic: The Gathering and Yu-Gi-Oh! cards, and newer games such as One Piece and Lorcana, as well as sports cards and general collectibles. A hotel ballroom setting gives dealers room to lay out binders, display cases, and sealed product, and the trading-friendly mood makes this a good place to move duplicates. The vendor count has not been confirmed (VERIFY).
Hours are 10:00 AM to 4:00 PM on Sunday, November 1. Admission is unconfirmed on the listing, so check with the organizer before you go (VERIFY). Because it is a Sunday event, many collectors combine it with Saturday shows elsewhere in the region.
The venue is the Marriott at Fair Oaks in Fairfax, VA, close to Fair Oaks Mall, I-66, and the Fairfax County Parkway. Hotel parking is typically on site, but ask about rates and validation. Gaming Giant, a hobby shop, is very close to the area, and TCG Village in Chantilly is a short drive, so you can add shop visits to your day. Fairfax is easy to reach from Centreville, Oakton, Vienna, and Manassas.
This show suits TCG players who want to trade, families with young Pokémon fans, deck builders, collectors of sealed product, and anyone who prefers a later start on Sunday. Newcomers should feel welcome because trading events tend to encourage conversation and shared knowledge.
Bring a trade binder organized by game and set, plus a want list. Know current market prices so you can negotiate fairly. Arrive early if you are looking for popular singles or sealed product, and bring cash and a card-payment option. Protect your cards with sleeves and a sturdy deck box, and consider bringing a folding tote for playmats and accessories.
The NOVA TCG Exchange series also lists shows on November 15, December 6, and December 20, plus dates in January and February 2027, so if you cannot make this date you have plenty of options.
A few practical tips for trading: agree on a price source before you start, such as a recent TCGplayer market average, and stick with it. Keep high-value cards in protective sleeves and toploaders while they are in your binder, and never leave a binder unattended on a table. If you are new to trading, start with small swaps until you get a feel for pricing, and remember that friendly dealers are usually glad to explain how they value a card.
