The ATX Card Show expands to a two-day Summer Weekend on June 27–28, 2026, taking over the Hilton Austin's grand ballroom with 300+ dealer tables for a Saturday-Sunday run that doubles the hunt window of their usual single-day shows. It's the biggest downtown Austin card show of the summer and a favorite for out-of-towners building a weekend trip around the hobby.
Dealers bring serious inventory across every major category. Sports side: MLB, NBA, NFL, NHL, UFC, boxing, soccer, and college football, in everything from 1950s Topps and 1960s Bowman to current-year Panini Prizm, Select, Donruss Optic, Topps Chrome, Bowman Draft, and high-end releases like National Treasures and Flawless. TCG side: Pokémon (vintage WOTC through Scarlet & Violet), Magic: The Gathering, Yu-Gi-Oh!, One Piece, Lorcana, Dragon Ball Z Fusion World, and Flesh and Blood singles plus sealed product. Graded slabs, memorabilia, autographs, Funko Pops, comics, and content-creator meet-and-greets round out the floor.
Day-by-day hours: Saturday, June 27 — VIP 10:00 AM, GA 11:00 AM to 8:00 PM, with an evening Trade Night for dealers and VIP pass holders running 8:00 PM to 10:00 PM. Sunday, June 28 — GA 10:00 AM to 5:00 PM. Sunday is traditionally the strongest day for deal-hunting; Saturday is the cleanest inventory and best for grail hunts and celebrity signings.
Tickets are available in advance at tickets.txcardshows.com and at the door. Options include Saturday single-day, Sunday single-day, weekend pass, and VIP (early entry each day, swag bag, and VIP lounge). Kids 12 and under enter free with a paying adult. Autograph and grading-intake pricing is set by individual vendors at their tables.
Hilton Austin is at 500 East 4th Street, one block from the Austin Convention Center and walking distance to Rainey Street, the Red River district, and dozens of downtown restaurants. Paid parking is in the Hilton garage with several surface lots nearby; rideshare is the easiest option on a summer Saturday when downtown traffic is heavy for concerts and events. The show floor is climate-controlled — welcome in late June — and fully wheelchair accessible.
This show suits a wide audience. Serious dealers fly in for the two-day grind and move big inventory across the weekend. Casual collectors and first-timers love the mix of modern and vintage under one roof and the friendly Saturday crowd. Families often split time between the show floor and downtown Austin, turning the weekend into a mini-vacation. Competitive TCG players use the show to pick up singles and sealed product ahead of mid-summer regionals.
To get the most from the weekend: arrive Saturday VIP for first-crack inventory, carry a want list and cash for the best table pricing, and budget your Sunday for negotiation rounds as dealers move to clear boxes. Bring top loaders, penny sleeves, and a small carrying case. Follow @txcardshows on Instagram for the final vendor list, signing schedule, and any line or parking updates leading up to show weekend.
