The November edition of The Johnson County Card Show runs Saturday, November 14, 2026 at the Homefield Olathe Training Center. This is the last standard one-day show of the year before the series shifts to its two-day Thanksgiving and Christmas formats, and it tends to be one of the better-attended dates on the calendar as holiday shopping starts in earnest.
The sports floor is at its most complete in November. NFL is mid-season with Chiefs rookies, autographs and patch cards drawing the most traffic. NBA product from the opening weeks arrives fresh. MLB dealers work through vintage Topps and Bowman, postseason-relevant Royals material and current prospect cards. NHL, college and soccer round out the sports side. Graded slabs from PSA, BGS and SGC fill the display cases, while raw vintage dealers hold down the perimeter with 1960s through 1980s baseball and football in collector grades. Trading card game vendors carry Pokemon singles and sealed product, Magic: The Gathering, Yu-Gi-Oh!, One Piece, Lorcana and Dragon Ball Z, and November brings noticeably more sealed inventory as gift buyers start circulating. A handful of tables offer comics, Funko Pops, signed memorabilia and unopened wax.
Hours are 10:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. on Saturday, November 14 — six hours, single day. The compressed window shapes the day: the room is at its fullest from about ten-thirty through one, and the last hour is where prices bend. With only six hours on the clock, hesitating on something you want carries real risk.
Admission is free. No tickets, no VIP tier, no wristbands, no charge for accompanied children. Walk in during open hours.
Homefield Olathe Training Center is an athletic training facility in Olathe, Kansas with free parking in a large surface lot right outside the entrance. The building is single-level with wide aisles and strong overhead lighting, which is a meaningful advantage when you are assessing raw card condition. Olathe restaurants along the 119th Street corridor are a short drive for a mid-show meal.
Free entry and a compact, well-organized floor make this an easy show for families, newcomers and anyone who does not want to commit a full day. Experienced buyers like the efficiency — you can genuinely work every table in six hours. Sellers should arrive early and ask which dealers are actively buying, since several Johnson County regulars post buy lists in advance.
Some tactics: move fast on your first lap, flagging tables to revisit rather than browsing exhaustively. Bring cash in mixed denominations; the cash discount here is consistent. Keep a want list sorted by sport so you can ask targeted questions. If you are buying gifts, compare sealed pricing across several tables before committing. And if a card is close to your number, take it — in a six-hour room, coming back later frequently means it is gone.
Dates for the two-day Thanksgiving weekend and December editions, along with vendor table pricing, are posted on cardshows.io and on the Shake and Bake Sports Cards social channels.
