Cards & Collectibles Show is a three-day Franklin, Tennessee collector event from Collect X Conventions, built around vendor tables, trading cards, collectibles, and in-person hobby browsing. The event listing highlights more than 150 tables, with grading submissions and authentication submissions planned on site.
The show takes place at Embassy Suites by Hilton Franklin Cool Springs, giving collectors in the Nashville and Middle Tennessee area a larger weekend stop for cards, collectibles, and show-floor conversations. VIP hours start earlier each day, while general admission opens later for all ticket holders.
A Full Day of Cards & Collectibles
Collectors can expect a broad show floor with vendors offering sports cards, Pokemon, other TCGs, and mixed collectibles. With 150+ tables promoted for the weekend, this should be the kind of event where attendees can move between display cases, raw singles, graded slabs, sealed product, bargain boxes, and collectible booths without having to rush through the room.
The flyer and event details point to a mix of sports cards and TCGs, which makes the show useful for collectors with different priorities. Some attendees may be chasing baseball, basketball, football, or modern rookies, while others may be looking for Pokemon singles, sealed boxes, or crossover collectibles. As always at vendor-driven shows, exact inventory depends on the sellers in the room, but the event is clearly positioned as a card and collectibles weekend rather than a narrow single-category show.
More Than Just a Card Show
The added services are part of the draw. The official listing says grading submissions and authentication submissions are expected on site, which can help collectors who want to ask questions, start a submission, or get advice while they already have cards and memorabilia in hand.
Saturday also includes a trade night after show hours, giving collectors another reason to make a weekend of it. Trade nights can be a good setting for relaxed deal-making, comparing cards outside the busier table flow, and meeting other hobbyists who collect the same players, teams, sets, or games. The Eventbrite listing notes this is an all-ages, in-person event with free parking. The flyer says kids 10 and under get in free, but Eventbrite currently lists free admission for ages 9 and under, so the flyer may be outdated. Based on the latest details, kids 9 and under should get in free. At the time of writing, there’s also a 2-for-1 deal for anyone 10 and up, so you can bring a friend along for free.
A Show for All Levels of Collectors
Beginners can use Cards & Collectibles Show as a low-pressure way to learn the hobby in person, ask vendors about condition, and see the difference between raw cards, slabs, sealed product, and collectibles. Families can browse at their own pace, and the kids-free note on the flyer makes the weekend easier to consider for a hobby outing.
More experienced collectors get the advantages that online buying cannot fully replace: checking surfaces and corners in hand, comparing multiple copies, negotiating face to face, and seeing what local and regional sellers are bringing to Franklin. For collectors who enjoy the hunt, a multi-day room with VIP entry windows, general admission hours, and a trade night offers several ways to approach the weekend.
Final Thoughts
Cards & Collectibles Show is shaping up to be a strong weekend for collectors in Franklin, Nashville, and the surrounding Middle Tennessee area. If you attend, let the organizer or other attendees know you found the show on Card Show Dex, and stay tuned for more upcoming events across Tennessee.
