Card Show Weekend Preview June 6-7: HobbyCon Orlando, NTX Dallas, Las Vegas, and Delaware's New Pokedeck
It is a loaded show weekend. June 6-7 brings a 50,000-square-foot TCG convention in Orlando, a 300-table sports show outside Dallas with CGC on site, marquee floors in Las Vegas and the New York metro, and a Delaware show that just built an entire floor for Pokemon. Here is where to go and how to work each one.
It is a loaded card show weekend. Saturday and Sunday, June 6-7, the hobby fans out across the country with a genuinely something-for-everyone slate: a 50,000-square-foot TCG convention in Orlando, a 300-table sports weekend outside Dallas, marquee shows in Las Vegas and the New York metro, and a Delaware show that just built an entire floor for Pokemon. If you are within driving distance of any of these, here is what is worth the trip.
HobbyCon TCG Expo — Orlando, Florida
The biggest TCG-first event of the weekend. HobbyCon runs Saturday and Sunday, 11 a.m. to 5 p.m., with free entry, spread across more than 50,000 square feet and 300-plus vendor tables. The card mix is deep: Pokemon, One Piece, Yu-Gi-Oh, Magic: The Gathering, and sports, plus guests, giveaways, and a VIP early-access option. If your collecting runs through trading card games rather than wax-box sports, this is the destination show of the weekend.
NTX Sports Card Show — Lewisville, Texas
The Dallas-Fort Worth sports anchor. NTX runs both days at NTX Arena in Lewisville with nearly 300 vendor tables, a dedicated TCG Corner, free parking, and a VIP entry tier. The headline service: CGC is on site taking grading submissions for cards, comics, video games, and home video, so you can hand off slabs in person rather than mailing them during a backlogged grading season.
Las Vegas Card Show — Las Vegas, Nevada
Running June 6-7, 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. (VIPs in at 10 a.m.) at the Ahern Luxury Boutique Hotel with roughly 200 vendor tables. A tighter, higher-end floor than the mega-conventions, and an easy add-on if you are already in town.
Delaware Card Show — Newark, Delaware
Back at the Bob Carpenter Center on the University of Delaware campus, both days, with 30,000-plus square feet and 250-plus tables of modern and vintage sports, Pokemon, One Piece, and TCG. New for 2026: an entire floor dedicated to Pokemon and TCG vendors, branded "The Pokedeck." That is a real signal of where show traffic is heading — the TCG side now warrants its own dedicated space at a traditionally sports-driven show.
Also Worth Knowing
- Tri-State Area Show (Secaucus, NJ) — 275-plus tables in the New York metro, the Northeast stop for higher-end vintage material.
- Chasers Card and Collectible Exchange (Naperville, IL) — a Sunday-only, family-friendly show, 9 a.m. to 2 p.m., mixing sports, Pokemon, and gaming collectibles.
How to Work a Show This Weekend
A few ground rules whether you are buying, selling, or just walking the floor:
- Bring cash and small bills. Cash still moves the best deals, and dealers will sharpen a price for it.
- If you are grading, go to NTX. With CGC on site, you can skip the shipping leg entirely — a real advantage while turnaround times are long.
- Check entry windows. Several of these shows sell VIP early access; if you are hunting specific cards, the first hour is when they are still on the table.
- Set a number before you go. Show-floor energy is the enemy of discipline. Decide what you are chasing and what you will pay before you walk in.
It is a rare weekend where the TCG conventions and the sports shows are both this strong. Pick the floor that matches how you collect, and go early.
