The NC Collector's Roadshow returns to the Kerr Scott Building at the NC State Fairgrounds on Saturday and Sunday, November 7–8, 2026, bringing 230-plus tables of sports cards, toys, Pokemon, and collectibles to Raleigh for a full November weekend. Presented by Inside Pitch Promotions — the oldest collectibles show operator in the Carolinas — this is one of the Triangle's anchor shows, and the November date is perfectly timed for collectors starting their holiday hunting.
With more than 230 tables, the floor covers the whole hobby. Sports card dealers bring deep inventory across MLB, NBA, NFL, NHL, UFC, boxing, and soccer — vintage Topps, Bowman, and Fleer, 1980s and 1990s wax, and modern Panini Prizm, Donruss Optic, Select, Mosaic, and Topps Chrome, plus Bowman Chrome prospects. Carolina collectors will find Hurricanes, Panthers, and Hornets material alongside NC State, UNC, and Duke alumni cards. The Pokemon and TCG rows run from vintage WOTC through the newest sets, with Magic: The Gathering and Yu-Gi-Oh! represented, and the toy aisles add vintage action figures, Star Wars, Hot Wheels, Funko Pops, and comics. Locked cases hold graded PSA, BGS, SGC, and CGC slabs at every price point.
Hours are Saturday 9:00 AM to 4:00 PM and Sunday 10:00 AM to 3:00 PM. Admission is $5 for adults, a $7 weekend pass covers both days, and kids 10 and under are free — with free parking at the fairgrounds, an entire family can attend for the price of a fast-food lunch. The weekend pass is the move for serious diggers: work the floor Saturday, then return Sunday for end-of-show deals.
The Kerr Scott Building sits on the NC State Fairgrounds at 1025 Blue Ridge Road in west Raleigh, just off I-40 and Wade Avenue, with acres of free parking. It is ten minutes from downtown Raleigh and an easy drive from Cary, Durham, Chapel Hill, and the entire Triangle, with plenty of dining along Hillsborough Street and Blue Ridge Road.
Who should attend? Everyone from serious dealers to first-time families. The 230-table scale rewards collectors with deep want lists, the toy and Pokemon aisles keep kids engaged, and the low admission keeps the stakes friendly for browsers. Holiday shoppers hunting graded rookies, sealed Pokemon, or vintage toys for December gifting will find this the best-stocked local opportunity before Thanksgiving.
To get the best experience, arrive at Saturday's 9:00 AM open for first crack at fresh inventory, bring cash with Venmo or Zelle as backup, and carry a sorted want list with target prices. Pack penny sleeves, top loaders, and a slab case, bring a trade binder if you deal, and wear comfortable shoes — 230 tables is a genuine workout. Sunday after 1:00 PM is prime bargain territory.
