ATX North opens its 2027 season at the Bell County Expo Center in Belton on January 23 and 24, 2027, bringing TX Card Shows' 400-table weekend format back to the Interstate 35 corridor between Austin and Waco. After two strong Belton editions in 2026, the January show is the first big Central Texas card weekend of the new year, and it arrives with collectors flush with holiday cash and dealers restocked with inventory acquired over the break.
The floor follows the ATX North template. Sports card dealers bring vintage grails, modern graded slabs, autographs, numbered parallels, and sealed wax across NFL, NBA, MLB, and NHL, with heavy Cowboys, Texans, Longhorns, Aggies, and Spurs representation and the NFL playoffs driving football demand. TCG Central offers dedicated sections for Pokemon and One Piece Card Game alongside Magic: The Gathering, Yu-Gi-Oh!, and Disney Lorcana. Giveaways and heat-check pulls run all weekend, and Market 2 Mint typically operates an on-site grading station with pre-grading consultations and bulk submissions to PSA, Beckett, CGC, SGC, and JSA.
Hours had not been published at the time of listing; TX Card Shows weekends typically run roughly 10:00 AM to 5:00 PM Saturday and 10:00 AM to 4:00 PM Sunday. Confirm before traveling.
Admission is expected to follow the November edition: general admission five dollars in advance or ten at the door, VIP fifteen in advance or twenty-five at the door with early entry, and kids five and under free. Tickets will be sold through tickets.txcardshows.com once on sale.
The Bell County Expo Center is located at 301 West Loop 121, Belton, TX 76513, just off Interstate 35 at Loop 121, about an hour north of Austin and forty minutes south of Waco. Parking is plentiful and free, and the venue is family-friendly with easy access.
This show is essential for serious sports card collectors and dealers in Central Texas, strong for Pokemon and One Piece buyers, and family-friendly with free young-kids' entry. Collectors selling holiday duplicates will find eager buyers, and anyone considering grading should use the free consultations.
To make the most of the weekend, buy tickets in advance once they go on sale, consider VIP for early access, bring cash and a written want list, and lap the full floor Saturday before buying. Bring cards to sell or submit for grading.

January shows tend to reward patient buyers. Prices on the fall's hottest sets soften after the gift-buying rush, dealers arrive eager to move inventory acquired over the holidays, and the crowd includes plenty of newcomers who received their first cards in December. Experienced collectors will find it a good weekend for singles at reasonable prices.
