Card Show Weekend Preview May 8 to 10: Atlanta, Belton, OC Card Fest, and a Stacked Saturday Across the Country
The May 8 to 10 weekend brings the Cards & More Tour to Atlanta, ATX North in Belton, and dozens of Saturday shows from Santa Ana to Miami. Here is what to track on the floor and where the value is.
A Coast-to-Coast Card Show Weekend
The May 8 to 10 weekend is shaping up as one of the busier card show stretches of the spring, with major events anchoring Atlanta and Texas, plus dozens of regional shows running across the country on Saturday alone. If you are planning to ship sales, hunt for vintage, or simply walk a floor for the first time, here is what is on tap.
The Anchor Events
Cards & More Tour at Pullman Yards (Atlanta, GA)
Friday through Sunday, the Cards & More Tour rolls into Pullman Yards in Atlanta for a full three-day event. This is one of the larger touring shows of the spring season, with vendor booths spanning sports, TCG, and memorabilia. Atlanta has been a strong card market all year, and the venue itself is one of the better experiences on the circuit.
ATX North Card Show Weekend (Belton, TX)
Saturday and Sunday in Belton, the ATX North weekend pulls dealers from across the I-35 corridor. Texas card shows have been delivering some of the strongest single-show vintage finds of the year, and the ATX network is where a lot of that flows through.
Saturday Regional Shows
Saturday, May 9, is loaded with smaller events worth a stop:
- OC CARD FEST — Sports Cards & TCG Show, Santa Ana, CA, 9:30 a.m. to 2 p.m.
- 365 Collectibles Card Show at Zoo Miami, Miami, FL, 10 a.m. to 3 p.m.
- 417 Trading Card Show, Springfield, MO, 9 a.m. to 4 p.m.
- Slab City Card Show, Columbia, MO, 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.
- Multiple 5 Borough TCG shows across the New York metro
- Weebz & Waifus Mini-Con, Las Vegas, NV, Friday May 8 only, 10 a.m. to 6 p.m.
What to Look For This Weekend
Three storylines worth tracking on the floor:
- Mega box flip activity: 2025-26 Bowman Basketball just dropped at retail today, and dealers will be selling sealed mega and singles all weekend. Watch the Cooper Flagg and Dylan Harper price discovery in real time.
- UEFA Chrome singles: Topps Chrome UEFA Club Competitions also released today, and the early Champions League autograph hits will be on tables by Friday afternoon.
- Vintage Pokemon at the Texas shows: ATX North has been delivering Base Set finds all year, and with vintage prices climbing, sellers are bringing fresh inventory to the floor.
Practical Tips
Bring cash. Almost every dealer takes Venmo or Zelle now, but cash still gets the best deal at the table. Show up early on Saturday for the best vintage selection. And if you are selling, set realistic prices: the market is healthy but not frothy, and dealers walking the floor are looking for inventory at fair, not aspirational, numbers.
The last few weekends have shown that the regional show ecosystem is in great health right now. The big touring events get the press, but the local Saturday shows are where the most consistent value gets traded.
