The NOVA TCG Exchange Cardshow returns to the Marriott at Fair Oaks in Fairfax on Sunday, November 15, 2026, just two weeks after the series' November 1 date. The show is aimed at Northern Virginia players and collectors who want a dedicated space to buy, sell, and trade sports cards, Pokémon, and other trading card games, and the two-week cadence means dealers have time to restock between events.
The show is described as a trading card event featuring sports cards, Pokémon, TCG, and collectibles. Vendors typically bring Pokémon singles and sealed products, Magic: The Gathering cards, Yu-Gi-Oh! singles, One Piece and Lorcana product, and a smaller selection of sports cards. Since this is the second of two November dates, you may find different tables than you saw on the first, and dealers may have adjusted their prices based on how the previous event went. Vendor counts are not confirmed (VERIFY).
Hours are 10:00 AM to 4:00 PM. Admission has not been confirmed on the listing (VERIFY), so contact the organizer or check the event page for updates.
The venue is the Marriott at Fair Oaks in Fairfax, VA, near Fair Oaks Mall, I-66, and the Fairfax County Parkway. Hotel parking is normally available on site, but confirm any fees. The area is well served by restaurants, and hobby shops such as Gaming Giant and TCG Village are close enough to visit in the same trip.
This date suits players preparing for holiday gifting, families looking for Pokémon presents, deck builders wanting singles, and collectors of sealed product. Because it is on a Sunday, it also works for people who cannot attend Saturday shows.
Arrive early for the best selection and plan your trades in advance. Bring a want list, a trade binder, cash, and sleeves. If you are buying for a child, ask sellers to recommend age-appropriate products, and check that packs are sealed and in good condition. If you are a seller, price clearly and consider bringing a small stack of bargain items to attract holiday shoppers.
The Marriott at Fair Oaks hosts the series repeatedly, so building familiarity with the venue can make future visits easier.
Holiday shopping is another reason this date matters. Pokémon remains one of the most popular gifts for kids and adults, and buying from a local dealer rather than a big-box retailer often gets you better condition, better prices on singles, and expert advice. If you are unsure which product to buy, ask sellers about elite trainer boxes, booster bundles, or starter decks, and remember to check that sealed items have not been tampered with. Take photos of any expensive purchases and keep receipts in case you need them later.
