The Ada Sports Card Show takes over the Pontotoc County Agri-plex Convention Center on Saturday, November 14, 2026, bringing a full sports-card floor to south-central Oklahoma. Ada sits about eighty-five miles southeast of Oklahoma City, well outside the metro's usual show circuit, which is exactly what makes this event worth the drive: the dealer roster draws from Ada, Shawnee, Seminole, Durant, Ardmore and the Chickasaw Nation communities, and the inventory that surfaces here has often never been picked over at an OKC or Tulsa show.
As the name says, this one is sports-first. Dealers stock MLB, NBA, NFL, NHL, UFC, boxing, MMA and soccer inventory across every era. Vintage runs go deep — Topps, Bowman, Fleer and Donruss from the 1950s through the 1980s, with pre-war tobacco and Goudey issues turning up in the better cases — and 1990s junk-wax boxes are priced for the kind of patient digging that set builders love. Modern coverage runs through Panini Prizm, Donruss Optic, Select, Mosaic, Topps Chrome, Topps Chrome Update and Bowman Draft, with premium National Treasures, Flawless and Immaculate cards under glass. Mid-November puts football at the front of every table: Oklahoma Sooners, Oklahoma State Cowboys, Dallas Cowboys and Kansas City Chiefs are the local staples, with Thunder basketball inventory climbing as the NBA season gets going and Texas Rangers and Houston Astros baseball holding steady. Graded PSA, BGS, SGC and CGC slabs, autographed memorabilia, signed balls, jerseys and photos, game-used relics and full lines of hobby supplies round out the floor. A handful of tables usually carry Pokémon and other trading card games as well, though sports is unmistakably the focus.
Hours run approximately 10:00 AM to 4:00 PM CST for this single-day show. Admission is inexpensive — generally in the three-to-five dollar range for adults, with children admitted free alongside a paying adult — and is collected at the door with no advance ticketing. Door prizes and raffle drawings are common, and several dealers run pack giveaways for kids.
The Pontotoc County Agri-plex Convention Center is a well-equipped county venue in Ada with free on-site parking, level floors, wide aisles and climate control. It is a straightforward drive from Oklahoma City down Interstate 35 to State Highway 19 or via State Highway 9, roughly ninety minutes, and closer still from Shawnee, Seminole, Sulphur and Tishomingo.
This show suits vintage hunters, set builders, families and dealers looking for fresh regional inventory. The smaller crowd is the real advantage: dealers here will genuinely dig through boxes under the table for you rather than waving at a display case, and that unhurried access is where the finds happen. First-timers do well too — the scale is friendly and the atmosphere is unmistakably small-town Oklahoma.
For the best experience, arrive at opening for first pick, bring cash — it carries real weight at a rural show where card readers are not universal — with Venmo and Zelle as backups, and carry a want list sorted by sport and player. Pack penny sleeves, top loaders and a hard-sided case for slabs. Because it is a one-day show closing at 4:00 PM, make your serious offers by early afternoon. Watch the Agri-plex event calendar and the show's social pages for vendor previews and confirmed hours.
