The Alamo Card Show closes out its 2026 San Antonio schedule with a fall weekend on October 24-25 at 247 Church, giving area collectors one more full two-day event at this venue before the year winds down. For collectors who missed the June and August editions, or who want another crack at a dealer floor they already know rewards patience, the October date is the last call of the season.
The formula that works at this show stays consistent: a floor built around sports cards and Pokemon with a healthy mix of broader collectibles. Sports card dealers bring raw and graded inventory across MLB, NFL, and NBA, including rookies, autographs, vintage, value boxes, and team lots, with the fall timing putting football and basketball cards front and center as both seasons hit full swing. Pokemon tables carry singles, slabs, binders, and sealed product, and mixed collectibles like Funko Pops round out the room depending on the vendor lineup. The buy-sell-trade culture is core to the event, so bring things to move, not just money to spend.
Public hours are 10:00 AM to 5:00 PM both Saturday and Sunday, with vendor setup from 8:00 AM. Treat the two days strategically: scout everything Saturday, identify your targets, and return Sunday when dealers facing pack-up become noticeably more flexible on price. The final Sunday of the show's final 2026 weekend is historically when the best deals of the season get done.
Admission runs 10 dollars for a single day or 15 dollars for a two-day pass, with children 10 and under free, keeping the family math easy. If you are at all serious about working the floor, the two-day pass is the obvious play for an extra five bucks.
247 Church is located at 5415 N Loop 1604 E on San Antonio's northeast side, an easy drive off Loop 1604 for collectors across the metro as well as Schertz, Cibolo, Selma, Live Oak, and Universal City, with free on-site parking at the venue. Late October in San Antonio also means the weather is finally pleasant, making this one of the most comfortable show weekends of the year.
The show's posted vendor standards, including organized displays, badge requirements, and a strict prohibition on counterfeit, altered, or stolen items, continue to give attendees a more trustworthy baseline than the average pop-up show. As always, use the in-person advantage: check surfaces and corners under light, compare copies across tables, and ask questions before buying raw vintage.
Everyone from first-timers to sharks will find a lane here. Families get a cheap, welcoming weekend outing, newer collectors get a readable room to learn pricing, and experienced buyers get a two-day floor worth grinding. Traders should arrive with organized binders, and holiday shoppers can get an early jump on gifts for the collectors in their lives.
Arrive at open Saturday for selection, bring cash and a want list, lap the floor before buying big, and circle back late Sunday for closing deals. Follow the Alamo Card Show on Facebook for final details, vendor news, and 2027 dates as they are announced.
