HILTON GARDEN INN Sports Card Show — Nov 14, 2026

HILTON GARDEN INN Sports Card Show is a recurring sports card show held at the Hilton Garden Inn in Knoxville. It runs on Saturdays through the year and is aimed at collectors who want a hotel-sized room for buying, selling and trading sports cards.

Dates and format

The show meets about once a month, nearly always on a Saturday. The run covers both completed and upcoming dates.

Admission was free for the first three dates and has been charged from September on; the amount varies by edition, so check the door price before you go.

History

The earliest dates in the run are May 30, June 27 and July 25, 2026, each a Saturday with free admission. After a gap in August, the show returned on September 26 and added an October 10 date, a two-week gap that makes it the closest pair in the series. The calendar now extends to November 14 and December 12, which keeps the show on a roughly monthly rhythm into the holidays.

Getting there

All dates are held at the Hilton Garden Inn in Knoxville, so the venue stays the same from edition to edition. As with most hotel shows, plan on the hotel's own parking and a short walk to the event room.

Who it suits

The show fits collectors who prefer a smaller hotel setting to a convention-hall floor, and anyone in the Knoxville area looking for a regular Saturday date focused on sports cards. The free-admission dates earlier in the year have given way to a paid door, so budget a small entry fee for the fall and winter shows.
