The NOLA Card Show returns to the Pontchartrain Convention and Civic Center in Kenner, Louisiana, on Saturday, April 19, 2026, for another exciting day of buying, selling, and trading sports cards and memorabilia. Hosted by House of Cards NOLA, one of the most respected names in the Gulf South collecting community, this monthly show has become a must-attend gathering for hobbyists throughout the greater New Orleans metro area.

Attendees will find dozens of vendor tables loaded with sports cards spanning every major league including MLB, NBA, NFL, NHL, UFC, and soccer. Expect to see everything from freshly ripped wax to high-end PSA and BGS graded slabs, vintage Hall of Fame rookie cards, autographed memorabilia, game-used jersey cards, hobby boxes, and retail blasters. Several vendors also carry a selection of Pokemon, Magic: The Gathering, and Yu-Gi-Oh! cards for TCG enthusiasts who want to browse beyond the sports card world. Funko Pops, comics, and other pop culture collectibles often make appearances at vendor tables as well.
The show runs from 10:00 AM to 3:00 PM on Saturday. Doors open promptly at ten, and experienced collectors know that arriving right at the start gives you the best shot at first picks on newly listed inventory. Admission is free, making this one of the most accessible card shows in the region. There is no need to purchase tickets in advance — simply show up and enjoy the show. Free parking is available in the Pontchartrain Center lot off Williams Boulevard, and the venue is conveniently located just minutes from Louis Armstrong New Orleans International Airport and Interstate 10.
This show is perfect for families, first-time collectors, and experienced dealers alike. Kids are welcome, and many vendors are happy to help younger collectors find affordable singles and starter cards.
