SlabCityCards brings its TCG & Sports Cards Show to McIver's Grant Public Library in Dyersburg, Tennessee on Saturday, September 19, 2026. Library-hosted card shows have become one of the quiet success stories of the Mid-South hobby scene — the venues are free or near-free, the atmosphere is welcoming rather than intimidating, and they pull in families and first-time collectors who would never walk into a hotel ballroom event. Dyersburg sits roughly seventy-five miles north of Memphis on Highway 51, making this a comfortable hour-and-change drive for anyone in Shelby County looking for a show off the usual circuit.
The billing puts trading card games first, and the floor reflects that. Pokémon is the anchor: singles from vintage WOTC Base Set, Jungle, and Fossil through current Scarlet & Violet releases, sealed booster boxes and elite trainer boxes, Japanese imports, and bulk bins worth digging through. Magic: The Gathering vendors bring commander staples, modern-legal singles, and sealed product. Yu-Gi-Oh!, One Piece, Disney Lorcana, and Dragon Ball round out the TCG side. Sports dealers cover MLB, NBA, NFL, NHL, UFC, boxing, and soccer across vintage Topps and Bowman, the 1980s and 1990s wax era, and modern Panini Prizm, Optic, Select, and Topps Chrome, with West Tennessee interest running toward the Titans, Grizzlies, Memphis Tigers, Tennessee Volunteers, and St. Louis Cardinals. Expect graded PSA, BGS, SGC, and CGC slabs in locked cases, plus comics, Funko Pops, and supplies at a handful of tables.
The show runs 9:00 AM to 3:00 PM CDT in a single Saturday block. Admission pricing was not confirmed by the organizer at listing time — library-hosted shows in this region are very often free or a nominal one-to-two-dollar entry, and children are typically admitted free, but confirm before you go if that matters to your plans. There is no advance ticketing; walk-in only.
McIver's Grant Public Library is at 204 North Mill Street in downtown Dyersburg, TN 38024. It is a modern facility with accessible entry and a proper event space, and free parking is available in the surrounding downtown lots and on-street. Because it is a working library, expect a somewhat quieter room than a fairgrounds show — bring your indoor voice and your patience for a slower pace.
This one is an excellent fit for families, for kids getting into Pokémon, for collectors who want a low-pressure environment to ask questions, and for TCG players hunting deck pieces without paying online markup. Serious slab hunters should treat it as a supplement rather than a destination — the floor is smaller than Bartlett or Jackson, but SlabCityCards curates tables well and prices tend to be sharp. Bring cash in small bills, a want list broken out by TCG title and set, penny sleeves and top loaders, and a binder if you intend to trade. Arrive at 9:00 AM to beat the family rush that typically fills the room mid-morning. Follow SlabCityCards on social media for vendor lists and any schedule changes.
