The Pikes Peak Card Show rolls into its November date on Saturday, November 7, 2026, at the Norris Penrose Event Center, and for many Colorado Springs collectors this is the strategic show of the year — the one where holiday shopping meets peak hobby season. With the NFL season at full throttle, the NBA and NHL underway, and the holidays a few weeks out, the November floor is traditionally one of the busiest of the series' year-round schedule.
Southern Colorado's longest-running card and collectibles show once again brings 150-plus vendor tables to the event center. Expect the deepest football selection of the year as the season's breakout rookies drive demand, alongside basketball and hockey singles, baseball vintage, soccer, UFC, and boxing. The trading card game section is a holiday shopper's dream: Pokemon sealed product and singles, Magic: The Gathering, Yu-Gi-Oh!, One Piece, Lorcana, and Dragon Ball Z, much of it priced to move before the year ends. Graded slabs from PSA, BGS, CGC, and SGC fill the showcases, and the floor rounds out with autographed memorabilia, Star Wars collectibles, Funko Pops, comics, vintage toys, and supply dealers stocking sleeves, toploaders, and gift-ready storage boxes.
Hours are Saturday from 9:00 AM to 4:00 PM, one day only. Admission is free and parking is free, so bringing the whole family costs nothing but what you choose to spend at the tables. The Norris Penrose Event Center sits on Lower Gold Camp Road on the southwest side of Colorado Springs, minutes from downtown, with a big on-site lot and an indoor, weather-proof floor — no small consideration for a Colorado November.
This date draws every collector profile. Holiday shoppers can knock out gifts for the collectors in their lives, from starter Pokemon bundles to graded grails. Families get a free Saturday activity with dollar boxes for the kids. Serious collectors and investors work the showcases for graded inventory before the December price bumps that often accompany the holidays, and anyone looking to sell will find dealers flush and actively buying to restock for their own holiday sales — often the strongest selling window of the year.
Show-day tips: arrive at 9:00 AM sharp, as the combination of holiday buyers and hot rookie markets means the best cards move faster in November than at any other show. Bring cash and a want list, and set a budget before you walk in — the November floor is famously tempting. If you are gift shopping, ask dealers about sealed product with good resale reputations, and grab supplies while you are there so everything is protected before it goes under the tree.
