SuperCon: Queens returns to the Queens College campus on Sunday, August 9, 2026, from 10:00 AM to 3:30 PM, continuing its run as New York City's original card show. SuperConNYC has been supporting the city's collectors since 2013, long before the modern card boom, and its monthly Queens editions at the Q Tip Dining Hall (65-30 Kissena Boulevard, Flushing) have become the most dependable date on the NYC hobby calendar — a true all-genre show where Pokemon binders sit next to vintage baseball slabs.
The floor covers the whole hobby. On the TCG side, expect deep Pokemon inventory from vintage holos to modern chase cards, plus One Piece, Riftbound, Magic: The Gathering, Yu-Gi-Oh!, and Lorcana singles, slabs, and sealed product. Sports card dealers bring MLB, NBA, NFL, NHL, and soccer cards across every era — modern rookies and numbered parallels, graded vintage stars, and dollar boxes for patient diggers. Sealed wax, supplies, memorabilia, Funko Pops, and comics round out the tables, and many vendors actively buy and trade, so collections and trade binders are welcome on the floor.
The 10:00 AM to 3:30 PM window makes this an efficient half-day show: arrive at open, work the room, and still have your Sunday afternoon. Admission is collector-friendly, typically a modest door price with kids free or discounted — check the SuperConNYC listing or socials for this edition's exact pricing and any early-entry option before you go. The dining hall setting is air-conditioned, spacious, and easy to navigate even at peak crowd.
Venue logistics are a highlight. Queens College offers free campus parking near the dining hall plus street parking around the perimeter — practically unheard of for a New York City event — and the campus is reachable by the Q25, Q34, and Q64 buses connecting from the 7 train at Flushing-Main Street. The surrounding Kissena Boulevard and Main Street corridors offer some of the best cheap eats in the city, from dumplings to halal carts, for a post-show meal.
SuperCon works for everyone: families get an affordable, manageable show with plenty for kids; casual collectors get dollar boxes and approachable dealers; competitive TCG players get singles for every format; and serious collectors get a dealer pool that has been refined over more than a decade of monthly shows. First-timers could not ask for a better introduction to the New York card scene — the show's size is substantial without being overwhelming.
Veteran tips: get there for the 10:00 AM open, because the best deals and freshest inventory move in the first hour of a five-and-a-half-hour show. Bring cash, since most tables negotiate harder for it, and carry a want list with target prices. Do a full lap before spending big — duplicate inventory across tables means comparison shopping pays. If you are trading, sleeve and organize your binder; well-presented cards get more attention.
