Following the success of numerous single-day Long Island TCG Shows and Monthly Marketplace events, LI TCG Show returned bigger & better than ever with its very first 2-day event on November 16 & 17! Fans filed into the Hilton in Melville, NY for a weekend chock-full of experiences like voice actor meet & greets, panels, a Saturday after-party trade night, photos with Pikachu, and, of course, all things TCG (Trading Card Games): tournaments, promo cards, plenty of Pokemon, Magic: The Gathering, Yu-Gi-Oh, One Piece, Lorcana, and more!
This special LI TCG Show didn’t let any space go unused with things to see & do all over the Hilton, from the hotel ballrooms all the way to the outdoor patio… and every hallway in between! Pick up the latest Pokemon set “Surging Sparks” or the new Magic: The Gathering x Marvel Superdrop. Scour endless showcases filled with the hottest singles in the hobby from over 150 vendors like Sholl Poke, NYC Plushie Queen, CollectibleTags, We Break You Buy, Surga Collective, Rare Monopoly, Daedalus TCG, JwongBoutique, and Fine AF Gems, as well as local Long Island shops like “Collector’s Emporium” and “Rip N Ship Arena”.
The show ran from 11am-6pm on Saturday and 11am-5pm on Sunday with VIP entry at 10am on each day, allowing some early birds the chance to score some advance deals & other exclusive perks, too. But not to worry – general admission includes many free events such as raffles, a trading corner, classic console gaming, a cornhole tournament, and Q&A’s with special guests Sarah Natochenny (below), Michaela Jill Murphy, Greg Baldwin, Erica Shroeder, Matthew Sussman, Megan Hollingshead, and Waldo Cabrera.
Hear about the shows that your favorite card games are based on, ask your own questions, and later on swing by the voice actors’ tables for meet & greets where you can get your collectibles autographed, pick up one of their exclusive prints/posters, and maybe even snap a photo with them (prices may vary). What a way to remember the show by! And with autograph verification provided by MAS Authentication, you can certify these signatures for extra peace of mind.
All the while, get some early holiday shopping done at LI TCG Show. Not only is there a plethora of raw & graded cards, sealed product, supplies & accessories, and even uncut sheets, but lots of TCG-related products as well. We’re talking about plushies, figures & statues, acrylic collectibles, enamel pins & keychains, apparel, crocheted toys, stickers & original art, Funko Pops, and some of the coolest 3D printed items you’ll ever see!
This first 2-day Long Island TCG Show was absolutely fantastic, and still it’s only just a preview of what’s to come in 2025 for their even bigger 2-day show at the Nassau Coliseum in Uniondale, NY on May 3 & 4. So get ready & save up, bring cards you’re looking to trade or sell, and maybe warm yourself up with a scaled down version at LI TCG Show’s Monthly Marketplace scheduled for December 28, January 25, February 22, and April 13.
