Wax and Draft — Sports, TCG & More closes out Thanksgiving weekend at Infusion Brewing Company on Sunday, November 29, 2026, and the November edition doubles as the unofficial start of Omaha's holiday card-shopping season. After the turkey, the football, and the Black Friday chaos, a Sunday afternoon browsing dealer tables with a craft beer in hand is the collector's way to land the holiday weekend.
The series formula stays winningly simple: real card dealers inside a working brewery, free entry, and a room that mixes serious hobby inventory with a social taproom atmosphere. Sports tables carry MLB, NFL, NBA, and NHL singles — with football inventory peaking as playoff races come into focus — plus graded slabs, autographs, numbered parallels, and sealed wax. On the TCG side, expect Pokemon, Magic: The Gathering, Yu-Gi-Oh!, One Piece, and Lorcana singles and sealed product. November is when sealed boxes start disappearing into gift wrap across the hobby, so dealers stock accordingly, and buyers hunting holiday gifts will find more sealed options on tables at this edition than almost any other month.
Hours run 11:00 AM to 4:00 PM with free admission. Infusion Brewing Company backs the show with its full taproom: house-brewed beers, non-alcoholic options, food, and plenty of seating, with free parking nearby. Families are welcome, and the brewery format means the non-collectors in your group have somewhere comfortable to be while you dig.
The holiday timing shapes who shows up and why. Gift shoppers come for sealed product, graded cards, and supplies; out-of-town relatives visiting for Thanksgiving wander in with local collectors; and sellers arrive with binders, hoping to turn cardboard into holiday cash. Dealers know all of this, which keeps the room active and the negotiating friendly. If you have a collector on your gift list and no idea what to buy, this show solves the problem in an hour — tell any dealer the budget and the sport or game, and you will walk out with something better than anything at retail.
Every kind of collector fits here: families with kids starting their first binder, league TCG players restocking, set builders, investors comparing slab prices, and complete beginners who want to see what the hobby is about without an admission fee standing in the way.
Make the most of it: come at 11:00 AM if you want first pick — holiday-month inventory moves fast, and sealed product especially can be gone by early afternoon. Bring cash for the best deals, a want list to stay focused, and gift ideas for anyone you are shopping for. The last hour remains the traditional bargaining window, when dealers would rather discount than repack. If you miss this date, the series wraps its year on December 27; between the two, the November show has the better sealed selection and the December show the better post-holiday deals.
