The SoCo Card Show returns to the Pueblo Community College Ballroom on Saturday, November 14, 2026 for the fall edition of Southern Colorado's busiest free-admission trading card weekend in Pueblo. Hosted at 900 West Orman Avenue just off I-25 in Pueblo — about 45 miles south of Colorado Springs and 110 miles south of Denver — this 90-plus table Saturday-only show fills the PCC ballroom with one of the most accessible trading card events in the entire I-25 corridor. Mid-November timing puts the show in the middle of NFL Week 11, the front end of the NBA regular season, the second month of the NHL season, and the run-up to Thanksgiving week — when families are starting holiday gift hunting and dealers are pricing inventory specifically for stocking-stuffer and gift-set demand.
The vendor floor covers every corner of the trading card hobby. Sports tables stock deep MLB, NBA, NFL, NHL, UFC, boxing, MMA, soccer, and college football across every era — vintage Topps, Bowman, Fleer, Goudey, Play Ball, and pre-war tobacco issues from the early 1900s through the 1980s, junk-wax 1990s monster boxes, and modern Panini Prizm, Donruss Optic, Select, Mosaic, Topps Chrome, Bowman Draft, and premium Topps Dynasty, National Treasures, Flawless, and Immaculate. Local-team inventory is heavy on Colorado Rockies, Denver Nuggets, Denver Broncos, Colorado Avalanche, Colorado Buffaloes, Colorado State Pueblo ThunderWolves, and Air Force Falcons. The SoCo show also pulls vendors from Albuquerque, Santa Fe, and Trinidad/Raton on the way north, so there's a strong New Mexico crossover with Lobos and Aggies inventory you won't see at Denver shows. TCG tables stock Pokemon singles and sealed product from vintage WOTC Base through modern Scarlet & Violet, plus Magic: The Gathering, Yu-Gi-Oh!, One Piece TCG, Disney Lorcana, Dragon Ball Z Fusion World, Star Wars Unlimited, and Flesh and Blood. Locked cases display PSA, BGS, SGC, and CGC graded slabs, and "The Shoppe" Sports Cards and Collectibles typically runs an on-site certified PSA grading drop-off submission station.
Doors open at 9:00 AM Mountain and run to 4:00 PM Mountain — seven full hours that lets you work the room top-to-bottom, hit a midday lunch break, and circle back for the final hour negotiation push. General admission is completely free for all ages and there is no formal VIP early-entry, so the door open is the door open for everyone. Free parking surrounds the campus lot. Kids are warmly welcomed and dealers regularly hand out free packs and base singles to younger collectors. A small on-site snack bar handles light meals and drinks.
Pueblo Community College sits at 900 West Orman Avenue, Pueblo, CO 81004, easily reached via the Northern Avenue exit off I-25. The ballroom is climate-controlled, ADA-accessible, and laid out with wide aisles. Free parking covers the surrounding campus lot. Pueblo's Historic Arkansas Riverwalk and a strong slope of local restaurants — Bingo Burger, Mill Stop Cafe, Brues Alehouse, and the legendary slopper-style green chile diners along Northern Avenue — make this an easy day-trip for Colorado Springs collectors. The drive south on I-25 is roughly 45 minutes from downtown Colorado Springs in light traffic.
This show fits every collector profile — first-timers, families, casual fans, modern flippers, prospect hunters, vintage diggers, and Pokemon and TCG players. For the best experience, arrive at 9:00 AM sharp for first dibs on freshly-stocked dealer tables, bring cash plus Venmo, Zelle, and PayPal backups, and carry a sorted want list. Pack penny sleeves, top loaders, and a hard-sided slab case.
