Johnson City Collectibles Show brings Mt. Silver TCG Con’s broad collecting mix to Johnson City for an October weekend of buying, selling, and trading. The event connects Pokémon, sports cards, and other TCGs with a wider range of collectibles, making it a useful stop for households whose interests stretch across several hobbies.
The setting is The Mall at Johnson City, so this is a mall-based collecting outing rather than a separate convention-center trip. Free admission makes a shorter first visit practical, while the two-day schedule gives you a choice between a Saturday morning start and a Sunday afternoon visit. The important planning detail is that those two days follow different hours.
A Full Day of Cards & Collectibles
The organizer highlights sports cards covering baseball, football, basketball, and more, alongside Pokémon and rare and vintage cards. That combination gives the show a broader focus than a single-game gathering. Someone returning to a childhood collection and someone following current releases can approach the same event with different goals.
The featured category list also includes One Piece, Yu-Gi-Oh!, Magic: The Gathering, Dragon Ball, and Lorcana. These are advertised interests for the event, rather than a guarantee that every seller carries every game. If your visit depends on one particular title or product, check the organizer’s latest information before making a special trip.
Comics, toys, memorabilia, anime, video games, and card supplies extend the event beyond cards alone. Those categories matter if you are attending with someone who enjoys collecting but does not follow the same game or sport. They also explain why the show’s collectibles name fits its advertised scope. Individual selections and availability depend on the sellers participating that weekend.
Buying, selling, and trading are all part of the organizer’s description. If you hope to offer cards, ask a seller whether they are buying or considering trades before unpacking your collection. An advertised trading format creates an opportunity for conversations, but it does not mean every participant accepts the same items or uses the same terms.
More Than Just a Card Show
The most useful feature for planning this occurrence is the split weekend schedule. Saturday runs from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m., while Sunday runs from noon to 6 p.m. Both are local Eastern times. A Sunday morning arrival would be early, and a Saturday evening arrival after the show closes would miss the advertised collecting hours even if other mall businesses remain open.
For navigation, use the mall’s North Roan Street address rather than searching only the show name. The venue’s official website confirms its address and provides shopping and dining information. If you plan to combine the show with another stop inside the mall, check that business’s hours separately from the event schedule.
Before leaving, open the "Official Source" link for current event directions. The venue name establishes the destination, but an entrance or specific show-area instruction can make arrival easier in a mall setting. Allow time to find the collecting area, especially if you have a limited browsing window or are meeting someone there.
A Show for All Levels of Collectors
For a first visit, the advertised mix offers a clear way to choose a starting point: begin with your preferred game, sport, or collectible category, then explore the wider event if time allows. You do not need an interest in every category to make use of a show that spans several of them.
The organizer’s emphasis on both classic sports cards and newer Pokémon releases also makes this a reasonable outing for collectors from different generations. A family can compare interests without needing everyone to pursue the same collection. Free general admission removes the ticket cost from that decision, although purchases remain separate.
Experienced collectors may find the in-person format useful when a decision depends on a card’s actual condition, printing, or edition. Ask to inspect an item before agreeing to a purchase or trade. For advertised rare and vintage material, clarify exactly which version is being offered rather than assuming that similar artwork means an identical card.
If you are interested in selling at the event, distinguish vendor arrangements from visiting as an attendee. The organizer provides a table-contact route, but general admission does not itself reserve selling space. Use the organizer’s profile to check those arrangements before bringing a full sales setup.
