The January edition of The SHOW - Sports Cards & Pokemon returns to Sisk Memorial Baptist Church in Fort Mill, South Carolina on Saturday, January 23, 2027, from 9:00 AM to 4:00 PM. This is the new-year installment of the recurring Fort Mill show, and it lands in the sweet spot after the holidays when collectors have gift cards to spend, duplicates to trade and fresh want lists for the year ahead. Fort Mill is twenty minutes south of uptown Charlotte on I-77 and minutes from Rock Hill, Tega Cay, Indian Land and Ballantyne.
The January room keeps the show's signature split between sports cards and Pokémon. Sports dealers bring MLB, NBA, NFL and NHL with plenty of Carolina Panthers and Charlotte Hornets, and because late January is deep in the NFL playoffs and NBA season, expect strong football and basketball stock: Panini Prizm, Select, Mosaic and Optic rookies, plus Topps Chrome and Bowman Chrome for baseball collectors gearing up for spring training. Vintage Topps and junk-wax boxes serve set builders, and graded PSA, BGS, SGC and CGC slabs fill the showcases. UFC, boxing and soccer appear on a few tables. Pokémon dealers carry singles from vintage through the newest Scarlet and Violet releases, sealed booster boxes and elite trainer boxes, and graded PSA and CGC slabs. Magic: The Gathering, Yu-Gi-Oh!, One Piece and Disney Lorcana usually take a table or two, and supplies are available.
This is a one-day Saturday show. Doors open at 9:00 AM and the room closes at 4:00 PM.
Admission was not published for this date; The SHOW has historically run as a low-cost or donation-based church-hall event with children free. Confirm on the show page before you go. Sisk Memorial Baptist Church has a large free parking lot a few minutes from the I-77 Gold Hill Road and Carowinds Boulevard exits.
Who should attend? Collectors on the south side of the metro starting a new year of collecting, Pokémon families, football and basketball rookie hunters, sports set builders, and dealers looking to buy the duplicates collectors received over the holidays. Because the show runs regularly here, it is a good place to establish a relationship with local dealers who will source cards for you through the year.
Tips: arrive at 9:00 AM for first pick, bring cash and an updated want list, and pack sleeves, top loaders and a slab case. Bring holiday duplicates to trade or sell; January is a buying month for dealers. Do a full lap before committing, and use the final hour for offers.
Late January also tends to be quiet on the regional calendar, so The SHOW draws collectors from across the metro rather than just the south side, and dealer turnout is strong. Carowinds and the Fort Mill shops are minutes away if you want to make a longer day of it.
