The Sports Cards, TCG & Collectibles Show opens the fall collecting season in Northern Virginia on Saturday, October 3, 2026, at the Washington Dulles Marriott Suites in Herndon. Set on the second level of a full-service hotel just off the Dulles corridor, this is a one-day, tabletop-style gathering of local dealers who bring baseball cards, other sports cards, Pokémon product, and general collectibles under one roof. If you live in Loudoun, Fairfax, or Reston and want a comfortable indoor show close to home, this is a convenient place to start your October hunt.
Expect a mix that reflects what the DC-area hobby actually trades in. Sports card tables lean toward baseball, but you will also see basketball, football, and hockey singles, along with rookie cards, inserts, parallels, and sealed packs and boxes. The Pokémon side of the room typically includes raw singles, sleeved binders, booster packs, and collection lots that dealers are eager to move. Additional tables carry general collectibles, so it is worth walking every row before you commit your budget. Dealers here are regional, which means you can compare prices across several tables and often negotiate on multi-card purchases.
The show runs from 9:00 AM to 3:00 PM on Saturday, October 3. Organizers have not yet published a definitive admission price for this listing, so treat the gate fee as unconfirmed (VERIFY) and check the listing or contact the organizer before you go. Because it is a hotel event, you should expect a modest entry fee rather than a large-convention ticket, and children are generally welcome when accompanied by an adult, though you should confirm any age policy ahead of time.
The venue is the Washington Dulles Marriott Suites at 13101 Worldgate Drive, Herndon, VA 20170. The show is located on the hotel's second level, so follow signage from the lobby. Hotel properties in this business park usually offer on-site parking, but confirm current parking charges with the hotel when you arrive. The location is minutes from the Dulles Toll Road, which makes it easy for collectors coming from Reston, Sterling, Chantilly, and Ashburn, and it sits near several other shows the same weekend.
This show suits casual collectors who want to browse without the crush of a giant convention, parents shopping for a young Pokémon fan, and sports card buyers hunting for a specific rookie or a few affordable singles. Serious dealers may want to note that the room is intimate rather than massive, so it is best used to fill specific gaps in a collection or to make trades with regulars.
Arrive fifteen to twenty minutes early for the best selection, since the cleanest singles and the most popular Pokémon pulls tend to move first. Bring cash in small bills, because many dealers prefer it and it helps when negotiating bundles. Carry a written want list, a few top-loaders and penny sleeves, and a phone with recent sold-price data so you can judge a fair deal. Because two other Herndon-area shows land on the same weekend, you can pair this stop with a Sunday event and compare inventory.
