The Card Syndicate Trade Show comes to the Westin Galleria Houston on Saturday, June 27 and Sunday, June 28, 2026 for a two-day, multi-category collectibles weekend that closes out the busiest Houston card-show month of the year. The Card Syndicate built its reputation on a vendor-friendly trade-floor format — heavier on dealer-to-dealer business and serious collector buying than the typical family-friendly hotel-ballroom show — and the June Houston edition continues that template with Pokemon, sports cards, multi-game TCGs, comics, toys, and memorabilia all under one roof.
On the floor, expect tables that lean modern TCG and modern sports. Pokemon coverage runs deep across the Scarlet & Violet era — 151, Paldea Evolved, Obsidian Flames, Surging Sparks, and the latest releases — with sealed booster boxes, elite trainer boxes, and ungraded and graded singles in equal measure. Sports tables cover MLB, NBA, NFL, NHL, UFC, boxing, and soccer with Topps Chrome and Bowman Chrome rookies and prospects, Panini Prizm, Donruss Optic, Select, Mosaic, and vintage Topps, Bowman, and Fleer. Magic: The Gathering, Yu-Gi-Oh!, One Piece, Disney Lorcana, and Dragon Ball Z all have meaningful TCG sections. Graded PSA, BGS, SGC, and CGC slabs fill locked cases at the higher-end tables; sealed wax, comics, vintage toys, Funko Pops, memorabilia, autographs, and supplies like sleeves, top loaders, deck boxes, and binders round out the room.
Show hours are typically 10:00 AM to 5:00 PM Saturday and 10:00 AM to 4:00 PM Sunday, with VIP early access on Saturday morning for ticket holders who want first crack at fresh inventory. Single-day general admission, weekend passes, and VIP tiers are sold through the Card Syndicate ticketing channels and on cardshowdex.com; kids 10 and under are typically free with a paying adult. Confirm specific hours, ticketing, and any vendor-specific signing schedules on cardshowdex.com and The Card Syndicate's social channels ahead of show week.
The Westin Galleria sits at 5060 West Alabama Street on the west side of the Galleria mall — the same venue Houston TCG Con uses three weekends earlier — with easy access from the 610 Loop, the 59/69, and Interstate 10. On-site garage parking is paid; rideshare is the simplest move if you don't want to handle the garage on a Saturday. The Galleria itself is across the skybridge, which makes lunch and breaks easy. The hotel bar and lobby restaurants are also open through the show weekend.
Who should attend? The Card Syndicate is a strong pick for serious modern collectors, sealed-product flippers, dealer-to-dealer buyers, Pokemon-focused collectors, and anyone who appreciates a trade-floor energy over a casual family-show vibe. Families and first-timers are welcome too, but the room rewards collectors who walk in with cash and a clear want list.
To get the most out of the weekend, arrive at Saturday's VIP open if you have a specific sealed or graded chase — the best modern Pokemon and modern sports pieces move fast in the first 90 minutes. Bring cash for the friendliest transactions (Venmo and Zelle as backups), carry a sorted want list with target prices, and pack a slab case and extra top loaders for pickups.
