Long Island TCG Show is a celebration of all things “Trading Card Games”, or TCG for short! And on February 17, 2024 popular sets like Pokemon, Magic: The Gathering, Yu-Gi-Oh, Digimon, Weiss Schwarz, and Disney Lorcana could all be found under one roof at the Hilton in Melville, NY. Over 100 tables of vendors, artists, and voice actors were set up for the show which ran from 11am-6pm (with Early Bird entry at 10am).
Fans of all ages were shopping for raw singles, sealed packs & boxes, graded cards, and even trading card supplies like sleeves & toploaders. It was an absolutely incredible selection of rarities, oddities, and commons that’ll be sure to satisfy any kind of TCG collector! Not to mention opportunities to trade with other attendees or the vendors as well, who are often collectors themselves:
