The Murfreesboro Ramada Inn Baseball Card Show is back on June 20, giving Middle Tennessee collectors a second chance in June to work the Ramada room, revisit dealer inventory, and keep local want lists moving. For anyone who missed the first June date or left with a card still on their mind, this follow-up Saturday can be a useful reset before the next month of shows begins.
The show takes place at Ramada by Wyndham Murfreesboro, a straightforward I-24 hotel stop that works well for a focused card morning. The venue is close enough for collectors coming from Nashville, Smyrna, Franklin, Lebanon, Shelbyville, and other parts of Middle Tennessee, while the hotel's official page notes meeting space and parking for trucks, buses, RVs, and motorcycles.
A Full Day of Cards & Collectibles
The Murfreesboro Ramada Inn Baseball Card Show is most useful for collectors who enjoy hunting sports cards in person. The show name points directly at baseball cards, but a recurring local card room can also be a good place to look for football, basketball, vintage, modern rookies, graded slabs, raw singles, team lots, set needs, and lower-dollar finds that are easier to judge when they are sitting in front of you.
Because this is the second listed June date, collectors can treat it differently from a one-time event. If you attended earlier in the month, this is a chance to see whether dealers refreshed boxes, brought different slabs, adjusted prices, or still have the card you passed on. If June 20 is your first stop, it is still a practical way to sample the local room without paying admission or committing to a full convention day.
Secondary listings for the show series mention 40+ vendor tables and possible trading card game or mixed collectible inventory. Those details are helpful, but the safest expectation remains a sports cards-forward show where other categories depend on the dealer mix that morning. Collectors looking for Pokemon, broader TCGs, memorabilia, or mixed collectibles may want to browse with an open mind rather than a guarantee.
More Than Just a Card Show
The Murfreesboro Ramada Inn Baseball Card Show has the kind of continuity that matters in a hobby built on relationships. Public notes say John McGill and Jay Deaton started the show in Murfreesboro in 1988, and current listings describe it as the longest running continual baseball card show in America. That history helps explain why the show can be useful even without convention-style extras.
The recurring schedule is part of the value. The 2026 flyer lists first-and-third-Saturday dates all year, giving collectors 24 planned chances to stop in, follow up, sell, trade, ask questions, and build familiarity with the local dealer base. For serious collectors, that regular rhythm can matter as much as table count because the best opportunities often come from repeated conversations.
June 20 also lands on a busy Tennessee card weekend, with other regional shows around the same dates. That can make the Ramada show especially useful as an early stop for collectors planning a broader hobby weekend, or as a lower-key alternative for anyone who wants a simple morning built around cards, conversation, and free admission.
A Show for All Levels of Collectors
New collectors can use the Murfreesboro Ramada Inn Baseball Card Show to learn the basics in a low-pressure setting. Walking tables makes it easier to compare centering, corners, surfaces, labels, and price differences across similar cards, especially if you are still learning how to judge raw condition or decide when a graded copy is worth the premium.
Casual collectors can browse favorite teams, childhood players, inexpensive rookies, bargain boxes, and nostalgic pieces without needing a rigid plan. More experienced collectors can bring recent comps, cash, trade material, and a short list of targets so they can move quickly when a dealer has something worth a closer look.
Families should also find the format approachable because admission is free and the show does not require a full-day commitment. If you are bringing a younger collector, a few dollars for bargain boxes and a short want list can make the room feel more manageable. If you are buying seriously, give yourself time for a second lap before leaving; at local shows, the card you remember after walking away is often the one worth checking again.
