The Northwest Valley Coin & Card Show closes out its 2026 run at the DoubleTree by Hilton Phoenix North on Saturday, December 19, 2026. Six days before Christmas, this is the last practical stop on the Phoenix calendar for anyone still shopping, and the coin-and-card pairing that makes this monthly show unusual becomes genuinely useful: graded cards, silver bullion, certified coins and estate jewelry all sit within one lap of the room, which covers a lot of gift list in one trip.
Roughly forty tables split between the two hobbies. On the card side, baseball carries the deepest inventory, spanning vintage Topps and Bowman, mid-century stars, extensive 1970s and 1980s material for set builders, team lots, and modern MLB rookies with numbered parallels and on-card autographs. Football is at its seasonal peak in December, with NFL rookie patch autographs, Prizm, Optic and Select parallels and vintage stars drawing the most traffic, and basketball is active alongside the NBA season. Hockey, UFC, boxing and soccer each hold table space. Graded slabs from PSA, SGC and BGS fill locked cases, sealed wax is available from several dealers, and bargain boxes sit under nearly every table. Pokemon leads the trading card game presence with some Magic: The Gathering and Yu-Gi-Oh! alongside it. The coin half of the room carries US type coins, silver and gold bullion, PCGS and NGC graded slabs, paper currency, tokens and estate jewelry. Memorabilia, comics and hobby supplies fill out the floor.
Hours run 9:00 AM to 2:30 PM, one Saturday window. Admission has historically been free or a nominal door fee at this show, though aggregator listings currently show the price as unconfirmed, so bring a few dollars in case. No advance ticketing and no early-buyer tier, and children are welcome with an adult.
The DoubleTree by Hilton Phoenix North is at 10220 N Metro Parkway East, immediately off Interstate 17 at Peoria Avenue in the Metrocenter corridor. Parking is free in a large surface lot and the ballroom is fully climate controlled with level access. Hotel ballroom lighting is a practical advantage that is easy to underrate: even overhead light makes inspecting raw card surfaces, corners and centering realistic in a way a gymnasium or church hall rarely does.
This show suits set builders, vintage collectors, coin collectors and anyone who prefers a room they can cover completely over a convention hall they can only sample. It is a friendly newcomer show as well, since the dealer base skews toward long-time Arizona sellers who will explain grading, population reports and market drivers rather than just quoting a number. Sharp buyers should watch the structural quirk of mixed shows: dealers whose primary expertise is numismatics sometimes price inherited cardboard conservatively, and December is when that material comes out.
Tips: arrive near the 9:00 AM open, since the freshest inventory moves in the first ninety minutes. Bring cash, which earns real discounts from dealers avoiding processing fees. Carry a want list with ceiling prices, plus sleeves and top loaders for raw pickups. If you are gift shopping, graded slabs and certified coins both present well and need no explanation. If you are selling, sort by sport and era before arriving and be ready to name a number.
Watch the show listing for 2027 dates at this venue, which typically continue on a monthly Saturday schedule.
