The J & J All Stars Card Show returns to Our Mother of Sorrows Lyons Hall in the Highlands on Saturday, May 16, 2026 for one of the longest-running and most beloved recurring sports and TCG card shows in Louisville. Hosted on alternating Saturdays for most of the year by promoter Jeff Meyrose, J & J All Stars has anchored the Louisville hobby calendar across multiple eras of the industry — from the 1990s junk-wax boom through the 2010s prospect surge and into today's premium-modern and Pokémon-driven market — and consistently delivers one of the deepest local vendor floors in Kentucky. Collectors regularly drive in from Lexington, Frankfort, Bowling Green, Owensboro, Cincinnati, Northern Kentucky, and Southern Indiana for this one.
The vendor floor at Lyons Hall packs dozens of dealer tables into a bright, well-lit parish hall layout. Sports dealers stock deep MLB, NBA, NFL, NHL, UFC, boxing, MMA, soccer, and college football inventory across every era — vintage Topps, Bowman, Fleer, Goudey, Play Ball, and pre-war tobacco runs from the early 1900s through the 1980s, junk-wax 1990s monster boxes, and modern Panini Prizm, Donruss Optic, Select, Mosaic, Topps Chrome, Bowman Draft, and premium Topps Dynasty, National Treasures, Flawless, and Immaculate. Louisville Cardinals basketball and football, Kentucky Wildcats, Cincinnati Reds and Bengals, Indianapolis Colts, Louisville Bats, and Louisville City FC inventory is consistently strong here, and Muhammad Ali boxing memorabilia and Kentucky Derby horse-racing pieces are a Louisville signature. TCG tables stock Pokémon singles and sealed from vintage WOTC Base, Jungle, Fossil, and Team Rocket through modern Scarlet & Violet and Japanese exclusives, Magic: The Gathering Commander and Standard staples, Yu-Gi-Oh!, One Piece TCG, Disney Lorcana, Dragon Ball Z Fusion World, Digimon, Star Wars Unlimited, and Flesh and Blood. Locked cases display PSA, BGS, SGC, and CGC graded slabs from low-end commons to grail-level vintage and modern, alongside autographed memorabilia, vintage comics, Funko Pops, and hobby supplies.
Doors open at 9:00 AM EDT and run through 2:00 PM EDT — five hours of trading time that lets you work every table at a relaxed pace. Admission is free for all ages and there is no formal VIP early-entry, so the door open is the door open for everyone. Kids are warmly welcomed and dealers consistently hand out free packs and singles to engaged younger collectors. Table reservations are handled through Jeff Meyrose at 317-504-8110 — he runs companion shows in Indianapolis (Fishers) and Cincinnati (West Chester / Liberty) on alternating weekends, so booking ahead is recommended.
Our Mother of Sorrows Lyons Hall is located at 774 Eastern Parkway, Louisville, KY 40217, in the heart of the Highlands neighborhood and minutes from Bardstown Road, Cherokee Park, and the University of Louisville campus. The hall is climate-controlled, ADA-accessible, and laid out with wide aisles for easy browsing. Free parking is available on the parish lot and on surrounding Highlands side streets.
This show fits every collector type — first-timers, families, casual fans, modern flippers, breakers, and vintage hunters. For the best experience, arrive right at 9:00 AM for first dibs on freshly-stocked dealer tables, bring cash plus Venmo, Zelle, and PayPal backups, and carry a sorted want list. Pack penny sleeves, top loaders, and a hard-sided slab case. Follow @jjallstarsports on X and the JJ All Star Sportscards Facebook page for show updates and vendor previews.
