The Noblesville Card Show is back at Moose Lodge #540 on Saturday, September 12, 2026 for its September edition, and this is traditionally one of the strongest dates on the show's calendar. Early September in Indiana means football is live, the Colts have played their opener, and dealers time their fall restock to hit exactly this weekend. Collectors who skip the summer dates and come back in September consistently find the deepest inventory of the second half of the year.
The floor is sports-led with a broad supporting cast. Football takes the front tables in September — Colts vintage and modern, current rookie chase cards, Notre Dame and Big Ten college product, and 1960s through 1980s NFL that Hamilton County dealers seem to hold in unusual quantity. Baseball is the deepest category overall, with Topps and Bowman runs from the 1950s forward, Reds and Cubs boxes that get worked hard, and Bowman Chrome prospect material for people playing the long game. Basketball is Pacers-heavy with IU and Purdue alumni cards mixed in. Beyond the big four you will find UFC, boxing, soccer, racing and Indy 500 material. Modern releases cover Prizm, Optic, Select, Mosaic, Topps Chrome and Bowman Draft, and the locked cases hold PSA, BGS, SGC and CGC slabs across price tiers. Trading card game tables carry Pokemon, Magic: The Gathering, Yu-Gi-Oh! and One Piece singles, and several dealers run genuine dollar and quarter boxes worth the dig.
Hours are 9:00 AM to 3:00 PM Eastern. Admission is free, parking in the lodge lot is free, and kids attend free. The lodge typically has drinks and light food available.
Moose Lodge #540 is located at 950 Field Drive, Noblesville, IN 46060, just off State Road 37 with easy access from Fishers, Westfield, Carmel and Anderson. The building is single-level with wide doors and a large flat lot, which makes it easy for both dealers loading tables and attendees hauling a rolling case. Downtown Noblesville, five minutes south, has a good cluster of restaurants around the courthouse square for lunch afterward.
The show fits set builders, vintage hunters and family groups best. Because it is a monthly with a stable dealer roster, relationships matter — regulars get first look at fresh material, and it does not take many visits to become a regular. If you are chasing a specific run or team, tell dealers what you want and they will often bring it next month. Serious high-end buyers will find several cases worth working but should not expect a National-level top end.
To get the most out of the September date, arrive at 9:00 AM when the fall restock is untouched. Bring cash in twenties and smaller — many dealers here discount for cash even when they accept Venmo. Carry a want list sorted by sport and set, penny sleeves, top loaders and a box. Do a full lap before spending, and bundle purchases from one dealer into a single negotiated price.
