The Bloomington Armory Sportscard & Sports Collectible Show is back on Saturday, June 20, 2026 for another edition of the south metro's go-to monthly card show. If you missed the May date, this is your next chance to dig through tables of fresh inventory just minutes from Minneapolis. The Armory show has earned a loyal following for its honest pricing, friendly dealers, and no-pressure atmosphere — exactly what a local card show should be.
Sports cards lead the way. Dealers stock MLB, NBA, NFL, NHL, UFC, boxing, and soccer across every era — vintage Topps, Bowman, and Fleer, 1980s and 1990s wax, and modern Panini Prizm, Donruss Optic, Select, Mosaic, and Topps Chrome, with deep Bowman Chrome prospect inventory for rookie hunters. Minnesota-team collectors will find Twins, Vikings, Timberwolves, and Wild cards throughout, and locked cases display graded PSA, BGS, SGC, and CGC slabs. Plenty of tables also carry Pokemon and other trading card games, sealed wax, autographed memorabilia, game-used relics, and the supplies — sleeves, top loaders, binders — you need to protect everything you buy.
The show runs Saturday from 9:00 AM to 4:00 PM with free admission, so it is an easy, budget-friendly outing whether you are a serious buyer or just browsing with the family. With around 60 dealer tables, the room is large enough for variety but small enough to work thoroughly in a couple of hours, leaving time to compare prices and negotiate on the cards you want most.
The Bloomington Armory is located at 3300 West 98th Street, Bloomington, MN 55431, just off I-35W and Highway 494 in the south metro — an easy drive from Minneapolis, Edina, Richfield, Bloomington, and Eagan, and close to the Mall of America. Parking on site is free, the venue is simple to find, and there are plenty of restaurants nearby for a midday break.
Who should attend? Everyone from families and first-time collectors to set builders, vintage diggers, modern flippers, prospect hunters, and TCG fans. The free admission and welcoming, community-driven feel make the Armory show especially approachable, while the consistent depth of inventory keeps experienced collectors returning month after month. Note that June 20 is a busy weekend on the Twin Cities calendar, so plan your day if you want to hit more than one event.
To get the most out of your visit, arrive at 9:00 AM for first crack at fresh inventory and the best deals before the popular tables thin out. Bring cash for the smoothest transactions, with Venmo or Zelle as a backup since many dealers accept digital payment. Carry a sorted want list with target prices, and pack penny sleeves, top loaders, and a slab case to protect your pickups. Bring a trade binder if you want to move duplicates and upgrade.
For confirmed dates, table availability, and any last-minute changes, contact organizer Dave Bonde at (651) 338-1539. The Bloomington Armory show runs on a recurring monthly Saturday schedule through 2026, so there is almost always another date a few weeks out if this one does not fit your calendar.
