The Clark and Floyd County Sports Card and TCG Show fills the New Albany Indiana Armory on Sunday, August 23, 2026 with a reported 100-plus dealer tables, making it one of the largest single-day hobby gatherings in the Louisville metro outside of the Derby City weekend itself. New Albany sits directly across the Ohio River from downtown Louisville, so despite the Indiana address this is very much a Kentuckiana show — the crowd, the dealers and the inventory all reflect the combined metro rather than either state on its own. A hundred tables in an armory hall is a serious floor, and it is worth planning a proper strategy rather than wandering.
The show is explicitly billed as sports cards and TCG in equal measure, which is less common than it should be and makes it a genuinely good outing for households with mixed interests. On the sports side, dealers stock MLB, NBA, NFL, NHL, UFC, boxing, MMA, soccer and college football across every era: pre-war tobacco issues, 1950s and 1960s Topps and Bowman, 1970s and 1980s Topps, Fleer and Donruss, deep and inexpensive 1990s junk-wax boxes for set builders, and modern Panini Prizm, Donruss Optic, Select, Mosaic, Topps Chrome, Bowman Chrome and Bowman Draft. High-end tables run Topps Dynasty, National Treasures, Flawless and Immaculate, with locked cases of PSA, BGS, SGC and CGC graded material from raw-grade filler to legitimate grail cards. Regional inventory is strong — Louisville Cardinals, Kentucky Wildcats, Indiana Hoosiers, Cincinnati Reds and Bengals, Indianapolis Colts, plus Muhammad Ali boxing memorabilia and Kentucky Derby collectibles. On the TCG side, expect Pokemon singles and sealed from vintage WOTC Base Set, Jungle, Fossil and Team Rocket through modern Scarlet and Violet and Japanese exclusives, Magic: The Gathering Commander and Standard staples, Yu-Gi-Oh!, One Piece TCG, Disney Lorcana, Dragon Ball Z Fusion World, Digimon, Star Wars Unlimited and Flesh and Blood. Autographed memorabilia, vintage comics, Funko Pops and hobby supplies fill out the remaining tables.
This is a one-day Sunday event with doors at 10:00 AM Eastern running through roughly 3:00 PM. With this many tables, a five-hour window is tight — budget the first two hours for a fast survey lap and the remainder for serious digging and negotiating.
Admission was not published on the aggregator listings at the time of writing; armory shows in this market typically charge a nominal door fee with children free. VERIFY the current price and whether early-buyer entry is offered before you go.
The New Albany Indiana Armory provides free on-site parking and a flat, single-level, climate-controlled hall. It is a short hop across the Sherman Minton or Second Street bridges from downtown Louisville, and reachable from I-64 and I-265.
This show rewards serious collectors and dealers more than most regional events simply because of scale — a hundred tables means real price variance and real opportunity. It is equally good for families and first-timers, who benefit from having sports and TCG under one roof.
Come with cash in mixed denominations plus digital payment backups, a want list sorted by sport, player and set, penny sleeves, top loaders and a hard slab case. Do a full lap before spending, and check back with high-interest tables near close when dealers are most willing to move.
