Sports Cards, Comics, TCG & More gives Temple collectors a local Saturday outing before Thanksgiving, bringing sports cards, comic books, and TCGs together under one roof. Organized by Terry Spragg, the November show suits anyone whose collecting interests stretch across more than one category, as well as visitors who want to explore a card show for the first time.
Holiday Inn Temple-Belton is the setting for this stop on the show’s published 2026 calendar. Temple is the actual destination, even though the event appears within the Austin market on Card Show Dex. That distinction matters when planning a drive: set your route for the Temple hotel rather than heading toward an Austin venue.
A Full Day of Cards & Collectibles
The advertised mix is the clearest guide to what this show covers. Sports cards, comic books, and TCGs share the billing, giving a group with different interests a reason to make the same stop. The event does not publish a detailed inventory for each dealer, so the broad categories are more useful than assumptions about particular teams, issues, sets, or individual cards.
For Pokémon collectors, the general TCG focus makes this a show to consider, but it is not a guarantee of a particular game’s selection. If one specific item is the reason for your trip, ask about that item before building the day around it. The same applies to a particular comic issue or a narrowly focused sports cards want list.
The seven-hour public window allows different approaches to the visit. You can plan a shorter browse or leave room for a more deliberate look across the advertised categories. Opening time is a useful arrival target if you want the longest available browsing window, while a later visit should still leave enough time to find the room and look around before closing.
More Than Just a Card Show
This November date belongs to a recurring Temple series. The published annual schedule places it between the October and December occurrences, giving local collectors another opportunity to visit without treating it as a once-a-year convention. Each date is a separate show, so keep the November occurrence in your calendar rather than saving the entire annual schedule as one event.
Free admission and the flyer’s free-parking notice make the visit straightforward to budget. Purchases are separate, of course, but you can attend to browse without adding an admission charge. For a household deciding whether to try a local collectible event, that makes it easier to plan a first look without committing to a full convention outing.
For arrival, use the hotel’s complete name and street address in your navigation app. Temple also has other hotel properties, so searching only for a hotel brand can lead to the wrong destination. Once inside Holiday Inn Temple-Belton, ask where the card and comic show is being held if the meeting-room route is not immediately clear. Hotel check-in hours concern overnight stays and do not determine show entry.
A Show for All Levels of Collectors
A first visit can begin with a simple orientation pass across the categories that interest you. Because comics and cards are both advertised, allow time to see how the room is arranged before settling into one area. That is especially helpful if you are visiting with someone whose collecting interests differ from yours.
For an experienced collector, the value of this mixed format is the chance to examine potential purchases in person. If something catches your attention, ask the seller about its condition and price before handling it. Specific stock will depend on the people exhibiting that day, so a focused search and an open-ended browse are both reasonable ways to approach the visit.
If you hope to sell or trade something, establish whether an individual exhibitor is interested before bringing out your collection. The show’s broad collectible focus should not be read as a promise that every seller buys collections or accepts trades. Likewise, ask sellers which payment methods they accept rather than relying on one method for the whole room.
Before leaving home, check the "Official Source" for any occurrence-specific updates. It is also the place to revisit the annual flyer if you are considering a later Temple date. Save the November details separately so that the neighboring December listing does not get mixed into your plans.
