The GAS Card Show closes out the fall with a Halloween-weekend stop in Independence on Saturday, October 31 and Sunday, November 1, 2026 — a two-day, free-admission show at the Stoney Creek Hotel Conference Center that gives the Kansas City metro one last big card-show weekend before the holidays. Hosted at 18011 Bass Pro Drive just off Interstate 70, this 160-table weekend show consistently pulls Kansas City-metro collectors driving in from Independence, Blue Springs, Lee's Summit, Raytown, Grandview, downtown Kansas City MO, North Kansas City, Liberty, Gladstone, Belton, and across the state line from Overland Park, Lenexa, Olathe, and Shawnee. Halloween-weekend timing lands the show at the heart of football season — Kansas City Chiefs cards are peaking, NFL and college rookies are the hottest tickets, and NBA and NHL season openers add fresh demand — making it a natural pre-holiday buying and selling window.
The vendor floor packs 160 dealer tables across every corner of the trading card hobby. Sports tables stock deep MLB, NBA, NFL, NHL, UFC, boxing, MMA, soccer, and college football inventory across every era — vintage Topps, Bowman, Fleer, Goudey, Play Ball, and pre-war tobacco runs from the early 1900s through the 1980s, junk-wax 1990s monster boxes, and modern Panini Prizm, Donruss Optic, Select, Mosaic, Topps Chrome, Bowman Draft, and premium National Treasures, Flawless, and Immaculate. Kansas City Chiefs, Kansas City Royals, Sporting Kansas City, Kansas City Current, Kansas Jayhawks, Kansas State Wildcats, Missouri Tigers, and St. Louis Cardinals inventory moves consistently and is a Midwest signature dealers stock heavy for this show. TCG tables stock Pokémon singles and sealed from vintage WOTC Base through modern Scarlet & Violet, Magic: The Gathering, Yu-Gi-Oh!, One Piece TCG, Disney Lorcana, Dragon Ball Z Fusion World, Star Wars Unlimited, and Flesh and Blood. Locked cases display PSA, BGS, SGC, and CGC graded slabs alongside autographed memorabilia, vintage comics, Funko Pops, and hobby supplies.
Doors open at 10:00 AM CDT and run through 5:00 PM CDT on both Saturday, October 31 and Sunday, November 1 — fourteen total hours of trading across the weekend. Admission is completely free for all ages, and there is no formal VIP early-entry, so the door open is the door open for everyone. Kids are warmly welcomed and dealers regularly hand out free packs and singles to engaged younger collectors; costumes are always a fun sight on the Halloween Saturday. Free admission across two full days makes this one of the best-value hobby weekends on the KC calendar.
The Stoney Creek Hotel Conference Center is at 18011 Bass Pro Drive, Independence, MO 64055, immediately off Interstate 70 at Exit 16 (Little Blue Parkway / Bass Pro Way). Climate-controlled, ADA-accessible, laid out with wide aisles, and sharing the property with the hotel restaurant for an easy mid-show lunch break. Free parking is plentiful in the on-site Stoney Creek lot, and the Bass Pro Shops Outdoor World complex is a 90-second walk for family members who want a break from the dealer floor.
This show fits every collector type — first-timers, families, casual fans, modern flippers, breakers, prospect hunters, vintage hunters, and Pokémon and TCG players. For the best experience, arrive at 10:00 AM Saturday sharp, bring cash plus Venmo, Zelle, and PayPal backups, and carry a sorted want list. Pack penny sleeves, top loaders, and a hard-sided slab case. Email GAScardshows@gmail.com or call 816-708-8535 for details.
