The Memorial Day Card & Collectibles Show comes to Franklin, Tennessee on Friday through Sunday, May 29–31, 2026 for the holiday-weekend edition of the southside Nashville region's most consistent recurring card and TCG show. Held in the Cool Springs / Franklin area — twenty minutes south of downtown Nashville along I-65 — this three-day Memorial Day weekend show pulls collectors from Nashville, Brentwood, Spring Hill, Murfreesboro, Columbia, and across Williamson and Maury counties, and benefits from the long holiday weekend that brings travelers and family visitors into the region.
The vendor floor offers a balanced mix of sports cards, TCGs, and collectibles. Sports dealers stock deep MLB, NBA, NFL, NHL, UFC, boxing, and soccer inventory across every era — vintage Topps, Bowman, Fleer, and Goudey runs from the 1950s through the 1980s, junk-wax 1990s staples, and modern Panini Prizm, Donruss Optic, Select, Mosaic, Topps Chrome, Bowman Draft, and premium National Treasures, Flawless, and Immaculate. Tennessee Titans, Nashville Predators, Vanderbilt Commodores, Tennessee Volunteers, Memphis Grizzlies, Atlanta Braves, and SEC college football inventory is consistently deep. Memorial Day weekend timing aligns with fresh MLB hobby releases and NBA playoff momentum, so 2026 Topps Chrome Baseball and current-season Panini Prizm Basketball are usually well-represented in vendor cases. TCG tables run heavy on Pokémon singles and sealed from vintage WOTC through modern Scarlet & Violet and Japanese exclusives, plus 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. Graded slabs from PSA, BGS, SGC, and CGC fill dozens of locked cases, alongside autographed memorabilia, vintage comics, Funko Pops, video games, and hobby supplies.
Friday hours run 11:00 AM to 7:00 PM CDT, Saturday runs 9:00 AM to 7:00 PM CDT, and Sunday runs 9:00 AM to 4:00 PM CDT. General admission is typically $8 at the door for adults with kids 12 and under entering free with a paying adult, and a VIP early-entry option gives collectors a 90-minute head start each morning before the public hour. Three-day weekend passes are typically available at a small discount versus single-day tickets. Door prizes, pack giveaways, and breaker raffles are distributed throughout the weekend while supplies last.
The Cool Springs / Franklin venue area sits directly off I-65 at the Cool Springs Boulevard or McEwen Drive exits, ten minutes north of downtown Franklin and twenty minutes south of downtown Nashville. The venue is climate-controlled, ADA-accessible, and laid out on a single level with wide aisles. Free on-site parking is plentiful, and the Cool Springs Galleria mall, the Factory at Franklin, and downtown Franklin's historic Main Street sit minutes away for lunch breaks and post-show family activities.
This show fits every Middle Tennessee collector type. Serious buyers use VIP early-entry to cherry-pick vintage and high-end modern before the holiday-weekend rush. Flippers and breakers restock binders, swap case-break hits, and live-stream from the floor. Families love the relaxed pace, free child admission, and the chance to combine the show with a Memorial Day weekend trip to historic downtown Franklin.
For the best experience, buy VIP early-entry online, arrive right at the Friday 11:00 AM door, bring cash plus Venmo and Zelle backups, and carry a detailed want list. Pack penny sleeves, top loaders, and a sturdy carrying box. Save the last 90 minutes Sunday for negotiation — dealers typically cut prices before packing up after a long weekend. Follow Middle Tennessee card show Facebook groups and the official TCDb listing for vendor previews and 2026 schedule updates.
