The wait is finally over for card collectors in the 318, because the massive Shreveport Card Show is happening this weekend. It all goes down this Saturday and Sunday, January 3rd and 4th, inside the Shreveport Convention Center in Downtown Shreveport.

This isn't the normal Shreveport Card Show we've come to expect...this is the BIG show. We are talking about a major event with hundreds of vendors, thousands of attendees, and probably millions of cards. If you have been waiting to buy, sell, or trade, this is the place you need to be to kick off 2026 the right way.

UFC legend, and Lafayette native, Dustin Poirier will be in the house to sign autographs and take photos with fans. If you want to make sure that you secure your meet and greet with Poirier, you shouldn't wait too long. His autograph and picture spots are limited.

There are a lot of options you can choose from. You can order just a photo op, or get autographs on flat items like trading cards and photos. Plus you can get signatures on gloves (with one exception), figures, or trunks...and there's also a spot to get a UFC belt signed. You can see all the pricing here...where you can also place your order now to guarantee your spot. Because Poirier will only be available for a limited time at the show.

Free Admission Offers Available

One of the coolest parts of this show is how easy they are making it for fans to get in the door. If you show up wearing a sports jersey, you get into the show for free on both days. It doesn't matter if it's a Saints jersey, an LSU jersey, or even a Pelicans jersey...just wear it and walk right in.

They are also taking care of the next generation of collectors by letting all kids 12-and-under in for free all weekend long. There are even special ticket discounts available for our military members, police officers, and fire fighters who want to come out and enjoy the hobby.

If you don't have a jersey to wear, general admission tickets are still a bargain at just $8. You can grab those tickets online right now to skip the lines when you get to the Convention Center.
