Art of Sports KC hosts a sports card show and community trade day in Lenexa on Saturday, September 26, 2026, spotlighting one of the Kansas City metro's dedicated sports card shops as a fall gathering point for local collectors, breakers, and dealers. Anchored by the Art of Sports KC storefront and its extended vendor floor, this one-day Saturday event consistently pulls Kansas City-metro collectors driving in from Lenexa, Overland Park, Olathe, Shawnee, Leawood, Prairie Village, Kansas City KS, downtown Kansas City MO, and across the state line from Independence and Lee's Summit. Late-September timing puts the show right in the heart of football season — Kansas City Chiefs cards are red-hot, the Royals are in their playoff push, and NFL and college rookies are the most-hunted cards on every table.
The floor leans hard into sports. Dealers stock deep MLB, NBA, NFL, NHL, UFC, boxing, MMA, soccer, and college football inventory across every era — vintage Topps, Bowman, Fleer, Goudey, and pre-war tobacco runs from the early 1900s through the 1980s, junk-wax 1990s monster boxes, and modern Panini Prizm, Donruss Optic, Select, Mosaic, Topps Chrome, Bowman Draft, and premium National Treasures, Flawless, and Immaculate. Kansas City Chiefs Patrick Mahomes and Travis Kelce cards, Kansas City Royals Bobby Witt Jr. rookies, Sporting Kansas City, Kansas City Current, Kansas Jayhawks, Kansas State Wildcats, and Missouri Tigers inventory is stocked heavy and is a local signature dealers save for hometown shows. Live group and case breaks run throughout the day, locked cases display PSA, BGS, SGC, and CGC graded slabs, and dealers bring autographed memorabilia, game-used relics, and hobby supplies. Pokémon, Magic: The Gathering, Yu-Gi-Oh!, and One Piece TCG dealers round out the floor for TCG collectors.
Doors open at 10:00 AM CDT and run through 5:00 PM CDT — seven hours of trading, breaking, and hanging out with the local hobby crowd. Admission is free or low-cost at the door depending on the final setup, with kids 12 and under always admitted free. There is no formal VIP early-entry; the door open is the door open for everyone. Live breaks, raffles, and hit-of-the-day giveaways run throughout the day, and the shop's in-house grading submission service is on hand for collectors who want to send cards off for PSA, SGC, or CGC grading.
Art of Sports KC is located in the Lenexa area of Johnson County, minutes off Interstate 35 and Interstate 435 with quick access from 87th Street Parkway and the College Boulevard corridor. The space is climate-controlled, ADA-accessible, and laid out with wide aisles, and the surrounding Lenexa and Overland Park dining makes a mid-show break easy. Free parking is plentiful in the on-site lot.
This show fits every collector type — first-timers, families, Chiefs and Royals fans, casual collectors, modern flippers, breakers, prospect hunters, and vintage hunters. For the best experience, arrive near the 10:00 AM open for first dibs on fresh inventory, bring cash plus Venmo, Zelle, and PayPal backups, and carry a sorted want list. Pack penny sleeves, top loaders, and a hard-sided slab case.
