The Husker Bound Card Show returns to Omaha on Sunday, July 19, 2026 for a one-day sports card and collectibles show at the Comfort Inn on Grover Street — one of the most dependable recurring stops on the Omaha hobby calendar. Running 10:00 AM to 4:00 PM CDT with just $2 admission at the door, this hotel-ballroom show packs a surprising amount of inventory into an easy Sunday trip and consistently pulls collectors from across the Omaha metro — Millard, Ralston, Papillion, La Vista, Bellevue, Elkhorn, Gretna — plus Council Bluffs across the river and day-trippers from Lincoln and Fremont. Mid-July timing lands the show in the heart of baseball season, with 2026 Bowman prospecting in full swing and Omaha Storm Chasers and College World Series buzz still fresh in the city that hosts the CWS every June.
The dealer floor leans sports-first. Tables stock MLB, NBA, NFL, NHL, UFC, boxing, and soccer cardboard across every era — vintage Topps, Bowman, and Fleer runs from the 1950s through the 1980s, junk-wax era monster boxes priced to dig, and modern Panini Prizm, Donruss Optic, Select, Mosaic, Topps Chrome, and Bowman Draft. Nebraska Cornhuskers memorabilia and cards are the show's namesake signature — Husker football autographs, vintage Big Red programs, and college cards of Nebraska greats move fast — alongside Creighton Bluejays, Omaha Storm Chasers, and Kansas City Chiefs and Royals inventory that dominates local PC collecting. TCG dealers round out the room with Pokémon singles and sealed from vintage WOTC through modern Scarlet & Violet, plus Magic: The Gathering, Yu-Gi-Oh!, One Piece, and Disney Lorcana. Locked cases display PSA, BGS, SGC, and CGC graded slabs alongside autographed memorabilia and hobby supplies.
Doors run a single clean 10:00 AM to 4:00 PM CDT window — six hours of floor time that fits neatly into a summer Sunday. Admission is $2 cash at the door for adults, kids are welcome, and there is no VIP tier — the door open is the door open for everyone, which keeps the early-bird playing field level.
The Comfort Inn sits at 7007 Grover St, Omaha, NE 68106, just off Interstate 80 at the 72nd Street exit — an easy drive from anywhere in the metro and about ten minutes from downtown. Free parking is plentiful in the hotel lot, the ballroom is climate-controlled and ADA-accessible, and the surrounding 72nd and Grover corridor has plenty of quick lunch options for a mid-show break.
This show fits every collector type — first-timers and families who want a low-cost introduction to the hobby, casual Husker and Chiefs fans hunting PC adds, modern flippers, prospect hunters, and vintage diggers who love hotel-show quarter boxes. For the best experience, arrive at open for first crack at freshly stocked tables, bring cash plus Venmo and PayPal backups, and carry a sorted want list. Pack penny sleeves, top loaders, and a hard-sided case for slabs.
