The Duuuval Card Show gives Jacksonville collectors two ways to start the weekend: an afternoon and evening visit on Friday or a longer daytime session on Saturday. This November edition centers on buying, selling, and trading, with free admission making it easy to plan either a focused stop or a more leisurely visit.
The setting is the Adam W. Herbert University Center on the University of North Florida campus. For a first visit, the important distinction is the destination: head to the University Center on Alumni Drive, rather than choosing a general campus arrival point. The venue’s own directions identify the building and its event parking, helping make the last part of the trip more straightforward.
A Full Day of Cards & Collectibles
The Series 11 flyer advertises 150 tables, giving this edition a substantial browsing footprint. Treat that as the advertised size of the show, rather than a count of individual dealers. A table count does not tell you exactly how many separate inventories will be represented, and the items available will depend on what exhibitors bring.
The organizer highlights sports cards and Pokémon, while the flyer also points toward One Piece. That combination gives collectors with different interests a reason to explore the same room. It does not establish a particular dealer lineup, set selection, or product availability, so anyone traveling for one specific item should avoid assuming it will be there.
Buying, selling, and trading are all part of the advertised format. If selling or trading is your main reason for attending, start by finding out which exhibitors are interested in what you brought. Participation in a trading-focused show does not mean every table buys collections or accepts trades, and a conversation about those preferences can save time before you unpack.
The two sessions also have different practical uses. Friday runs from the afternoon into the evening, making it an option for an after-work visit. Saturday starts in the morning and closes earlier in the day. Choose the session around how much time you want on the floor, and check the correct day’s hours before leaving rather than assuming both days follow the same schedule.
More Than Just a Card Show
A charity raffle is part of the organizer’s promotion, and the November flyer advertises giveaways on both days. These add another reason to pay attention to announcements once you arrive. Drawing times, prize details, and participation terms are not publicly listed at this time, so ask about the process at the event before planning your visit around a particular drawing.
Free parking accompanies the free-entry format. The University Center confirms complimentary parking for its program participants, which supports the show’s parking announcement. That benefit applies to attending the University Center event; if you plan to visit other campus buildings afterward, check the university’s separate parking requirements.
For the final approach, UNF’s directions route drivers from Alumni Drive onto Holzendorf Drive and then into the Herbert University Center parking lot. The building is straight ahead, with a passenger drop-off area identified in the directions. Use the venue’s official driving directions to choose the approach that fits your starting point, especially if this is your first trip to this part of campus.
A Show for All Levels of Collectors
For newcomers, this event offers a way to see how a multi-category card show works without paying an admission charge. You can spend your first visit learning which tables match your interests and how exhibitors handle purchases or trades. There is no need to turn an initial walk around the room into an immediate buying decision.
Collectors arriving with a specific goal can use the two-day format to organize their time. If your availability is limited, prioritize the category or transaction that brought you out. If you plan to attend both sessions, remember that Friday’s conversations do not guarantee an item will remain available Saturday unless you make a clear arrangement directly with its seller.
Families and groups with different collecting interests may appreciate the combination of sports cards, Pokémon, and the flyer’s One Piece emphasis. Keep expectations centered on browsing and trading rather than assuming there are scheduled games, children’s activities, or appearances. The advertised raffle and giveaways are additional features, with their operating details best checked on arrival.
Final Thoughts
The Duuuval Card Show brings Jacksonville and the surrounding area a free November weekend built around the local card community. Choose the session that suits your schedule, navigate specifically to the University Center, and leave room to explore beyond your first stop. If you attend, let the organizer or other attendees know you found the show on Card Show Dex, and stay tuned for more events across Florida.
