The Staten Island Sports Cards & Pokemon Show sets up at Our Lady Star of the Sea, 5371 Amboy Road in the Huguenot section of Staten Island, on Saturday, September 19, 2026, from 9:00 AM to 3:30 PM. Organized by longtime Staten Island promoter Matty Steven, whose hometown shows are a staple of the borough's hobby calendar, this is a parish-hall card show in the classic community mold: local dealers, a family crowd, and an easy Saturday morning for anyone on the South Shore who would rather not cross a bridge to find a show.
The mix is split between sports cards and Pokemon, as the name says. Sports dealers bring baseball, basketball, football, and hockey, with an emphasis on modern rookies, parallels, and graded cards, plus vintage from a few of the veteran tables. Pokemon vendors carry singles, graded slabs, and sealed product across modern and older sets. Some tables round things out with other TCGs, memorabilia, and supplies. Staten Island shows tend to have a strong Yankees and Mets presence, so team collectors do well here.
The show runs a single session from 9:00 AM to 3:30 PM, with the first hour being the busiest for serious buyers. Admission was not published on the event flyer at the time of listing; Matty Steven's Staten Island shows have typically charged a low door fee with kids free, but confirm the current price on the show's Facebook page before you go. This listing should be treated as VERIFY on admission.
Our Lady Star of the Sea is on Amboy Road in Huguenot, on the South Shore. The parish has a large on-site parking lot, which makes driving the easy option; the venue is a few minutes from the Huguenot station on the Staten Island Railway for those coming by transit, and the S78 bus runs along Amboy Road. Amboy Road has delis and pizzerias within walking distance for a lunch break.
Who should attend: Staten Island families looking for a local Saturday activity, South Shore collectors who want a show without the Verrazzano toll, Pokemon-collecting kids and their parents, and sports card traders who like a smaller room where dealers have time to talk. First-timers will find it approachable. The same promoter runs a second Staten Island show on October 17, 2026, at a different venue, so if this date does not work there is another chance within a month.
Tips: arrive at 9:00 AM for the best selection, bring cash, and bring a short want list so the room does not overwhelm a young collector. Trading between attendees is welcome, so a binder is worth carrying. For the latest details, flyer, and any admission updates, check Matty Steven's show pages on Facebook, which is where the organizer posts announcements.
