The Johnson County Card Show scales up for a two-day fall edition at the Homefield Olathe Training Center on Saturday and Sunday, September 26 and 27, 2026. Run by the Shake and Bake Sports Cards crew, the Johnson County series is the metro's most consistent monthly show, and the expanded two-day format is reserved for the editions where they can fill significantly more floor than the usual Saturday-only room.
Homefield is an athletic training facility, which gives the show an unusual amount of open space and good overhead lighting — a real advantage when you are grading centering and surface by eye. Sports tables carry MLB from vintage Topps through current prospects, NFL loaded with Chiefs rookies and autographs, NBA prizm and optic, NHL, plus soccer that reflects the Sporting Kansas City fan base and a rotating UFC and boxing presence. Graded slabs from PSA, BGS and SGC are everywhere. Trading card game dealers bring Pokemon sealed and singles, Magic: The Gathering, Yu-Gi-Oh!, One Piece, Lorcana and Dragon Ball Z, and generalist tables round out the room with comics, Funko Pops, signed memorabilia and unopened wax.
Saturday, September 26 runs 10:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. Sunday, September 27 runs 10:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. The two-day structure rewards a return visit: Saturday morning is when the strongest single cards get claimed, but Sunday afternoon is reliably the best negotiating window of the weekend as dealers thin out what they are willing to repack.
Admission is free both days. There is no ticketed VIP tier and no charge for children accompanied by an adult. Nothing to purchase in advance — walk in either day during open hours.
Homefield Olathe Training Center is in Olathe, Kansas, with a large dedicated surface lot and free parking directly outside the entrance. The facility is single-level with wide corridors, accessible restrooms and room for strollers. Olathe's restaurant corridor along 119th Street is a short drive, and there are quick-service options within a few minutes.
A two-day free show is about as approachable as the hobby gets, which makes this a good first card show for families and newcomers. It is equally serious as a buying opportunity — the Johnson County regulars know their inventory and price it competitively, and the extra floor space in the two-day editions means more out-of-town dealers than usual.
How to work it: come Saturday morning if you are hunting specific high-end cards, and come Sunday afternoon if price is your priority. Bring cash in mixed denominations; the discount for cash is real and consistent here. Carry a written want list broken out by sport and set, and bring a tote for what you buy. Walk both rows fully before spending, and ask dealers whether they have anything comparable in the case — the Johnson County dealers are generally happy to dig.
Dates for the October, November and December editions, along with vendor table information, are posted on cardshows.io and on the Shake and Bake Sports Cards social channels, where the operator also posts vendor lineups in the week before each show.
