ABOUT US
Why We Started Beltway
For us, organizing events isn't just about logistics — it's about crafting experiences that feel like home for collectors of every kind. Whether you're flipping through binders of vintage treasures or diving into the latest TCG releases, we want you to feel the buzz, the belonging, and the excitement that comes with being part of a community that truly gets it.
From there, came the inspiration to start Beltway Card Shows. We strive to create the best in-class, curated events that elevate the card collecting experience - by connecting communities, celebrating local card vendors and collectors, and growing the hobby for everyone.
Vision
To become the premier, trading card show in the DMV and Mid-Atlantic Region by providing an innovative, best-in-class event experience to attendees and vendors while also promoting community building and outreach through our love of the hobby.
Mission
To foster a thriving card collecting community by elevating the trading card scene - primarily by hosting inclusive, engaging, and well-organized events that cater to everyone.
Whether you're a seasoned dealer, a weekend hobbyist, or a curious first-timer, their goal is to make everyone feel like they belong in this vibrant world of ink, cardboard, and camaraderie. With each event, we want to amplify passion, supporting local vendors, and helping new collectors discover the thrill of the chase.
Meet the Team
Introducing the minds behind Beltway Card Shows:
As collectors ourselves, we’ve spent years chasing the thrill of the perfect pull, building connections with fellow hobbyists, and witnessing how card culture brings people together.
That energy? It's what drives us to create the best card shows around.
