The Oklahoma Card Show returns to the Oklahoma Expo Hall on the State Fairgrounds for its October weekend, Saturday and Sunday, October 24–25, 2026. This is the recurring anchor show of the Oklahoma City calendar — the one out-of-state dealers plan routes around and local collectors treat as a standing appointment. The Expo Hall gives it the square footage a real card show needs: long straight aisles, hundreds of feet of table frontage, and enough room that a busy Saturday still feels navigable rather than shoulder-to-shoulder.
The floor is comprehensive. Sports dealers bring MLB, NBA, NFL, NHL, UFC, boxing, MMA, soccer and golf across every era — pre-war tobacco and Goudey issues in the premium cases, vintage Topps, Bowman, Fleer and Donruss from the 1950s through the 1980s, mountains of 1990s junk-wax priced for dollar-box digging, and deep modern inventory across Panini Prizm, Donruss Optic, Select, Mosaic, Topps Chrome, Topps Chrome Update and Bowman Draft, with National Treasures, Flawless, Immaculate and Topps Dynasty locked in the high-end cases. Late October is a genuine sweet spot: college and pro football are mid-season, the NBA has just tipped off, and World Series buzz keeps baseball moving. Thunder, Sooners, Oklahoma State, Cowboys, Chiefs, Rangers and Astros inventory is deepest. TCG vendors carry Pokémon singles and sealed from vintage Wizards of the Coast through modern Scarlet & Violet and Japanese exclusives, plus Magic: The Gathering, Yu-Gi-Oh!, One Piece Card Game, Disney Lorcana, Dragon Ball Z Fusion World and Star Wars Unlimited. Graded PSA, BGS, SGC and CGC slabs, autographed memorabilia, game-used relics, signed jerseys and balls, vintage comics, Funko Pops and full lines of hobby supplies fill the remaining space.
Saturday hours run 10:00 AM to roughly 5:00 PM CDT and Sunday runs 10:00 AM to roughly 4:00 PM CDT. Admission is typically around five dollars for adults with children twelve and under free alongside a paying adult, collected at the door; weekend passes and early-entry dealer windows are sometimes offered. Door prizes and pack giveaways are drawn across both days.
The Oklahoma Expo Hall sits on the Oklahoma State Fairgrounds at 3001 General Pershing Boulevard, about ten minutes west of downtown OKC with direct access from I-44, I-40 and the Lake Hefner Parkway. Parking on the fairgrounds is free and abundant, the hall is single-level, ADA-accessible and climate-controlled, and load-in is as painless as it gets in the state.
This show works for everyone: vintage buyers chasing graded material, modern flippers and breakers, set builders, TCG players, families and complete first-timers. Its scale is the point — you will see inventory here that never surfaces at the smaller metro shops shows.
For the best experience, arrive right at the Saturday 10:00 AM door for first pick, bring cash plus Venmo and Zelle backups, and carry a want list sorted by sport, player and TCG title. Do a full lap before buying anything so you know what the floor holds and what the going rate is. Pack penny sleeves, top loaders and a hard-sided case for slabs, and bring a rolling case if you plan to buy volume. Save the final two hours Sunday for negotiating, when dealers deal rather than repack. Watch the fairgrounds event calendar and the show's social pages for vendor previews and table maps.
