Nassau Coliseum
1255 Hempstead Tpke
Uniondale, NY 11553
The Long Island TCG Show is a major regional convention for Trading Card Game (TCG) enthusiasts, collectors, and players. While it focuses heavily on popular games like Pokémon, Magic: The Gathering, and Yu-Gi-Oh!, it also covers newer titles like Lorcana and One Piece.
Key Features of the Event
Massive Marketplace: The main "Show" (typically held at the Nassau Coliseum) features around 400 vendor tables where you can buy, sell, and trade vintage and modern cards.
Marketplace vs. Main Show: They also host smaller, more frequent "Marketplace" events (often at the Hilton Long Island in Melville), which are more intimate and feature 100+ vendors.
Celebrity Guests: The main events often include voice actors and artists from the TCG and anime world for autographs and photo ops.
Tournaments & Panels: Beyond trading, the show hosts competitive tournaments, Q&A panels, and community activities.
