The J & J All Stars Card Show returns to Our Mother of Sorrows Lyons Hall on Saturday, November 7, 2026 for the show's first November Saturday in the heart of NFL midseason and right at the tipoff of the 2026–2027 NBA season. By early November the football and basketball hobby calendars are both wide open at the same time — Panini Prizm Football and Donruss Optic Football are stacking up, NBA rookies have their first month of game tape, and college football championship-race conversation is shaping every Cardinals and Wildcats fan's pickups. Add in early holiday-shopping demand from parents looking for kid-friendly gifts and this date consistently turns into one of the busiest J & J All Stars rooms of the year. Collectors drive in from Lexington, Frankfort, Bowling Green, Owensboro, Cincinnati, Northern Kentucky, and Southern Indiana.
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, 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 through modern Scarlet & Violet and Japanese exclusives, Magic: The Gathering Commander and Standard, 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 EST and run through 2:00 PM EST — 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 — a great early-holiday pickup for parents looking to introduce a young family member to the hobby. Table reservations are handled through Jeff Meyrose at 317-504-8110 — he runs companion shows in Indianapolis and Cincinnati on alternating weekends.
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, NFL and NBA fans, 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 vendor previews.
