The River City Card Show returns to the Southbank Hotel Jacksonville Riverwalk on Saturday, November 21, 2026 for a single-day session perfectly timed for holiday shopping. With the gift-buying season ramping up and dealers eager to move inventory before year-end, this November edition is one of the best opportunities of the year to snag graded slabs, sealed product, and curated lots for the collectors in your life — or to treat yourself.
The show floor covers a wide spectrum of the hobby. Sports card dealers bring everything from pre-war tobacco-era issues and golden-age Topps and Bowman through junk-wax-era stars and into the modern era of Panini Prizm, Select, Donruss Optic, Topps Chrome, Bowman Draft, and high-end releases like National Treasures, Flawless, and Immaculate. With the NFL season in full swing, football card inventory peaks — featuring rookies of the current draft class and breakout stars whose values are climbing week by week. MLB, NBA, NHL, UFC, boxing, and soccer are all represented as well. TCG vendors stock Pokémon singles and sealed product spanning vintage Wizards of the Coast cards, current Scarlet & Violet hits, and Japanese imports, alongside Magic: The Gathering, Yu-Gi-Oh!, One Piece, Lorcana, and Dragon Ball Z Fusion World. Graded slabs from PSA, BGS, SGC, and CGC sit in locked cases beside autographed memorabilia, vintage comics, Funko Pops, and hobby supplies.
The show runs from 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM EDT. Admission is free and parking at the Southbank Hotel lot is also free — a standout perk that keeps the River City Card Show accessible to everyone from veteran dealers to first-time collectors and holiday shoppers.
The Southbank Hotel is located at 1515 Prudential Drive, Jacksonville, FL 32207, directly on the Riverwalk with skyline views of downtown Jacksonville across the St. Johns River. The venue is a quick drive from I-95 via the Prudential Drive exit and reachable via the Acosta or Main Street bridges from downtown. Additional street parking and public lots are available nearby. The climate-controlled ballroom is comfortable year-round, and the venue is ADA accessible with on-site restrooms and hotel dining.
November's show attracts a lively cross-section of the hobby community. Holiday shoppers pick up graded slabs, sealed booster boxes, and curated lots as gifts. Serious buyers lock in year-end deals before prices shift with the new calendar year. Families make an outing of it, introducing kids to the hobby with affordable singles and packs. NFL collectors chase rookies and breakout stars, and TCG players stock up on singles for winter regional tournaments at prices that consistently beat online retail.
For the best results, arrive right at 9:00 AM when tables are freshly stocked and selection is widest. Carry cash in small bills, a printed or digital want list, penny sleeves, top loaders, and a box or backpack for transport. Make your first pass through the entire floor to compare pricing before doubling back for purchases. Save the last hour for aggressive end-of-show negotiation, as dealers consistently offer discounts to lighten the drive home.
