Holiday Inn Sports Card Show — Nov 22, 2026

Holiday Inn Sports Card Show is a recurring sports card show held at the Holiday Inn in Wilkes Barre, aimed at collectors and dealers who want a regular hotel-ballroom show for sports cards. It runs roughly once a month, usually on a Sunday, and the 2026 calendar already stretches from late spring into December.

Dates and format

The show meets about monthly, with a gap over late summer between the July and September dates. Sundays dominate the schedule, and every edition is held at the same hotel.

Admission was free through the summer editions and becomes a paid entry from September on, so budget for a door charge at the fall and December dates.

History

The 2026 run began on May 31 and kept a two-week to monthly rhythm through the summer, with free entry at each of the first three dates. After the summer break, the show returned on September 27 with paid admission and has kept that format since. The November 22 and December 13 editions are still ahead, which puts the holiday-season shows on the calendar for collectors shopping for gifts or looking to sell down a box before year's end.

Who it suits

This is a show for sports card collectors in and around Wilkes Barre who want a steady monthly stop rather than a once-a-year event. Vendors looking for a recurring hotel venue with a consistent schedule have a full slate of dates to plan around, and the free summer editions suggest a casual, drop-in crowd. Anyone planning a visit should expect a single-hotel setting rather than a large convention floor.
