The Colony Square Mall Card Show brings a full-day sports card and collectibles show to Zanesville's main shopping mall on Saturday, October 10, 2026. About an hour east of Columbus on I-70, Zanesville is the hub for collectors in Muskingum, Perry, Guernsey and Coshocton counties, and this mall show gives them a big, easy-to-reach event without the drive into the city. The mall setting means long hours, climate control, food-court dining and plenty of parking.
What you will find: sports cards dominate the floor, with dealers from eastern and central Ohio carrying baseball, football, basketball and hockey singles, rookies and inserts, graded PSA, BGS and SGC slabs, vintage stars, autographs and game-used relics, and sealed wax for rippers. Because it is a mall show, expect a broader collectibles mix than a typical hall show: Pokémon and other TCGs, comics, Funko Pops, coins, vintage toys and sports memorabilia are all common. Local card shops usually set up as anchors, which means deeper inventory and grading-submission services.
Hours: Saturday, October 10, from 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM, a generous eight-hour window that lets you browse at your own pace.
Admission is free; the show sets up in the mall's common areas, so you simply walk in. Kids are welcome. Cash is recommended for negotiating with individual dealers, and mall ATMs are available.
Venue and parking: Colony Square Mall is at 3575 Maple Avenue, Zanesville, OH 43701, on the north side of town along State Route 60, just off I-70 at Exit 155. Parking is free in the mall lots. The mall has restrooms, a food court and full retail, so it is easy to bring the whole family and make a day of it.
Who should attend: collectors from eastern Ohio who rarely get a show this size nearby, families looking for a free weekend outing, Ohio State and Cleveland or Pittsburgh sports fans hunting team cards, and dealers looking to reach a market outside the Columbus core. First-time show-goers will find the mall environment easy and low-pressure.
Tips: arrive at 9:00 AM for first pick, bring a want list and a trade binder, and walk the entire show once before buying since dealers are spread through several corridors. Carry cash in mixed bills, and ask dealers whether they buy collections if you are looking to sell. Because the show runs until 5:00 PM, late-afternoon visitors often get end-of-day deals from dealers who would rather sell than pack.
Mall shows have a rhythm of their own. Foot traffic peaks around lunchtime when shoppers wander over from the food court, so serious collectors do best in the first hour and the last hour. Dealers are usually spread through the main corridor and the center court, so grab a lap of the whole mall before you settle in at any one table.
