The Husker Bound Card Show returns to the Comfort Inn on Grover Street on Saturday, November 21, 2026, for its final Omaha date of the year — and the timing could hardly be better for collectors. Rivalry week in college football is days away, the NFL playoff picture is taking shape, and the holiday shopping season is about to begin, which makes this November edition equal parts card show and gift-hunting opportunity.
As always with this series, sports cards dominate the room. Dealers bring deep football inventory in November — Husker alumni cards, Big Ten stars, breakout NFL rookies whose prices are still moving week to week — alongside year-round staples of baseball, basketball, and hockey. Expect graded slabs from PSA, BGS, and SGC, autographed cards and memorabilia, numbered parallels, sealed wax boxes, and the dollar and quarter boxes that make hotel shows worth the trip for patient diggers. Several regulars also carry Pokemon and other TCG product, plus supplies like sleeves, top loaders, and binders that make easy stocking stuffers.
The show runs 11:00 AM to 4:30 PM. The July edition charged two dollars at the door and the November show is expected to match it, making this one of the cheapest full-afternoon hobby outings in the metro. Kids are welcome with an adult, and the series has a family-friendly reputation.
The Comfort Inn at 7007 Grover Street is directly off Interstate 80 near the 72nd Street exit, with free hotel-lot parking and an easy-to-navigate show room. The compact space is a feature, not a bug: you can scout every table in twenty minutes, then spend the rest of your visit negotiating and digging where it counts.
November gives this show a distinct personality. Holiday shoppers come hunting graded cards and sealed boxes as gifts, sellers bring collections to convert into holiday cash, and dealers price to move because it is their last chance to reach Omaha buyers before year-end. That mix makes it one of the more active buying-and-selling rooms on the local calendar. Families, team collectors, set builders, investors, and first-time show visitors will all find something worth the two-dollar door.
A few tips to maximize the day: arrive near the 11:00 AM open for first pick of fresh inventory — hotel shows are small enough that the best material is spoken for early. Bring cash in mixed denominations, and bring your want list with realistic target prices, especially for hot rookies whose values are still swinging with each week's games. If you are gift shopping, ask dealers about sealed product and graded cards in your price range; most will happily point you to the right table even if it is not theirs. And if you are selling, get offers from at least two buyers before you commit. Check the cardshows.io listing for any late updates, and note this is the series' last local date until the new year — miss it and you are waiting until 2027.
