October's Monsignor Slade Sports Card & Collectibles Show lands on Saturday, October 10, 2026, bringing the Glen Burnie hobby community together at the height of one of the best stretches on the sports calendar. With the MLB postseason in full swing, the NFL and NHL seasons underway, NBA training camps opening, and football-card releases hitting their peak, the October show traditionally buzzes with energy as collectors chase the players and rookies dominating the headlines. Held in the gymnasium of Monsignor Slade Catholic School at 120 Dorsey Road, this free-admission HASA fundraiser remains one of the most approachable and family-friendly shows in the Baltimore area.
The vendor floor offers something for every collector. Sports tables run deep across MLB, NBA, NFL, NHL, UFC, boxing, and soccer, with vintage Topps, Bowman, Fleer, and Goudey from the pre-war years through the 1980s, budget-friendly 1990s wax for set builders, and the newest modern Panini Prizm, Donruss Optic, Select, Mosaic, Topps Chrome, and Bowman Draft for prospectors and breakers. Baltimore Orioles and Ravens cards move briskly, and local dealers consistently bring strong Maryland-flavored inventory. You will also find PSA, BGS, and SGC graded slabs from commons to grails, autographed and game-used memorabilia, vintage comics, Funko Pops, and a healthy assortment of Pokémon, Magic: The Gathering, Yu-Gi-Oh!, and One Piece singles and sealed product.
Doors are open Saturday from 9:00 AM to 2:00 PM EDT, and admission is free — a genuine rarity that keeps attendance high and the atmosphere relaxed. The early hour rewards serious buyers hunting fresh material, while the last hour often brings the best closing deals as dealers thin out their boxes.
Monsignor Slade Catholic School is located at 120 Dorsey Road, Glen Burnie, MD 21090, just off Interstate 97 and Route 10 with easy connections to the Baltimore Beltway (I-695) and the BWI corridor. The show pulls collectors from Baltimore, Annapolis, Pasadena, Severna Park, and surrounding Anne Arundel County. Free on-site parking is available, and the venue is fully accessible to all attendees.
This is an ideal show for families and kids, casual collectors, vintage diggers working through dollar boxes, set builders, modern flippers, and serious vintage buyers alike. TCG players will also find plenty of singles to complete decks and binders, making it a true all-around hobby stop.
To get the most out of your visit, arrive right at 9:00 AM for the best selection, then make a second loop near the 2:00 PM close for discounts. Bring cash for the smoothest transactions and best negotiating leverage, though many dealers also take Venmo, Zelle, and PayPal. Pack a want list, penny sleeves, and top loaders, and feel free to ask dealers about inventory they haven't put out on the table.
