The Murfreesboro Ramada Inn Baseball Card Show gives baseball collectors in Murfreesboro, Tennessee an early Saturday destination for their November hobby plans. This occurrence belongs to a first-and-third-Saturday series, with a morning schedule that makes it possible to visit before the rest of the weekend gets busy.
The setting is the Ramada Inn on South Church Street, also identified by the hotel as Ramada by Wyndham Murfreesboro. For collectors across Middle Tennessee, the practical appeal is straightforward: a clearly identified hotel venue, free admission, free parking, and a show centered on baseball cards.
A Full Day of Cards & Collectibles
The important planning detail is that this is a morning show. Public hours begin at 6:30 AM and finish at 1:00 PM, so an afternoon arrival would miss it. You do not have to arrive at opening, but leaving the trip until lunchtime gives you a much shorter visit. Build your travel plans around the closing time rather than assuming a hotel card show continues into late afternoon.
The organizer’s title makes baseball cards the clearest collecting focus. If you are deciding whether the trip matches your interests, start there. A particular player, team, set, or collecting era can give your visit direction, but individual dealer stock is something to discover at the tables. The show’s name should not be read as a guarantee that any specific card or product will be available.
There is also an important difference between this occurrence and the rest of the series. The November schedule includes two Saturdays, the 7th and the 21st. They are separate visits, not consecutive days of one event. If you save the event link or share plans with someone, include the actual date so everyone is heading to the same occurrence.
More Than Just a Card Show
Free admission and parking make this an approachable stop even if your plan is simply to get familiar with the local show. You can set aside part of the morning without building an entry charge into your collecting budget. Card purchases and any arrangements you make with individual dealers remain separate from getting through the door.
For the drive, the annual schedule identifies the hotel near I-24 Exit 81-B. Use the hotel’s street address as your navigation destination, especially if you are unfamiliar with Murfreesboro. South Church Street and Church Street South are two ways the address appears; the hotel’s own website uses the latter. Both identify the same property.
The organizer advertises six-foot dealer tables at $20 and directs questions to John McGill at 615-893-1140. That is useful if you are considering participating as a dealer, but it is not an admission fee. Contact John about table availability and arrangements before bringing a selling setup. An advertised table price does not establish that space remains available for this date.
Keep the occurrence-specific event link handy through the "Official Source" button. It is the appropriate place to look for organizer updates associated with the Saturday you intend to attend, while the organizer’s group provides a separate connection to the recurring show.
A Show for All Levels of Collectors
For a first visit, the most useful preparation is understanding the format and timing: a hotel-based baseball card show with an unusually early public opening. If you are bringing someone who is new to collecting, decide together whether an early start or a later morning visit suits your plans. Either way, allow enough time before the advertised close to find the event space and browse without rushing.
Collectors with a specific search can use the visit to ask dealers directly about their interests. If a particular card is essential to making the trip worthwhile, seek information through the organizer beforehand rather than treating the event title as an inventory list. The same approach helps anyone interested in selling: arrange a table through the advertised contact instead of assuming attendee admission includes selling space.
The recurring schedule also gives this show a useful place in local collecting plans. November 7 is the first Saturday occurrence, with another date advertised later in the month. That regular pattern can help you plan future visits, but save each date separately and consult its own event information. A recurring series still consists of individual shows.
Final Thoughts
The Murfreesboro Ramada Inn Baseball Card Show offers a focused morning option for Murfreesboro and surrounding Middle Tennessee collectors. Its early hours, free entry, and advertised dealer contact make the essentials easy to plan around.
