The Sports Cards and More Show continues its Maryville schedule in July with another free-admission Saturday for collectors. Presented by Crosstown Collections Sports Cards, the show gives local hobby fans a place to browse sports cards, Pokémon, and mixed collectibles without needing to make a long trip or plan around a large convention weekend.
Hosted at American Legion Post 13, the July date fits nicely into the middle of summer collecting season. Baseball is deep into its yearly rhythm, football collectors are starting to look ahead, and families still have time for a local hobby outing before back-to-school routines begin creeping closer.
A Full Day of Cards & Collectibles
The confirmed draw for the Sports Cards and More Show is a local room built around sports cards and Pokémon. For sports collectors, that can mean digging for baseball singles, rookie cards, team lots, vintage pieces, modern stars, slabs, inserts, numbered cards, and lower-cost finds that are easy to miss online. A July show is also a natural time to revisit players who have heated up during the season or to start thinking about football cards before the fall rush.
For Pokémon collectors, the in-person format can be just as useful. Condition matters, and being able to compare copies, flip through binders, and ask questions before buying is one of the biggest advantages of a local card show. Kids, parents, casual TCG fans, and serious collectors can all approach the tables differently, which helps make the show feel accessible rather than locked into one corner of the hobby.
The flyer also frames the event as a "sports cards and more" show, so mixed collectibles and other TCGs may appear depending on the vendor lineup. Those extras should be treated as possible show-floor finds rather than guaranteed features, but the broader format gives collectors a reason to walk the room even if they are not chasing one exact card.
More Than Just a Card Show
The Sports Cards and More Show stands out because it is a recurring local stop with a simple, community-driven format. Monthly shows can become useful checkpoints: one month might be better for bargain boxes, another for slabs, another for raw singles, and another for conversations with vendors who know what local collectors are asking about.
That rhythm matters in a place like Maryville. Instead of waiting for a major regional event, collectors can keep a closer eye on local inventory, make smaller pickups, and build relationships with nearby dealers. The American Legion setting also matches the organizer's public message about supporting the hobby and veterans, giving the show a local identity beyond buying and selling cards.
Vendor information from the organizer noted available 6-foot tables through Sara Fine by direct message. That pricing is for dealers rather than attendees, but it signals that the monthly show is open to new vendor participation and can continue to change from date to date.
A Show for All Levels of Collectors
New collectors can use the Sports Cards and More Show to learn the basics in a practical way. Looking at centering, corners, print quality, and surface condition in person helps build confidence, especially when comparing raw cards against graded examples or asking vendors how they think about pricing.
Casual collectors can search by team, player, era, character, or budget, while more advanced collectors can hunt for grading candidates, collection upgrades, trade pieces, or cards that fill a specific want list. Families can also make the show part of a summer Saturday, with Pokémon and affordable sports cards offering plenty of lower-pressure entry points.
Because admission is listed as free, the July show is easy to sample. You can stop in, walk the tables, see what changed since the last monthly date, and decide whether anything belongs in your collection.
