Collectors First brings Trick or Trade to Norman on Saturday, October 3, 2026 — a single-day, Halloween-themed card show that leans all the way into the season. Costumes are encouraged, candy is handed out at the door, and dealers run themed specials and mystery-pack giveaways across the floor. Underneath the festivity it is a legitimate show with a full dealer roster, but the atmosphere is the reason families put it on the calendar, and it has become one of the more distinctive fall events in the OKC metro.
The vendor floor covers both sports cards and trading card games. Sports dealers bring 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 ideal for kids working on their first sets, and modern Panini Prizm, Donruss Optic, Select, Mosaic, Topps Chrome and Bowman Draft, with premium National Treasures, Flawless and Immaculate under glass. Being Norman, Oklahoma Sooners material is the deepest category on the floor by a wide margin — vintage OU football and basketball, modern Sooners rookies who have moved on to the NFL and NBA, and signed memorabilia are all well represented, alongside Thunder, Cowboys, Chiefs and Rangers. TCG tables carry Pokémon singles and sealed from vintage Wizards of the Coast through modern Scarlet & Violet and Japanese exclusives, plus Magic: The Gathering, Yu-Gi-Oh!, One Piece Card Game, Disney Lorcana and Dragon Ball Z Fusion World. Graded PSA, BGS, SGC and CGC slabs, autographed memorabilia, vintage comics, Funko Pops and supplies fill out the room.
As a one-day show, hours run roughly 10:00 AM to 5:00 PM CDT — check the listing to confirm before you drive out, since single-day shows sometimes shift their close time. Admission is low, generally a few dollars for adults, and kids in costume are typically admitted free. Expect a costume contest, candy, raffle drawings and themed pack breaks through the afternoon, plus door prizes drawn at intervals rather than all at the end, so it pays to stay a while.
Norman sits about twenty-five minutes south of downtown Oklahoma City straight down Interstate 35, making this an easy trip from Moore, Noble, Purcell and the south metro. Parking is free and on-site. The venue is indoor, climate-controlled and single-level, which makes it comfortable for families with strollers and easy for dealers loading in.
This show is aimed squarely at families and casual collectors — the Halloween framing exists to make it approachable for kids and first-timers. That said, serious buyers should not write it off: Sooners collectors in particular find material here that simply does not surface at OKC-metro shows, and a smaller one-day floor means unhurried time with every dealer.
For the best experience, arrive close to opening for first pick and for the earliest raffle draws, bring cash plus Venmo and Zelle, and carry a want list. Bring penny sleeves and top loaders for raw pickups, a hard case for slabs, and a bag for the candy if you are bringing kids. Because it is a single day, do not save negotiating for later — make your offers by early afternoon.
