The November Trading Card Show returns to the Most Blessed Sacrament Church parish hall on Saturday, November 14, 2026, hitting the calendar at what many south Louisville regulars consider the best-value moment of the entire year. Mid-November is when holiday shopping starts in earnest but before December prices harden, and dealers who want to convert inventory to cash before the year ends are noticeably more flexible on price than they were in September. If you keep a want list and a budget, this is the date to spend it.
The seasonal mix is also at its widest. College basketball has just tipped off, which wakes up Kentucky Wildcats and Louisville Cardinals hoops inventory — always a live category in this market. College football is heading into rivalry weekend. The NFL is past midseason with rookie cards fully priced. Baseball is in its offseason lull, which historically means the sharpest deals of the year on MLB material, both vintage and modern. And the fall trading card game release wave has fully landed, so TCG tables are deep.
Dealer inventory spans the whole hobby. Sports tables run MLB, NBA, NFL, NHL, UFC, boxing, MMA, soccer and college across every era — pre-war tobacco and Goudey issues, 1950s and 1960s Topps and Bowman, 1970s and 1980s Topps, Fleer and Donruss, deeply discounted 1990s junk-wax monster boxes that make excellent inexpensive gifts, and modern Panini Prizm, Donruss Optic, Select, Mosaic, Topps Chrome, Bowman Chrome and Bowman Draft. Premium tables bring Topps Dynasty, National Treasures, Flawless and Immaculate, with PSA, BGS, SGC and CGC graded slabs in locked cases spanning cheap playables to serious vintage grails. Louisville-specific material shows up every month — Muhammad Ali boxing memorabilia, Kentucky Derby and thoroughbred racing collectibles, Louisville Bats minor-league items and deep Cincinnati Reds, Bengals and Indianapolis Colts runs. Trading card game vendors stock Pokémon singles and sealed from WOTC Base, Jungle, Fossil and Team Rocket through Scarlet and Violet and Japanese imports, Magic: The Gathering Commander and Standard staples, Yu-Gi-Oh!, One Piece TCG, Disney Lorcana, Dragon Ball Z Fusion World, Digimon and Star Wars Unlimited. Comics, non-sport sets, Funko Pops, autographed memorabilia and supplies fill the remaining tables.
This is a one-day show running 10:00 AM to 2:00 PM Eastern. The compressed four-hour window means the room is busiest in the first hour and thins noticeably after noon.
Admission is free for all ages with no early-entry or VIP tier. Children enter free and are genuinely welcome — this is a good show for a parent looking to start a kid in the hobby without spending much. Table reservations are arranged with the show host through Louisville hobby Facebook groups.
Most Blessed Sacrament Church sits at 1128 Berry Boulevard, Louisville, KY 40215, in the south end, minutes from I-264 and I-65. The hall is climate-controlled, single-level, ADA-accessible, and free parking is available on site in the church lot.
This edition suits holiday shoppers, families, set builders, casual fans, first-timers and vintage hunters equally well.
Arrive at 10:00 AM, bring cash in small denominations plus Venmo, Zelle and PayPal, and carry a want list sorted by sport, player and TCG set. Pack penny sleeves, top loaders and a hard case, and hold back budget for the final half hour when November sellers are at their most motivated.
