Memphis TCG CON 2026 takes over the Renasant Convention Center in downtown Memphis from Friday, May 8 through Sunday, May 10, 2026 for the largest dedicated trading card and TCG event of the year in the Mid-South. Hosted by the Cards & More Tour, this three-day convention turns 255 North Main Street into a full-on hobby destination — 100-plus vendor tables, a tournament hall, and a kid-and-family zone — and pulls collectors, players, and dealers from across Tennessee, Mississippi, Arkansas, Missouri, Kentucky, and Alabama. Mother's Day weekend timing puts the show right at the edge of summer hobby season, with NBA playoff basketball in full swing, Topps Series 1 Baseball fully out, and the early Pokémon Scarlet & Violet end-of-cycle releases moving fast on the secondary market.
The vendor floor packs together every corner of the trading card hobby. Sports tables 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. Memphis Grizzlies, Tennessee Titans, Memphis Tigers, Ole Miss Rebels, Memphis Redbirds, St. Louis Cardinals, and Memphis 901 FC inventory moves consistently, and Elvis Presley memorabilia and Memphis music collectibles are a specialty you will not find at out-of-region shows. TCG tables stock Pokémon singles and sealed from vintage WOTC Base, Jungle, Fossil, and Team Rocket through modern Scarlet & Violet and Japanese exclusives, 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. 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 Friday, May 8 from 3:00 PM to 9:00 PM CDT for VIP early-entry trade night and tournament check-in. Saturday, May 9 is the main show day, running 10:00 AM to 9:00 PM CDT with the full vendor floor open and Pokémon, Magic, and One Piece tournaments running on the side stages. Sunday, May 10 wraps the weekend from 10:00 AM to 4:00 PM CDT with the deepest dealer-cut deals of the show. General admission is typically $10 for a single-day pass and $25 for a full weekend pass, with VIP early-entry packages available in advance through the Cards & More Tour website. Kids 12 and under are admitted free with a paying adult, and on-site giveaways and door-prize raffles run throughout each day.
The Renasant Convention Center is at 255 North Main Street, Memphis, TN 38103, in the heart of downtown two blocks off the Mississippi River. Climate-controlled, ADA-accessible, and laid out with very wide tournament-friendly aisles. Paid parking is available in the attached Civic Center Parking Garage and at multiple downtown lots within walking distance, and the Memphis Area Transit Authority Main Street Trolley stops directly outside.
This show fits every collector type — first-timers, families, casual fans, modern flippers, breakers, prospect hunters, vintage buyers, and competitive tournament players. For the best experience, buy the VIP Friday-night early-entry pass 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 @cardsandmoretour on Instagram and Facebook for vendor previews and tournament schedules.
