The Indy Card Show lands at the Beech Grove Moose Lodge on Sunday, September 6, 2026 — the day before Labor Day, which the organizers have leaned into deliberately. Holiday-weekend Sunday shows draw a different crowd than the usual Saturday circuit: people who are off work Monday, families with nothing scheduled, and dealers who have already worked a Saturday show elsewhere and arrive with inventory that has been picked once but restocked overnight. The result is a relaxed, well-attended show on the southeast edge of Marion County.
The dealer mix is sports-forward with real depth in the categories central Indiana actually collects. Baseball tables carry vintage Topps and Bowman from the 1950s onward, complete and near-complete sets, star singles and organized commons. Football gets a September bump — Colts material, current rookies, vintage NFL and a healthy amount of Notre Dame and Big Ten college product. Basketball centers on the Pacers and on IU, Purdue and Butler alumni. Hockey, soccer, UFC, boxing and racing fill out the sports side, with Indy 500 memorabilia making regular appearances given the location. Modern product runs across Panini Prizm, Donruss Optic, Select, Mosaic, Topps Chrome and Bowman Chrome. Several tables carry trading card games — Pokemon most consistently, with Magic: The Gathering, Yu-Gi-Oh! and One Piece appearing depending on who books. Graded slabs from PSA, BGS, SGC and CGC sit in locked cases, and there are autographed items, comics, Funko Pops and supplies throughout.
Doors open at 8:00 AM Eastern. Admission is free or a small door charge, and parking at the lodge is free. Kids are welcome and attend free. Note that the published listing confirms the 8:00 AM start but not a firm end time — plan on the show running into the early afternoon and confirm with the organizer if you are driving in from outside the metro.
The Beech Grove Moose Lodge is on the southeast side of Indianapolis in Beech Grove, IN 46107, a few minutes off I-65 and Emerson Avenue and roughly ten minutes from downtown. The lodge is single-level with a large flat lot, so loading in and out is simple. Beech Grove's Main Street commercial strip is close by for lunch, and the venue's position makes it convenient for collectors from Greenwood, Southport, Franklin, Shelbyville and the near east side.
This one suits families and casual collectors especially well — the holiday-weekend timing means it is not a rushed morning, and the lodge atmosphere is about as low-pressure as the hobby gets. Set builders and vintage diggers do well. Dealers looking to buy collections should bring cash, since local sellers often show up to this one with boxes from the attic.
Practical notes: arrive near 8:00 AM for first pick. Bring cash in small denominations, a want list, penny sleeves, top loaders and a carrying box. Since the end time is unconfirmed, treat the morning as the show and do not plan to arrive at one o'clock. Ask dealers whether they are buying — holiday-weekend shows are among the better times to sell into a room.
