The Overtime Sports Collectible Card Show comes to Tucson on Saturday, October 3, 2026 for a single-day fall sports-card-focused show packed with dealer tables of MLB, NBA, NFL, NHL, UFC, boxing, MMA, soccer, and college football inventory. This one-day Saturday event consistently pulls collectors driving in from Tucson, Marana, Oro Valley, Vail, Sahuarita, Green Valley, Catalina Foothills, Casas Adobes, Tanque Verde, plus the I-10 corridor from Phoenix, Casa Grande, Nogales, and across the New Mexico state line. Early-October timing locks the show into the front of the NFL regular season hobby cycle — 2026 Panini Prizm Football, Donruss Optic Football, Score Football, and Topps Chrome Football are racked and ripe for ripping — alongside MLB Postseason, the back of the NBA preseason, and Arizona Wildcats home football. October is historically one of the strongest months of the entire year for football-card velocity, and Overtime Sports is a sports-card-specialist show that leans hard into that window.
The vendor floor packs sports-first inventory across every era. Vintage tables stock Topps, Bowman, Fleer, Goudey, and pre-war tobacco runs from the early 1900s through the 1980s — including the 1952 Topps Mickey Mantle hot-list staples, T206 tobacco-era cards, 1957 Topps football, 1969 Topps baseball, and high-grade 1986 Fleer Michael Jordan rookies. Junk-wax 1990s monster boxes of Donruss, Score, Upper Deck, and Fleer are stacked deep for under-priced finds. Modern tables stock Panini Prizm, Donruss Optic, Select, Mosaic, Contenders, National Treasures, Flawless, and Immaculate Football and Basketball, alongside Topps Chrome, Topps Heritage, Bowman Draft, and premium Topps Dynasty and Five Star Baseball. Arizona Wildcats basketball and football, Arizona Diamondbacks, Arizona Cardinals, Phoenix Suns, Phoenix Mercury, Las Vegas Raiders, Vegas Golden Knights, Los Angeles Dodgers, San Diego Padres, and historic Tucson Toros minor league inventory moves consistently. Locked cases display PSA, BGS, SGC, and CGC graded slabs alongside autographed jerseys, signed photos, helmets, baseballs, and bobbleheads.
Doors open Saturday, October 3 from 10:00 AM MST to 5:00 PM MST. General admission is typically $5 to $10 at the door, with kids 12 and under admitted free with a paying adult — confirm exact admission and any VIP early-entry options through tcgshowsnearme.com or the event listing closer to show day. Door-prize raffles run hourly throughout the day with prizes donated by participating vendors — graded rookie cards, sealed football and basketball boxes, and signed memorabilia are common giveaways.
The venue address and parking details are confirmed on the event listing at tcgshowsnearme.com — confirm before traveling. Most one-day Tucson sports card shows are climate-controlled — essential for an October Tucson Saturday when daytime temperatures can still reach the mid-90s — ADA-accessible, and laid out with wide aisles. Free parking is typically available in the on-site venue lot, and the surrounding area has plenty of grab-and-go food options within five minutes.
This show fits every sports-card collector type — first-timers, families, casual fans, modern football flippers, prospect hunters, vintage hunters, autograph chasers, breakers, and serious dealers. For the best experience, arrive at 10:00 AM sharp for first dibs on freshly-stocked dealer tables, bring cash plus Venmo, Zelle, and PayPal backups, and carry a sorted want list — football rookie classes drive the early-October room. Pack penny sleeves, top loaders, and a hard-sided slab case. Save the last forty-five minutes for negotiation — dealers cut prices before tearing down at 5:00 PM.
