Where there any pokemon vendors at the 2024 NSCC?

I know it's a sports card show and I know there wasn't much pokemon at 2023 in Rosemont...but wondering if there was any last year.

Would be a good way to get my son to come with

I remember seeing maybe a dozen tables with a big volume of Pokémon/TCG last year. But there were also a number of dealers with maybe half of a showcase of Pokémon amongst their sports stuff. So it wasn’t plentiful but was there. Curious with the current boom if it might look different this year.

That’s probably true

There weren't many last year.

very very few last year. Likely because they cracked down on subleasing table space. Expect very little again this year in the main space.

I bet there are more this year than last or at least more dealers with some. Local shows have had more Pokémon the past 9 months than I can ever remember. This to go along with all Walmart's & Target's being sold out of most Pokémon stuff, while the sports stuff is fully stocked with the exception of Chrome, Prizm & Optic sports stuff.

bet on there being more this year

I hope any/all of them will be exiled upstairs. It's the National SPORTS Collectors Convention NOT National TRADING CARDS Convention. They need to stay in the basement of their grandparents.

Maybe it would help make the show smell a bit better as well.
