Fire Ant's mid-November stop at The Hobbyist Colony Card Shop in Edmond runs Saturday and Sunday, November 14 and 15, 2026, putting a north-metro card show on the calendar the same weekend the OKC Sports Card & Memorabilia Show fills the Oklahoma Expo Hall across town. Rather than competing head-on, the two shows tend to draw different crowds — Fire Ant's shop-hosted, mixed sports-and-TCG format has always skewed more local and more TCG-friendly than the larger fairgrounds show, so plenty of Edmond-area collectors treat mid-November as a genuine two-show weekend if they have the time.
Expect the format Fire Ant has run consistently all year: a roughly even split between sports cards and trading card games on the floor. Sports dealers bring MLB, NBA, NFL, NHL, UFC, boxing, and soccer inventory spanning every era, from vintage Topps, Bowman, Fleer, and Donruss runs through the cheap 1990s junk-wax boxes that are ideal for kids and set builders, up through a strong modern selection of Panini Prizm, Donruss Optic, Select, Mosaic, Topps Chrome, and Bowman Draft, with premium National Treasures, Flawless, and Immaculate cards in locked cases. Mid-November is deep in football season, so NFL and college cards — Oklahoma Sooners and Oklahoma State Cowboys especially — dominate the front tables, alongside steady Oklahoma City Thunder demand as the NBA season ramps up. TCG tables run deep on Pokémon singles and sealed product spanning vintage Wizards of the Coast base sets through the current Scarlet & Violet releases and Japanese-exclusive product, plus Magic: The Gathering, Yu-Gi-Oh!, One Piece Card Game, and Disney Lorcana. Graded PSA, BGS, SGC, and CGC slabs, autographed memorabilia, comics, Funko Pops, and hobby supplies round out the tables.
Doors generally open around 10:00 AM both days, with Saturday running to roughly 5:00 PM and Sunday to roughly 4:00 PM. As with other Fire Ant editions, admission is typically low or waived depending on the specific weekend, with children always free alongside a paying adult — confirm the current door price on the show listing before you go. Because the show is shop-hosted, there is no pre-registration or advance ticketing to worry about; just show up during open hours.
The Hobbyist Colony Card Shop is located in Edmond, an easy drive north from Oklahoma City via I-35 or Broadway Extension, with free parking on-site and throughout the surrounding retail area. The compact, single-shop footprint means you can realistically cover every table in an hour or two, leaving time to also make the Expo Hall show across town if you are treating this as a two-stop weekend.
This edition suits local collectors, TCG players, and families most, with the shop's staff always ready to help newcomers understand grading and pricing. Serious vintage hunters should still stop in, since real graded material regularly turns up, but should treat it as a supplementary stop rather than the day's main event if the fairgrounds show is also on their list. For the best experience, hit Fire Ant first thing Saturday morning before working across town to the Expo Hall show later in the day, bring cash plus Venmo and Zelle as backups, and carry a want list and supplies for anything picked up raw.
