The Sports Card, Pokemon & Collectibles Show comes to the Gaithersburg DoubleTree Hotel on Sunday, June 28, 2026, bringing a quality hotel-ballroom card show to the Montgomery County suburbs northwest of Washington, DC. Presented by Tidewater Cards & Collectibles, this is a well-run, collector-friendly gathering that draws dealers from across the DMV for a relaxed Sunday of buying, selling, and trading in a comfortable, climate-controlled setting.
The vendor floor covers the full breadth of the hobby. Sports card dealers bring deep inventory across MLB, NBA, NFL, NHL, UFC, boxing, and soccer — vintage Topps, Bowman, and Fleer, 1980s and 1990s wax-era boxes, and a wall of modern Panini Prizm, Donruss Optic, Select, Mosaic, and Topps Chrome, with prospect-rich Bowman Chrome for the rookie hunters. Washington Nationals, Commanders, Capitals, and Wizards collectors will find local-team material throughout. On the trading card side, expect Pokemon singles and sealed product from vintage WOTC through the newest Scarlet & Violet sets, plus Magic: The Gathering, Yu-Gi-Oh!, One Piece, and Lorcana. Locked cases display graded PSA, BGS, SGC, and CGC slabs, and you will also find non-sport cards, comics, autographed memorabilia, sealed wax, Funko Pops, and supplies like sleeves, top loaders, and binders.
This is a single-day show running from 9:00 AM to 3:00 PM, an easy Sunday window whether you are a dedicated buyer or browsing with the family. Admission is $5 at the door, an easy value for a hotel show of this quality, and the format is welcoming to collectors of every level and budget. The DoubleTree ballroom setting means comfortable space, good lighting for inspecting cards, and an easy layout to navigate.
The Gaithersburg DoubleTree Hotel is located at 620 Perry Parkway, Gaithersburg, MD 20877, just off I-270 in upper Montgomery County. Free on-site parking is available, and the location is an easy drive from Rockville, Germantown, Frederick, and the wider DC suburbs, with abundant nearby dining along the I-270 corridor for a lunch break before or after the show.
Who should attend? This show fits everyone — families introducing kids to the hobby, casual collectors browsing for fun, set builders chasing specific cards, vintage diggers, modern flippers, prospect hunters, and Pokemon and TCG fans. The modest admission and welcoming, community feel make it especially approachable for first-timers, while the consistent depth of inventory keeps experienced Montgomery County collectors coming back to each date Tidewater runs.
To get the most out of your visit, arrive near the 9:00 AM open for first access to fresh inventory and the best deals before the popular tables thin out. Bring cash for the smoothest transactions, with Venmo or Zelle as a backup since many dealers accept digital payment, and carry a sorted want list with target prices so you can move efficiently across the room. Pack penny sleeves, top loaders, and a slab case to protect your pickups, and a trade binder if you like to deal.
