vendors
Table selection has officially begun! We try and bring you the simplest ways possible to buy tables with an equitable process. Prices are tiered based on location to the entrance, simple as that. All are 8 feet in length by 2.5 feet wide.
Go to our purchase page, select the tables that are not shaded and sold, buy up to five at a time, grab any add-ons and check out, that's it. No hidden fees and you're locked into the location, no promoters playing favorites or vendors greasing pockets for better tables. All tables begin at $125 per day (total of 15 hrs of show floor time over both days) and go up to $225 per day in the front sections.
Still have questions? Contact us through social media DM's, email, or our web form.

so when is it?
Best Flippin' Card Show, famously known in the Boston area hosting events from Worcester to Greater Boston, is coming back to Pennsylvania for the second time Halloween weekend 2026! We are a two headed team with decades of experience in cards.
Our roots began in PA years ago, going to shows in the Reading area as a young child. The underserved Philly TCG market (at the time while planning in 2025) needed a show that catered to fans of the genre. Since then, many TCG only shows have so we decided to move back to what we do best, host "Mixers". This time, it's taking place at the Valley Forge Casino Convention Center on Saturday, October 31st and November 1st, 2026.
who is ready to win some cash?
costume contest announcment
On Saturday at 1 PM, we will be hosting some crazy costume contests on our stage for Halloween and are giving away $1500 in cash prizes for it!
Come decked out in your best outfits because adults will be winning up to $500 and in the kids division (Under 18), they and their parents will be going home with up to $300.
Frequently asked questions (being updated)
What are you?
It's nice to meet you. We are The Best Flippin' Card Show. Known for our first rate sports and trading card game events that continue to grow in size and scope.
This convention sized card show is going to focus on sports cards and Pokemon along with other popular TCG's. We hope to bring you 250+ tables of vendors, space to relax & trade with other like-minded collectors.
when does the fun take place?
Word on the street is, it's going to be on Saturday, October 31s and November 1st, in the year of our Charizard, 2026. The full event runs from 9 AM - 5 PM on Saturday and 9 AM - 4 PM on Sunday.
where do i need to go?
On Saturday and Sunday, the main event takes place at the Valley Forge Casino Event Center located in King of Prussia, PA inside the 26,000 square feet space. The casino has FREE parking for up to 2000 vehicles.
What can i do?
We don't have "card show" in our name for nothing, that is and always will be our main focus of the day. The hope is you love cardboard as much as the millions of others in America who do the same as a beloved hobby.
But from there on out, you can eat/drink within the building from the concession stand at the front of the convention center, have autographs signed by TCG actors, play TCG games, sit down and relax in the "trade zones" with other like-minded fans of your favorite Pokemon sets.
Our goal is to provide an all day experience, we don't want people simply walking around for an hour and leaving. We are an EVENT, not a local 25 table show held at your VFW.
how much are you charging me?
General Admission doors open at 10 AM and for all those attendees 13 years of age and up, the cost is $10. You can buy tickets in advance through our exclusive partner On Treasure or pay at the door via cash or credit. Either way, you're always paying $10 as we don't tack on those annoying fees.
For those who want extremely early access to the vendor floor, you can enter at 9 AM for $20. Each early paying entrant will receive a "Treat Bag" on either day. These are full of goodies for all those purchasing this type of early entry ticket. So quantities are limited.
got any of them hotel rooms?
Until October 8th, the Valley Forge Casino is offering discounted rates on site by visiting this link.
Additionally, attendees can dial in to the call center to make a reservation.Call Center Hours of Operation: Monday through Sunday: 8:00AM - 9:00PM ESTCall Center Reservation Number: 610-354-8118Reservation ID Code BFCJ26C or Group Name Best Flippin Card Show - October 2026
Or you can go and find any of the plethora of hotels around the area, depending on your needs and likes. I'm sure there are plenty of short-term rentals if needed, as well.
so how do i vend?
We have partnered with On Treasure to sell all vendor spots starting at just $125 per day in the back of the convention center and stepped up to cap out at $225 per day. All orders (not per table) come with two vendor badges, purchase additional for a $10 add-on. You can also rent table coverings for $5. We currently do not have any display cases left to rent.
Vendors choose their actual spot and pay for it through the website on a first come first serve basis. Don't forget to create a profile if you are a new user. Many card events are moving to On Treasure so once you have a vendor profile, you can use it forever.
what if i'm a company that doesn't sell actual cards?
We for sure want to talk to you!
Do you sell Pokemon binders or cases and want to match up with the perfect audience for your product? Are you an incredible artist of One Piece fan art and sell your prints? Do you make Piplup trinkets and want other Piplup fans to love them as much as you do?
You will sign up just like any other vendor, based on how much you want to pay for a table. It's ok to be mixed in with card sellers, which will be the majority of vendors on hand. While the event is probably 85% or more cards, we love our "other" categories of TCG goods too!
where can i buy things?
Tickets to get into the event are now live and are sold exclusively through our trusted hobby event partner, On Treasure.
Vendor tables are also sold through the same website.
Sponsors who are interested can contact us directly via craig@flippincardshow.com to discuss the separate sponsorship tiers we have available to you. All sponsor tables come with premium locations inside the event, separated from the main vending floor.
what kind of famous people can i meet?
What's better that those who get millions of views on social media? That's right, Brian Ong is joining us to break dance and sell you some Pokemon grails!
Find Brian's table near the entrance of the event center and maybe you can join him for one of his excellent videos.
i have kids and they get bored easily, how do i keep them busy?
As parents ourselves, kids can only take so much at a card show before they want to leave when you're not done yet.
We are bringing several activities for kids to keep them busy. Look for photo ops with their favorite Pokemon characters like Charizard and other activities soon to be announced! We will have tables and chairs for parents to relax alongside them while they burn off some energy. Remember, kids 12 & under are FREE to enter.
i love to play tcg's, what are you doing for me?
Unfortunately, the Event Center does not have the space to hold a TCG tournament for all of the tables we would like to hold alongside of it.

who we are and what you are in for
Hi! We are The Best Flippin' Card Show. By the time October 2026 rolls around, we will have had more than 100 events under our belt.
Many of those have taken place in a hotel ballroom and a few in minor league ballparks. It was simply time to expand our reach and brand into convention halls. Best Flippin' Card Shows already serves up the LARGEST events in all of New England . It was simply time to go to more than 250 tables. Sports, Pokemon and the TCG market overall is having a time right now. We wanted to marry our experience with that of the passionate collectors that may live within an hour or so of the Greater Philadelphia area to experience another local, large event.
Year founded
2021
The owner has been back into cards for a decade after giving them and the card shows up he attended as a child to then be reintroduced to a long lost love in 2016.
Once the pandemic room limits lifted, we acted immediately and founded Best Flippin Card Promotions LLC in 2021 after a careful amount of planning to ensure a unique and memorable experience for all.
Card lover attendees
40K+
This number grows larger by the month. Our first event ever only had 200 attendees but some we have thrown have 12x'ed that number per day.
Our events have ranged from 50 tables to up to 300+ tables and hundreds of card slingers involved.
Vendors entrusting us
450+
Vendors of all types, with baseball cards more than 100 years old on up to those that have the latest Japanese Pokemon on release day, we cover the entire spectrum at our exclusive events.
We are easy to work with, inclusive, and realize the most important part of a card show is the vendor.
Door Prize Worth
$35k
The area we pride ourselves on the most is maximizing the value created just for attending our events.
With everything from 65" TV's to vintage Pokemon packs worth $600, we try and bring the "wow factor" for simply showing up and getting lucky just by coming to our events.
