Scott Glasgow's Magnolia Sports Cards Show returns to Tupelo Furniture Market Building 4 on Saturday, October 10, 2026, giving northeast Mississippi collectors their fall gathering point. Tupelo is best known as Elvis Presley's birthplace, and that heritage quietly shapes the show — memorabilia dealers here carry Elvis material that simply does not turn up at ordinary card shows, and the crossover between music collectibles and sports cardboard gives the floor a flavor of its own. The Furniture Market complex is a serious exhibition venue rather than a repurposed banquet room, which means high ceilings, real aisles, and room to breathe.
The show runs about forty vendor tables with a sports-first focus. Baseball leads: vintage Topps and Bowman from the 1950s through the 1970s, the 1980s and junk-wax 1990s in affordable monster boxes, and modern Topps Chrome, Bowman prospect product, and Panini offerings. Football and basketball tables carry Ole Miss, Mississippi State, Southern Miss, Alabama, LSU, Memphis Grizzlies, and Atlanta-market inventory across vintage and modern Prizm, Optic, Select, and Mosaic. NHL, UFC, boxing, and soccer are represented in smaller but real quantities. Autographed memorabilia is a strength here — signed balls, photographs, and framed pieces — and locked cases display PSA, BGS, SGC, and CGC graded slabs. A portion of the floor carries Pokémon, Magic: The Gathering, Yu-Gi-Oh!, One Piece, and Disney Lorcana singles and sealed for TCG collectors, though the show's center of gravity remains sports.
Doors open at 9:00 AM CDT and close at 3:00 PM CDT — six hours on a single Saturday. Admission is listed as free on the card show directories, though one aggregator marks pricing as unconfirmed, so budget for a possible small door fee. Children are welcome, and family-friendly is very much the tone; dealers at Magnolia shows have a reputation for spending real time with young collectors rather than brushing them off. No advance ticketing is required.
Tupelo Furniture Market Building 4 is at 1879 North Coley Road in Tupelo, MS 38801, with a very large free parking lot and straightforward loading access for vendors and anyone bringing a collection to sell. From Memphis the drive runs about an hour and forty-five minutes southeast on Highway 78 and Interstate 22 — an easy morning run that gets you there near open.
This show is a good fit for vintage baseball hunters, autograph collectors, Mississippi college sports fans, families, and anyone who enjoys a show where you can actually talk to the dealer. It is also a sensible stop for buyers who want to pair it with the Elvis Presley Birthplace or the Tupelo Automobile Museum for a fuller day trip. Practical advice: arrive close to 9:00 AM, since with forty tables the best raw material moves early. Bring cash in mixed denominations, a want list sorted by sport and player, and penny sleeves, top loaders, and a hard slab case for anything you buy. Save your bigger negotiations for the last ninety minutes. Contact the organizer through the show listing for vendor table availability and to confirm admission before you travel.
