so when is it?

Best Flippin' Card Show, famously known in the Boston area hosting events from Worcester to Greater Boston, is finally coming to Pennsylvania in September 2025! Our roots began in PA years ago, going to shows in the Reading area as a young child. The underserved Philly TCG market needed a show that catered to fans of the genre, so we decided to head down to the Greater Philly Expo Center in Oaks, PA on Sunday, September 7th, 2025....for the first event of its kind. Check below for more info on our pre-event night on Sept 6th, as well.
Etiam leo tortor finibus vel tellus a consectetur.
but wait, there is more!
There will be an entirely FREE event the night prior, on September 6th. Join us at the Work Horse Brewery in King of Prussia on 9/6 from 4:30 - 9:30 for a special meet & greet with vendors, some tables set up for people to sell cards, and an official trade night prior to kicking off the event on Sunday! Come for the food & drink but stay for the delcious cardboard. Even though it's held at a brewery, it *IS* made to be kid friendly so don't forget to bring them along to also have some fun. We have rented out a large event space inside the brewery that also leads out to the open patio. The entire area will hold more than 500 people and it's ours for the weekend night, so let's fill it up.

Frequently asked questions

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 ONLY Pokemon/TCG cards plus some really cool Pokemon artists along with side items like plushies, figurines, etc. We hope to bring you 300+ tables of vendors, space to relax & trade, and even play tournaments if you so choose.
when does the fun take place?
Word on the street is, it's going to be on Sunday, September 7th in the year of our Charizard, 2025. The full event runs from 9 AM - 5 PM. We will also be holding a special pre-event that begins in the afternoon of Saturday, September 6th. Come celebrate all things TCG at the large space inside a brewery dedicated to all Pokemon and other gaming fans. Buy/sell/trade with other great people from all around the northeast, if not the country.
where do i need to go?
Well, if you want to be one of the cool people, we are beginning the festivities at the Workhorse Brewing Company in King of Prussia, PA with an all-ages event at 4:30 PM on Saturday. Then on Sunday, the main event takes place at the Greater Philadelphia Expo Center in Oaks, PA inside the 52,000 square feet of Hall C. The Expo Center has a massive parking lot, just make sure you are parking on the Hall C side.
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, 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.
how much are you charging me?
General Admission doors open at 10 AM on Sunday and for all those attendees 13 years of age and up, the cost is $15. You can buy tickets in advance or pay at the door via cash or credit. Either way, you're always paying $15 as we don't tack on those annoying fees. For those who want a more premium experience, look for more information on our VIP premium package soon. We don't skimp on VIP's. They come with everything from one hour early entry to get the best early deals to sealed Pokemon packs, and surprise singles worth up to $300!
got any of them hotel rooms?
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. Or you can go with our hotel partner for the weekend over at Tru by Hilton in Audubon, PA. The discount link provided here has rooms starting at just $129/night, where you can book the Saturday night of September 6th. It's under 10 minutes from the convention center (the hotels nearest the CC were long sold out a year in advance for another event taking place).
so how do i vend?
A link will become available to the public around June, leading vendors to a particular table for purchase through our platform partner, On Treasure. Table prices will be tiered based on their location from the main entrance of the convention center. We expect 8 ft. tables to begin around $85 for the day, inviting new vendors to those that have been in the game for several years.
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. There will be areas where cards are sold along with all other types of secondary products, as mentioned above. Please choose the appropriate area based on what you sell from the map software.
where can i buy things?
Tickets to get into the event, once available, will be sold through our trusted hobby event partner, On Treasure. Vendor tables will be sold through On Treasure, as well. They may go on sale around the same time, which is estimated to be in late May or early June. Sponsors who are interested can contact us directly via info@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 with red carpet.
what kind of famous people can i meet?
We are diligently working on an amazing lineup of some of your favorite TCG voice artists. The expectation is to have on hand 5-7 of everyone's favorite character to sign your own memorabilia or photos provided by the artist themselves. Come out and have excellent conversations or just take photos with the most respected names in the TCG industry.
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 want to bring several activities for kids to keep them busy. Look for "tattoo" artists, photo ops with their favorite Pokemon characters, video games, and treasure hunts. More information will be released as the event nears, but the ultimate goal is to always make our events super kid friendly. And all activities will be included with admission.
i love to play tcg's, what are you doing for me?
The goal is to hold several tournaments throughout the day, including from companies you may have never heard of that are teaching players their new game. Pokemon, MTG, Lorcana, and One Piece tournaments ranging in small buy-ins to $50+ may take place at some point during the day. Please be patient with us so we can give you the final details as the date approaches.

who we are and what you are in for

Hi! We are The Best Flippin' Card Show. By the time September 2025 rolls around, we will have had more than 60 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' TCG Shows already serves up the LARGEST events in all of New England and those have capped at 150 tables. It was simply time to go to more than 250 tables. Pokemon and the TCG market overall is having a time right now. Philadelphia is skipped over by the largest TCG focused events on their annual tour. We wanted to marry our experience with that of the passionate collectors that may live within an hour or so of the Greater Philadelphia Convention Center. We toured Hall C and loved what we saw. Here is a photo to the right of the inside and the 50,000 sq. ft. of floor plan we have access to where the event will officially take place. As of this writing, we are still envisioning what will go into the blank canvas provided by the convention center.
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

30K+

This number grows larger by the month. Our first event ever only had 200 attendees but some we have thrown have 10x'ed that number per day. Our events have ranged from 50 tables to up to 250+ tables and hundreds of card slingers involved.
Vendors entrusting us

300+

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

$25k

The area we pride ourselves on the most is maximizing the value created just for attending our events. With more than 200 winners and 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.

join us on sunday, september 7th with 250+ tables of your favorite tcg companies and vendors. this is one not to be missed!
