The team behind the successful Best Flippin' Card Show here in our home town with 80+ events under our management in the Massachusetts area, is heading downtown for the very first time and coming to Hynes Convention Center Hall A on Saturday, May 2nd and Sunday May 3rd. You'll find us inside the 32,000 sq ft convention center and foyer area leading into Hall A. Back Bay is the gem of the city, surrounded by incredible restaurants, hotels, and historic sites. Inside you'll find all kinds of TCG vendors covering around 300 tables so give yourself plenty of time on the day, or even two!
Our special guest voice actor guests situated at the front of Hall A include the following:

Note that 9 AM - 10 AM on both days is for our VIP Flippin' Fans program, general public tickets provide entry from 10:01 - 5:00 (closure is 4 PM on Sunday). You can purchase all types of tickets to "skip the line" here through OnTreasure! We will also accept cash/credit at the door for general admission.&nbsp;General admission single tickets are $25 on Saturday and $20 on Sunday for all those 13 years of age and up, with entry beginning at 10 AM. For those that don't know, Best Flippin' ALWAYS eats processing fees for tickets, meaning what you see as the charge is what you will pay.&nbsp;Kids are always free at Flippin' events but we ask they have a chaperone via a paying adult.
VIP packages are $150 for those entering at 9 AM and are filled with a ton of value! Kids accompanying other VIP's can get in to the event for free that are under 13, however, no children may attend the early hour alone. Not only will you get exclusive access to vendor inventory before the general public, each specially designed VIP package will include things such as random booster packs from Paldea Evolved down to Phantasmal Flames, a specialty VIP badge, an exclusive event pin, front line access to TCG actors, show schwag, sponsor provided items, and other specialty prizes not even announced yet. Most VIP bags will hold Pokemon singles with a ceiling of up to $400! VIP packages will be limited to 200 in total and are only made available here through OnTreasure, unless some remain unsold the morning of the event.
Every entry, whether they are VIP or general admission, is always eligible for our excellent door prizes and you will not need to be present to win. Simply fill out your prize ticket as you come into the venue so you can be entered into our drawings that will take place around 3:30 Sunday. We will be featuring items worth more than $2000 in total up for grabs. Those prizes will include single graded cards, booster boxes, hand made rugs, and a Nintendo Switch 2!
The Best Flippin' TCG Show features some of the best vendors from all over the country, focusing on items for collectors at any budget level, from cards to plushies and original artwork. This event will have lots of free kid activities such as character meet and greets and a kid zone with lawn and video games set up, a Pokemon balloon artist <a href="https://jonahstwisters.com/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">Jonah's Twisters</a>, and Pokemon stencil tattoos from <a target="_blank" href="https://partyfestini.com/" rel="nofollow noopener">Festini</a>. A $70 cash Pokemon tournament will be run by <a target="_blank" href="https://www.instagram.com/professorthomasf/" rel="nofollow noopener">Professor Thomas </a>over two days. This not only gets you entered into the tournament but also gets you early access at 9 AM to the vendor floor both days (sans the VIP swag bag). Food will be on hand on the show floor to feed hungry show goers.
Trade night will be hosted on site where the Pokemon tournament takes place in our foyer. We will have libations and food available for purchase beginning right after 5:00 on Saturday for this amazing event full of even more giveaways brought to you by our trade night hosts, <a target="_blank" href="https://collectibletagsshop.com/" rel="nofollow noopener">Collectible Tags!</a>
