Fire Ant runs a dedicated TCG ONLY edition at The Hobbyist Colony Card Shop in Edmond on Saturday and Sunday, September 5–6, 2026 — no sports tables, no memorabilia, just trading card games from open to close. For Oklahoma City metro TCG players and collectors this is the show worth clearing a weekend for, because a sports-free floor means every table, every case and every conversation is pointed at the games you actually play and collect.
Pokémon leads the way. Expect vendors carrying singles across the full history of the game — vintage Wizards of the Coast Base Set, Jungle, Fossil and Neo era cards, the Ex and Diamond and Pearl middle years, and modern Scarlet & Violet sets including Japanese-exclusive product that rarely shows up at general card shows. Sealed inventory typically spans current booster boxes, elite trainer boxes, tins and collection boxes, with graded PSA and CGC Pokémon slabs in the cases. Beyond Pokémon, tables cover Magic: The Gathering — Commander staples, Standard-legal singles, older-format and reserved-list cards, and sealed draft and set boosters — along with Yu-Gi-Oh! staples and tournament-ready extra deck pieces, One Piece Card Game leaders and characters, Disney Lorcana, Dragon Ball Z Fusion World, Star Wars Unlimited, Flesh and Blood and Digimon. Playmats, deck boxes, sleeves, binders, storage and grading supplies are widely available, and trading between attendees is actively encouraged rather than tolerated.
Doors open at 10:00 AM CDT on both Saturday and Sunday, with Saturday running until roughly 5:00 PM and Sunday until roughly 4:00 PM. Admission is typically free or a nominal few dollars at the door — Fire Ant frequently waives it for TCG editions — and children are admitted free alongside an adult. Because The Hobbyist Colony is an active game shop, open play space is generally available during the show, so bring a deck: pickup games, casual Commander pods and trade circles form throughout the weekend. Confirm current admission and any organized-play scheduling on the event listing before you go.
The Hobbyist Colony Card Shop sits in Edmond, immediately north of Oklahoma City, with easy access from I-35 and the Broadway Extension and free parking in the shop lot. The compact, shop-based footprint is an advantage for a TCG show — you can price-compare the same card across several vendors in minutes rather than hiking a convention floor.
This show is built for competitive players restocking a deck before a season change, collectors chasing specific set completions or graded vintage Pokémon, parents shopping for kids deep in the hobby, and traders who would rather swap than buy. It is a genuinely easy first show for a young collector — the crowd is patient, and shop staff will happily walk a newcomer through what a card is actually worth.
To get the most out of it, arrive at Saturday open when the fresh singles boxes are untouched, bring cash plus Venmo and Zelle, and carry both a want list and a clearly-priced trade binder. Sleeve anything valuable before you walk in, bring a hard case for slabs, and photograph high-value trades. Save Sunday afternoon for haggling, when vendors would rather move stock than pack it.
