The November Poke Craft & Card Show opens Saturday, November 21, 2026 at 757 Cards & Cabinets in Newport News, and it is the last full weekend show at the shop before the holiday season takes over. Expect the busiest floor of the fall. Gift shoppers turn up looking for sealed product, collectors turn up looking to convert cards into holiday spending money, and the combination makes for an unusually active room where things actually change hands.
Pokemon anchors the show. Vendors bring sealed booster boxes, elite trainer boxes, collection tins and blister packs from current sets, plus back stock from earlier releases that retail has stopped carrying. Singles range from bulk commons priced by the hundred through alt arts, special illustration rares and graded slabs from PSA, CGC, BGS and SGC. Vintage WOTC-era cards appear in cases and Japanese imports show up on at least one table. Beyond Pokemon there is Magic: The Gathering with commander singles and sealed product, Yu-Gi-Oh! staples and structure decks, One Piece, Lorcana, Digimon and Dragon Ball Super. Sports dealers cover baseball, football, basketball and hockey across modern and vintage, with football and basketball drawing the most interest in late November.
Saturday hours run 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM. Admission is free and parking is free, with no advance ticketing and no early-access tier. Children are welcome at no charge, and several vendors deliberately stock dollar boxes and repack packs so younger collectors can buy something with their own money.
The shop at 6 Elmhurst Street operates as a shop during the event. Supplies are on the shelf if you need sleeves, top loaders, binder pages or a storage box, and the counter is open for buying and selling. If you are considering selling a collection before the holidays, you can get a shop quote and separately shop it to individual vendors in the same trip, which is the fastest way to learn what your material is genuinely worth.
Who should attend: holiday gift shoppers buying sealed product below retail scalper pricing, Peninsula collectors who want a local option, families out for a free Saturday, competitive players restocking staples, and sellers looking for competing offers. Newcomers are well served here because the room is small enough for real conversation with a dealer.
Tips: arrive at opening, since November Saturdays draw the biggest crowds and the best sealed deals are gone by late morning. Bring cash in small bills. Keep a want list organized by set and card number. Ask about bundle pricing before buying multiple items from one vendor. Take a full lap before spending, because identical sealed product often sits on three tables at three prices. If you are buying gifts, check that sealed boxes are factory sealed and ask the vendor directly about the product source. If you are selling, sort and price your material in advance and know your recent sold comps.
