Austin Card Show
Details
Austin, get ready to rip some packs and chase grails—The Austin Card Show is back at the Palmer Events Center June 12–14, 2026, and it’s shaping up to be one of the biggest hobby weekends of the year.
- Stroll through 400+ tables packed with sports cards, Pokémon, TCG, One Piece, sealed wax, memorabilia, and all kinds of hobby gems.
- Meet dealers and collectors from across the country, swapping stories, strategies, and of course, some seriously cool cardboard.
- Whether you are hunting rare rookies, vintage legends, or your next big slab, this is the place to buy, sell, trade, and discover hidden treasures.
The energy ramps up early with VIP entry starting at 1 PM on Friday and 9 AM on Saturday and Sunday, giving serious collectors a head start on the best deals. General admission hours keep the show buzzing all weekend long, with a special Trade Night on Saturday presented by Mystery Breaks turning the upstairs ballroom into a late-night hub of deals and friendly negotiations.
From seasoned hobby veterans to brand-new collectors just getting into cards or Pokémon, the Austin Card Show is designed to be welcoming, exciting, and a little bit addictive. Browse showcases loaded with graded heat, dig through bargain boxes for under-the-radar steals, and chat with vendors about grading, investing, or just the pure joy of collecting.
- Take advantage of different pass options, including single-day, three-day, and VIP access for the most dedicated attendees.
- Hang out with sponsors like Lucky 7 Cards and Collectibles, Kosher Cardz, Card Traders of Austin, Mystery Breaks, and Slabs & Signatures, who help power the show’s massive floor.
- Stay plugged into live updates, vendor spotlights, and show teases by following @AustinCardShow on Facebook, TikTok, and X, and @AustinSportsCardShow on Instagram.
If you love the thrill of the hunt, the satisfaction of a great trade, or the nostalgia of your favorite players and characters on cardboard, this three-day event is a must-hit stop on your hobby calendar. Start building that want list, prep your trade box, and get ready to find your next grail at the Austin Card Show.
And if you cannot get enough, mark your calendar—another Austin Card Show weekend is already set for January 8–10, 2027, promising even more tables, more cards, and more hobby fun.
