The Alamo Card Show returns to San Antonio for a two-day hobby weekend on Saturday and Sunday, June 13–14, 2026, at the 247 Church event space. The Alamo Card Show has grown into one of San Antonio's most dependable recurring weekend shows, drawing a steady mix of local dealers and collectors from across the I-35 corridor between San Antonio, New Braunfels, and Austin. If you want a relaxed, sports-and-Pokemon-forward weekend without the crowds and ticket prices of a big national convention, this is the San Antonio show built for exactly that.
On the floor, expect a balanced spread that leans into the two categories most San Antonio collectors chase. Sports tables cover MLB, NBA, NFL, NHL, UFC, boxing, and soccer across both vintage and modern — modern rows carry Topps Chrome and Bowman Chrome rookies and prospects, Panini Prizm, Donruss Optic, Select, and Mosaic, while vintage tables run from 1950s Topps and Bowman through the wax-era 1970s and 1980s. Pokemon is the other anchor: sealed Scarlet & Violet product, modern singles, vintage WOTC Base Set through Neo, and Japanese imports show up across multiple tables. You'll also find Magic: The Gathering, Yu-Gi-Oh!, One Piece, and Lorcana in smaller quantities, plus graded PSA, BGS, SGC, and CGC slabs in locked cases, memorabilia, autographs, Funko Pops, and the usual supplies stack of sleeves, top loaders, and binders.
Show hours run 10:00 AM to 5:00 PM both Saturday and Sunday — a clean fourteen-hour window across the weekend. Admission is inexpensive and family-friendly, and the two-day format means you can browse Saturday, sleep on a big purchase, and circle back Sunday. Children are welcome with a parent or guardian; confirm exact admission pricing and any early-buyer options on the event listing in show week.
The 247 Church venue sits in San Antonio with easy access off the city's main loops, and on-site parking keeps the barrier to entry low. The room is air-conditioned — a real consideration for a June weekend in South Texas — and the central location pulls collectors from across the metro, including the North Side, the Medical Center area, Stone Oak, and the suburbs along 1604 and 410.
Who should attend? The Alamo Card Show is the right pick for San Antonio sports collectors, set-builders, vintage diggers, Pokemon buyers, graded-slab hunters, and casual hobbyists who prefer a friendly local weekend over a packed convention floor. First-timers and families will find it approachable, and the relaxed pace makes it easy to actually talk with dealers and negotiate.
To get the most out of the weekend, arrive near Saturday's 10:00 AM open for first crack at fresh inventory — the best vintage and graded pieces tend to move early. Bring cash for the friendliest transactions (Venmo and Zelle as backups), carry a sorted want list with target prices, pack a slab case and extra top loaders for pickups, and bring a trade binder if you like to deal. For the latest vendor list, table map, and any week-of updates, check the event listing and the show's social channels before you head out.
