This was our first proper event, and honestly, it set the tone for everything that’s come after.

We did both days of the show:

Day One: Coach Lane Campus Sports Centre, Northumbria Uni

Day Two: Sport Central, Northumbria Uni

The show had a bit of everything! slab sellers, binder traders, sealed product stalls, custom artists, and collectors just hanging out and showing off what they pulled. The vibe was spot on: friendly, busy, and full of people who genuinely love the hobby.

For us, this show wasn’t just a stall. It was the foundation of what Tyneside TCG is becoming, a community-first brand!

We met loads of great people, traded some big cards, and came away with proper connections, not just sales.

It gave us:

A solid start

A clearer idea of who we are

And the confidence to keep going

And a massive thank you to Ash & John for giving us a shot.

Really appreciate you both taking a chance on us at our first event, it meant a lot.

We couldn't have done it without Liam who owns Geekiam Collectables over in Birtley too!

Or without OREA from Tynemouth Market

You guys were valued very much with all the help and advice you gave us! I wont ever forget your generosity!
