The Card & Comic Show comes to Shawnee on Saturday and Sunday, October 10–11, 2026, blending trading cards and comic books under one roof at the Heart of Oklahoma Exposition Center. That combination is the draw — most Oklahoma shows pick a lane, and a genuine card-plus-comic floor means you can hunt a graded rookie card and a key Bronze Age issue in the same afternoon. Shawnee sits about forty minutes east of Oklahoma City on Interstate 40, close enough for a metro day trip and far enough that the dealer mix skews toward eastern Oklahoma vendors you will not see at OKC shows.
On the card side, dealers carry MLB, NBA, NFL, NHL, UFC, boxing and soccer inventory across every era: vintage Topps, Bowman, Fleer and Donruss from the 1950s through the 1980s, 1990s junk-wax boxes for volume digging, and modern Panini Prizm, Donruss Optic, Select, Mosaic, Topps Chrome and Bowman Draft, with premium National Treasures, Flawless and Immaculate cards in the cases. Oklahoma Sooners, Oklahoma State Cowboys, Thunder, Chiefs, Cowboys and Rangers material carries local demand, and October football season keeps the gridiron tables busy. Trading card game vendors stock Pokémon singles and sealed from vintage Wizards of the Coast through modern Scarlet & Violet, plus Magic: The Gathering, Yu-Gi-Oh!, One Piece Card Game and Disney Lorcana. On the comic side, expect Golden, Silver, Bronze and Modern Age back-issue boxes, CGC and CBCS graded key issues, first appearances, independent and horror titles, manga, trade paperbacks and original art. Funko Pops, action figures, statues, autographed memorabilia and supplies for both hobbies round out the floor.
Saturday hours run approximately 10:00 AM to 5:00 PM CDT with Sunday running approximately 10:00 AM to 4:00 PM CDT. Admission is low, typically in the five-dollar range for adults with children admitted free alongside a paying adult, paid at the door. Weekend passes are sometimes offered. Expect raffles and door prizes drawn across both days, and cosplay is common though not required.
The Heart of Oklahoma Exposition Center is a large, established fairgrounds venue in Shawnee with free on-site parking, level concrete floors, wide aisles and climate control — comfortable conditions and easy load-in for dealers with heavy comic boxes. It is a straightforward drive east on I-40 from Oklahoma City, Midwest City and Del City, and north from Ada and Seminole.
The crowd here is broad: card collectors, comic readers, families, cosplayers and crossover collectors who buy both. It is a good show for first-timers precisely because the two hobbies share the room — if cards do not hook someone in your group, the comics usually will. Serious comic buyers should treat Saturday morning as essential, since graded keys move fast at shows where the comic dealer count is limited.
For the best experience, arrive at Saturday open, bring cash plus Venmo and Zelle, and carry want lists for both hobbies. Bring penny sleeves and top loaders for cards, bags and boards for comics, and a hard case for slabs. Save Sunday afternoon for negotiating. Watch the Heart of Oklahoma Exposition Center calendar and the show's social pages for vendor previews and confirmed hours.
