November's Jackson Sports Card Show fills the Clarion Hotel ballroom on Saturday, November 7, 2026, and this is the edition serious buyers tend to mark first. Early November is the sweet spot of the collecting year in West Tennessee: college football rivalry season is heating up, the NBA and NHL are underway, NFL rookie values have had ten weeks to sort themselves out, and — critically — holiday shopping season has begun. Dealers stock up for November and December knowing that gift buyers are coming, which means fuller tables and a wider spread of price points than you get in the quieter summer months.
The floor stays true to the show's sports-first identity. Football is the fall centerpiece, with Tennessee Titans, Tennessee Volunteers, Ole Miss, Mississippi State, Alabama, and broad SEC inventory across vintage Topps and Fleer, the 1990s insert era, and modern Panini Prizm, Donruss Optic, Select, Mosaic, and Contenders. Basketball tables lean Memphis Grizzlies and Memphis Tigers with national coverage. Baseball dealers hold deep vintage Topps and Bowman runs alongside St. Louis Cardinals and Memphis Redbirds material and modern Topps Chrome and Bowman prospects. NHL, UFC, boxing, and soccer all have representation. Autographed memorabilia is a Lindsey Promotions strength — signed footballs, mini-helmets, jerseys, and photographs, much of it certified. Locked cases display PSA, BGS, SGC, and CGC graded slabs across every tier, and a handful of tables carry Pokémon and other trading card game singles and sealed product for crossover collectors.
Hours are 9:00 AM to 4:00 PM CDT on a single Saturday. Admission pricing was not published at listing time; hotel shows on this circuit typically charge a small door fee, with children generally admitted free alongside a paying adult. No advance ticketing is required — pay at the door and walk in.
The Clarion Hotel sits at 541 Carriage House Drive, Jackson, TN 38305, just off Interstate 40 north of downtown Jackson, with free on-site parking outside the ballroom entrance. The eighty-mile run from Memphis takes about ninety minutes, and the indoor, climate-controlled setting means a November cold snap has no effect on your afternoon.
Who should attend: holiday gift buyers looking for something better than a big-box blaster, football and vintage sports collectors, autograph seekers, and anyone selling a collection who wants buying dealers in one room. It is also a friendly show for newcomers — the ballroom scale is approachable, and dealers here take time to explain grading, population reports, and pricing rather than rushing you along. Tips for the day: arrive at 9:00 AM for first pass at freshly stocked tables, bring cash in mixed denominations plus a digital payment option, and carry a want list broken out by sport and player. Pack penny sleeves, top loaders, and a hard slab case, and if you are shopping for gifts, ask dealers directly for their under-twenty-dollar boxes — most have them and few advertise them.
