October's Jackson Sports Card Show lands at the Clarion Hotel on Saturday, October 3, 2026, and the timing could hardly be better for football collectors. College football is four weeks in, the NFL season is finding its shape, rookie cards from the summer's Panini and Topps releases are starting to sort winners from busts, and the trade floor gets noticeably livelier when there is fresh on-field evidence to argue about. Jackson's Lindsey Promotions show has been a fixture of the West Tennessee circuit for years, and the early-October date consistently pulls one of the stronger crowds of its calendar.
The show is sports-forward by design. Football tables dominate the fall editions: Tennessee Titans, Tennessee Volunteers, Ole Miss, Mississippi State, Alabama, and broad SEC inventory across vintage Topps and Fleer, the 1990s insert boom, and modern Panini Prizm, Donruss Optic, Select, Mosaic, and Contenders. Baseball dealers stock deep vintage Topps and Bowman runs, St. Louis Cardinals and Memphis Redbirds material, and modern Topps Chrome and Bowman prospect product. Basketball runs Grizzlies and Memphis Tigers heavy, and there is reliable NHL, UFC, boxing, and soccer representation. Autographed memorabilia — signed footballs, mini-helmets, jerseys, and photos — is well represented, and locked cases hold PSA, BGS, SGC, and CGC graded slabs across price tiers from starter commons to genuine investment pieces. A few tables typically carry Pokémon and other TCG singles for crossover buyers.
Doors are open 9:00 AM to 4:00 PM CDT on a single Saturday. Unlike the September date, this one falls on a Saturday as the series normally does, so no scheduling asterisk applies. Admission pricing was not published at listing time; expect a modest door fee typical of hotel shows in this circuit, with children generally free alongside a paying adult. No advance tickets are needed — pay and walk in.
The Clarion Hotel is at 541 Carriage House Drive, Jackson, TN 38305, situated just off Interstate 40 on the north side of Jackson with free on-site parking a short walk from the ballroom door. From Memphis it is roughly eighty miles, about ninety minutes door to door, and the ballroom format means everything is under one roof in a climate-controlled space.
This show is a natural fit for football collectors, vintage sports hunters, autograph seekers, and Memphis-area buyers who want a change of scenery from the Bartlett rotation. It is also a good venue for selling — Lindsey Promotions shows draw buying dealers, so if you are looking to move a collection, bring it organized and ask around. Practical tips: arrive at 9:00 AM for first crack at fresh inventory, carry cash in mixed denominations plus a digital payment option, and bring a want list sorted by sport and player. Pack penny sleeves, top loaders, and a hard slab case, and consider bringing a small folding cart if you plan to buy in volume.
