TruPlayerz closes out its fall series with a show on Saturday, November 21, 2026, from 9:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. at its Rosemount training facility. The late-November date makes this the south metro's convenient holiday shopping stop for anyone with a collector in the family, and it lands the weekend before Thanksgiving when people actually have time to browse rather than trying to squeeze it in during December.
Sports cards remain the focus. Baseball tables carry vintage Topps and Bowman, junk wax boxes, star rookies, complete sets and reliable Minnesota Twins inventory. Football dealers stock Vikings material and current NFL rookies, and by late November the season has sorted out which rookies people actually want. Hockey is deep here in a way it simply is not in most states, with Wild cards, North Stars nostalgia, vintage O-Pee-Chee and local junior and college material. Basketball, college and combat sports fill in. Graded slabs, raw star cards, unopened wax, repack products, team sets, autographed baseballs, jerseys and photos are all on the floor, and several vendors carry Pokemon, Magic: The Gathering and Yu-Gi-Oh! singles and sealed product for crossover buyers.
Admission is free with no ticket, no registration and no early-entry tier. The show runs a compact six hours, which keeps energy high from open to close. Parking is free directly outside the entrance.
TruPlayerz sits at 15641 Canada Circle in Rosemount, in the light industrial area off Highway 3 and County Road 42, roughly thirty minutes south of downtown Saint Paul. The venue is a turf and court sports training center that clears its floor for show days, producing a wide open indoor space with high ceilings, level footing and generous aisle width. It is fully climate controlled with on-site restrooms, which matters in November, and it handles strollers and wheelchairs without difficulty. Rosemount, Apple Valley, Eagan, Farmington, Lakeville, Burnsville and Inver Grove Heights collectors all have short drives.
The show is well suited to set builders, player collectors and anyone who prefers a room where a real conversation with a dealer is possible. There is no shouting over crowds and no waiting three deep to ask about a card. Because the venue's normal business is youth sports training, the show is genuinely family friendly, and there is enough dollar-box and bargain-bin material for kids to buy something meaningful without a parent spending much. It is also a practical gift-shopping stop, with plenty of graded and sealed material in accessible price ranges.
Six hours goes quickly, so move with purpose. Walk the whole floor first and note who has what, then circle back to negotiate. Bundling several cards from one dealer nearly always beats buying them one at a time. Bring cash, a written want list and supplies for anything raw you buy. If you are selling, arrive with your material sorted and a walkaway number in mind, since several dealers here buy and organized sellers get better offers.
