Collector’s Paradise New Jersey is a brand new collectibles show that debuted January 11, 2025 at the DoubleTree by Hilton Hotel in Fort Lee, NJ. With the aim to make an affordable event for both attendees & vendors, this $5 “Winter TCG Extravaganza” ran from 9am-5pm, with free admission for children under 8, door prizes, and free booster packs for the first 40 attendees… what a way to kick things off in north Jersey!
Hosted by vendors themselves, Matt from Fortuitous TCG & Ro from Ro Collectibles recruited over 100 of the area’s best vendors, filling up the hotel’s meeting rooms with Pokemon cards, plushies, Funko Pops, video games & consoles, One Piece TCG & other Bandai properties, custom crystals, baked treats, art prints, and even comic book artist sketch cards by AJ Morrone. If you’ve been waiting for a card show closer to you that has it all, then this is it:
You’ll find familiar vendor names like Sholl Poke, Daedalus TCG, Ditto Dudes, Robby Rocket, Surga Collective, Retro Pete, and dozens of others selling all kinds of sealed, loose, and graded Pokemon products – perhaps something you’ve been looking for, or even something you’ve never seen before! From elusive Scarlet & Violet 151 singles to hard-to-find Japanese Terastal Festival booster boxes (ahead of next week’s Prismatic Evolutions release), Collector’s Paradise has got you covered:
This particular area of New Jersey doesn’t have shows like this so it was exciting to see hundreds upon hundreds of fans filing in to experience the very first Collector’s Paradise, which truly made it feel like a community event… not to mention in a town that has so many great dining options for a post-show meal!
And they’re just getting started! Matt & Ro hope to offer an even wider selection of vendors next time, which will once again be at the Fort Lee DoubleTree on March 9, 2025. Come check out what Collector’s Paradise NJ is all about! And in the meantime, here’s what the debut show was like:
