Card Con brings a Thanksgiving-weekend card show to the Plano Event Center on Saturday, November 28, 2026, giving Collin County collectors a big-venue option right in the middle of the holiday shopping stretch. The Plano Event Center is one of the larger exhibition spaces in the northern suburbs, and its central location off Highway 75 makes this an easy trip for collectors from Plano, Richardson, Frisco, Allen, and McKinney who want to skip the drive to Lewisville or downtown.
The floor covers the full range of the hobby. Sports card dealers bring NFL, NBA, MLB, and NHL inventory with a strong Dallas-team presence, from base rookies and dollar boxes to graded slabs, autographs, and low-numbered parallels. Trading card game vendors stock Pokemon singles, sealed product, and graded cards along with Magic: The Gathering, One Piece Card Game, Yu-Gi-Oh!, and Disney Lorcana. Expect sealed booster boxes and collection tins to be prominent given the holiday timing, plus Funko Pops, memorabilia, and general collectibles at several tables.
The show runs from 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM. The opening hour is when the best showcase inventory moves and the crowd is thinnest; the final hour is when vendors are most willing to negotiate rather than repack for the drive home.
Admission pricing had not been published at the time of listing. Check the Treasure event page for confirmed entry and any VIP early-access option before attending.
The Plano Event Center is located at 2000 East Spring Creek Parkway, Plano, TX 75074, just east of Highway 75 at Spring Creek Parkway and next to the Plano Centre and Oak Point Park. The venue has a large free parking lot, and restaurants along Spring Creek Parkway and near Collin College are minutes away. Legacy West and the Shops at Willow Bend are a short drive for anyone combining the show with holiday shopping.
Card Con suits families looking for a Saturday outing over the long weekend, gift shoppers hunting sealed product, serious sports card and Pokemon collectors who want a large venue close to home, and traders who appreciate a fresh Collin County crowd. First-timers will find the event center easy to navigate.
To make the most of it, arrive at the 9:00 AM open, bring cash for the sharpest prices, and carry a want list and trade binder. Ask vendors about bundle pricing on sealed product if you are buying gifts, take a full lap before committing to big purchases, and bring cards to sell since dealers are buying.

Thanksgiving weekend is one of the strongest selling windows of the year, and dealers know it, so expect showcases stocked with gift-ready graded cards and sealed product priced to move. It is also a popular weekend for collectors visiting family in the northern suburbs, which gives the floor a mix of local regulars and out-of-town buyers that tends to make trading lively. If you have a large collection to sell, this is a good date to bring it.
