Mid South Card Con takes over the Biloxi Civic Center on Saturday, November 14, 2026, billing itself as the largest locally run card show on the Mississippi Gulf Coast. With 115 vendor tables and a five dollar entry fee, it delivers a genuinely large show at a price point that makes it easy to justify the drive — and from New Orleans that drive is about eighty-five miles straight east on I-10, well under a hundred minutes. For metro collectors, the Gulf Coast is an underrated hunting ground: the dealer base is different, the inventory has not been worked over by Louisiana buyers, and prices frequently reflect that.
The floor spans the full hobby. Sports card dealers bring football, baseball, basketball and hockey across every era, with strong Saints, Ole Miss, Mississippi State and Southern Miss representation alongside national inventory. Expect vintage Topps and Bowman from the 1950s through the 1980s in raw and graded form, junk-wax-era stars priced to move, and modern Prizm, Optic, Select, Mosaic, Topps Chrome and Bowman Chrome rookies with numbered parallels and autographed inserts. Graded slabs from PSA, SGC, CGC and Beckett fill dozens of cases. Trading card game vendors cover Pokemon heavily, along with Magic: The Gathering, Yu-Gi-Oh!, One Piece and Dragon Ball Super in singles and sealed product. Also on the floor: unopened wax, autographed memorabilia, game-used pieces, comics, Funko Pops and collectible figures.
Admission is a flat five dollars at the door, one of the best values on the Gulf South circuit for a show of this size. Doors open in the morning and the show runs a standard single-day schedule — confirm exact hours with the organizer, as the published listing does not include a closing time. Children's admission policy should also be confirmed, though shows at this price point typically admit young kids free with an adult.
The Biloxi Civic Center sits at 578 Howard Avenue in downtown Biloxi with parking on site and additional public lots nearby. The building is a proper civic venue — climate controlled, wide aisles, good lighting for inspecting cards, and clean restrooms. Downtown Biloxi restaurants are within walking distance, and the casino corridor along Beach Boulevard is a couple of minutes away for lodging, dining or a break from the floor.
This show works for everyone. Serious buyers get 115 tables of inventory from a dealer pool that does not overlap much with the New Orleans circuit. Set builders find deep commons boxes. Families get a low door fee and a manageable, well-lit floor. Sellers should bring material — traveling dealers arrive with cash and the show's size means multiple competing offers.
Tips: arrive at open. At a show with a five dollar door, the room fills fast and the best raw vintage moves within the first ninety minutes. Bring cash — the low entry price signals a cash-friendly dealer base. Carry sleeves, top loaders and a want list. Do a full lap before buying, because 115 tables produce real price variance on comparable cards. If you are coming from Louisiana, remember the time zone does not change but I-10 traffic through Slidell can.
