The Sports Card & TCG Show in Clear Brook, Virginia, takes place on Saturday, October 17, 2026, at the Stonewall District Ruritan Club just north of Winchester. Promoted by Doughboyz Promotions, it brings free-admission card collecting to the northern Shenandoah Valley, giving collectors from the Winchester area, the Route 11 corridor, and the far western edge of the Washington region a local show without a trip to the Beltway.
Doughboyz Promotions is known for community-oriented shows that mix sports cards and trading card games, and this event follows that formula. Look for baseball, basketball, football, and hockey singles, along with Pokémon cards, sealed packs, and other TCG product from area dealers. Small-town shows often turn up surprising finds in dollar boxes and older collections, and sellers here tend to be hobbyists who enjoy talking cards as much as selling them.
The show runs from 9:00 AM to 3:00 PM and admission is free. Table counts have not been published (VERIFY), so expect a modest room where you can complete a full walk-through in an hour or two and still have time to circle back to favorite tables.
The venue is the Stonewall District Ruritan Club, 136 Ruritan Way, Clear Brook, VA. Ruritan clubs are community halls, and this one sits in a rural setting with surface parking typically available on the grounds. From Winchester it is a short drive up Route 11, and from Northern Virginia it is roughly an hour and a half via I-66 and I-81, so a card run can double as a fall foliage trip into the Valley.
This event is a good fit for local families, budget collectors, kids starting their first collections, and anyone who prefers a relaxed pace to a crowded convention. It is also worth a look for dealers who want to reach customers in the Winchester and Frederick County market.
Because admission is free, spend your budget on cards. Arrive early for the best selection, bring cash in small bills, and carry a want list. Ask about bundle discounts and be ready to trade duplicates, since local shows are often friendlier to swaps than large conventions. If you are driving in from a distance, consider pairing the trip with lunch in downtown Winchester or a stop at an orchard.
Doughboyz Promotions posts show updates through its website and social channels, and the listing on the Mid-Atlantic Show DMV calendar has the latest information.
Rural community-hall shows have a character all their own. The Ruritan tradition is service to the local community, and events held in these halls usually feel like gatherings of neighbors rather than commercial trade fairs. That often translates into fair pricing, patient conversation, and the kind of estate-sale surprises collectors love, such as a shoebox of 1980s baseball cards or a binder of early Pokémon that a family finally decided to sell. If you are traveling from Northern Virginia, bring a cooler in the car for any sealed product, and consider making the drive along Route 11 for a scenic return trip.
Small shows like this one thrive on repeat customers, so if you enjoy the day, introduce yourself to the promoter and dealers. Regulars often hear about upcoming dates first and can point you toward other shows in the Shenandoah Valley.
