The Hofstra Show is Long Island's premier sports card and autograph weekend, and the fall edition takes over the David S. Mack Sports and Exhibition Complex at Hofstra University in Hempstead on Saturday and Sunday, October 24 and 25, 2026. Run by JP's Sports and Rock Solid Promotions, it combines a large dealer floor with free autograph guest appearances, on-site authentication and grading, and custom framing, making it the closest thing the region has to a national-style convention at a fraction of the price.
Hours by day: Saturday, October 24 runs 10:00 AM to 5:00 PM, and Sunday, October 25 runs 10:00 AM to 4:00 PM. Admission is 15 dollars per day, cash only at the door, and kids under 12 are free with a paid adult. Free autograph guest appearances happen both days with paid admission; autograph tickets for guests are sold on site by cash or credit, with a 3.5 percent fee on card purchases.
The Mack Complex is at 245 Hofstra Northern Boulevard on the Hofstra campus, off Hempstead Turnpike near the Meadowbrook Parkway. Parking is free in the campus lots adjacent to the arena.
