Hawaii Shows brings Pokemon, Sports Cards & More back to the Ala Moana Hotel at 410 Atkinson Drive on Sunday, November 29, 2026. Landing on the Sunday of Thanksgiving weekend, this edition of the monthly Hawaii Shows series is the island's biggest single-day card show of the holiday kickoff, and it returns to the venue where the September edition packed more than 100 vendor tables across the Hibiscus Ballroom and Garden Lanai.
The series name is a fair description of the floor. Pokemon vendors bring modern chase cards, Japanese imports, sealed product, and graded vintage from PSA and CGC, with plenty of gift-ready ETBs and collection boxes for the season. Sports card dealers bring NFL rookies in midseason, NBA rookies a month into their careers, MLB vintage and offseason bargains, NHL, and UFC, with particular strength in Hawaii-connected athletes. The more section covers One Piece, Yu-Gi-Oh!, Magic: The Gathering, Lorcana, Dragon Ball, comics, Funko Pops, memorabilia, and vintage toys. Some vendors offer grading submission drop-off, which is convenient for anyone who wants cards back before the new year.
Hawaii Shows editions at the Ala Moana Hotel have run 10:00 AM to 5:00 PM with $5 admission and children 12 and under free, and the September show included a free Quest scavenger game with prizes for all attendees. The organizer had not yet posted the exact hours, admission, and activities for the November date at the time of listing; confirm on the Hawaii Shows Instagram or the hawaiicardshows.com listing.
The Ala Moana Hotel is directly beside Ala Moana Center and a short walk from the beach park. Parking is available in the hotel garage at event rates, and the Ala Moana Center garages next door offer free parking with a short walk; expect the mall lots to be busy on Thanksgiving weekend, so arrive early. The Hibiscus Ballroom is on the hotel's second floor, with the Garden Lanai as an adjoining covered outdoor terrace. Ala Moana Center's food court and restaurants are steps away.
With a 100-table footprint, the show suits everyone from families and first-timers to serious dealers. It is large enough to fill a day but organized enough to move through efficiently. Holiday shoppers will find sealed product and graded cards at every price point, and the low admission keeps it accessible for families with visiting relatives.
Tips: arrive at or before opening for the shortest line and best selection, bring cash even though most dealers accept cards, keep a want list, and use the Quest card if offered to plan a route through both rooms. The last hour of the show is prime time for deals as vendors begin consolidating.
