The Glen Burnie Sports Card Show returns to Arthur Slade Catholic School on Saturday, October 17, 2026, bringing a free-admission, 100-table card show to Anne Arundel County. Promoted by Leo Zerhusen, this recurring event has become a dependable stop for collectors in Glen Burnie, Baltimore's southern suburbs, Annapolis, and the Washington corridor, and it is one of the easiest ways to find sports cards without paying a gate fee.
With about 100 tables, the show offers a healthy mix of baseball, basketball, football, and hockey cards, from bargain bins to graded rookies and star autographs. Dealers also commonly bring memorabilia, bobbleheads, and Pokémon product, and because the show recurs, many sellers bring fresh inventory each time. Collectors of local teams, including Orioles, Ravens, Capitals, and Commanders items, often find regional pieces here that do not appear at shows in other states.
The event runs from 9:00 AM to 2:00 PM, a slightly shorter day than some shows, so plan to arrive early. Admission is free, which makes it a great choice for families and anyone checking out card shows for the first time.
The show is held at Arthur Slade Catholic School, 120 Dorsey Road, Glen Burnie, MD. School gymnasium venues usually offer on-site parking, though lots can fill by mid-morning, so allow time to find a spot. The location is close to Route 100, I-97, and Route 2, and it is only a few miles from BWI Airport, making it convenient for drivers coming from Baltimore, Annapolis, and Howard County.
This show is ideal for casual collectors, parents bringing children, budget shoppers, and sellers who want a well-attended table on the south side of Baltimore. It is also friendly to people selling collections, because the crowd includes many local buyers.
Because admission is free, arrive early, bring cash, and use a written want list. Look through dealers' penny boxes and bargain tables; deals there can be excellent. If you have doubles to trade, bring a small binder. Ask about price breaks when buying multiple cards from the same table, and remember to bring a bag or box to carry your finds safely home.
Contact promoter Leo Zerhusen at 443-416-6447 for table information or details about the show.
Anne Arundel County has a deep bench of baseball fans thanks to the Orioles and the Baysox, and that shows up in the boxes at Glen Burnie. Look for Cal Ripken Jr. and Orioles team sets, Ravens rookies, and Terps memorabilia, and do not skip the tables selling supplies, because top-loaders, magnetic cases, and sleeves are often cheaper here than at big-box stores. Since the show runs on a recurring schedule, many collectors treat it as a monthly ritual: they check the tables, trade with regulars, and catch up on the local hobby scene, which is part of what keeps the atmosphere friendly.
The Glen Burnie show returns again in November, so if you miss this date, you can plan ahead for another chance to shop in the same venue.
