The Noblesville Card Show wraps up its 2026 run at Moose Lodge #540 on Saturday, December 12, 2026. The December date is the show's holiday edition in everything but name — dealers bring gift-friendly inventory, the room fills with parents and grandparents who do not attend the other eleven months, and the atmosphere is noticeably warmer than a normal Saturday morning. For regulars, it is also the last chance of the year to work the boxes before the circuit goes quiet until late January.
The inventory mix tilts slightly toward accessible material in December without losing depth. Baseball dealers still bring Topps and Bowman runs from the 1950s onward, plus Fleer and Donruss, complete sets, star singles and well-organized commons. Football is at peak seasonal demand — Colts inventory, current rookies, vintage NFL and Notre Dame and Big Ten college product. Basketball centers on Pacers history and the NBA season in progress, with IU, Purdue and Butler alumni cards in supporting roles. Hockey, soccer, UFC, boxing, racing and Indy 500 memorabilia round out the sports side. Modern releases cover Panini Prizm, Donruss Optic, Select, Mosaic, Topps Chrome and Bowman Draft. Locked cases hold PSA, BGS, SGC and CGC slabs across a range of price points, and several tables carry Pokemon, Magic: The Gathering, Yu-Gi-Oh! and One Piece singles that move quickly as gifts. The dollar and quarter boxes get a December restock specifically for people building inexpensive presents.
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, and the December show usually has a more social feel than the rest of the calendar.
Moose Lodge #540 is at 950 Field Drive, Noblesville, IN 46060, just off State Road 37 with easy access from Fishers, Westfield, Carmel, Anderson and the north side of Indianapolis. The building is single-level, heated, with wide doors and a large flat lot — genuinely convenient in December when nobody wants to carry boxes across an icy parking lot. Downtown Noblesville and the courthouse square are five minutes south with a good restaurant cluster for lunch.
This show serves set builders, vintage hunters, families and holiday shoppers. If you are buying for a young collector, the December edition is the single best date on this show's calendar — tell a dealer your budget and they will build a lot that looks far more impressive than what the same money buys at retail. Serious buyers benefit from dealers who would rather sell than store inventory over the winter break.
To make the most of it, arrive at 9:00 AM for first pick of the holiday restock. Bring cash in twenties and smaller — many dealers discount for cash even when they accept Venmo, and the discount tends to be larger in December. Carry a want list, penny sleeves, top loaders and a carrying box. Do a full lap before spending, bundle purchases from one dealer into a single negotiated price, and ask about anything unpriced.
