The Cowtown Card Show returns to the Radisson Hotel Fort Worth North–Fossil Creek on Saturday, June 13, 2026 for its summer kickoff edition — one of the most highly attended dates on the monthly Cowtown calendar. Early summer in Fort Worth means fresh NBA Draft buzz, the heart of MLB trading-deadline rumor season, and the arrival of the year's biggest Pokémon and Magic releases, all of which drive strong dealer inventories and an energetic collecting crowd.
Expect 90+ vendor tables covering the full breadth of the hobby. Sports card sections spill over with MLB, NBA, NFL, NHL, UFC, boxing, and soccer product from every era. Vintage dealers bring raw Topps and Bowman from the 1950s and 1960s, while modern specialists stock Panini Prizm, Donruss Optic, Select, Topps Chrome, Bowman Draft, and premium high-end hits from National Treasures, Flawless, and Immaculate. Texas Rangers and Dallas Cowboys inventory runs deep, and summer always produces a nice bump in rookie-card interest driven by the NBA Draft and the freshly released Bowman Chrome prospect class. TCG tables are loaded with Pokémon singles and sealed product from vintage WOTC to Scarlet & Violet and Japanese imports, alongside Magic: The Gathering Commander and Standard playables, Yu-Gi-Oh!, One Piece, Lorcana, Dragon Ball Z Fusion World, and Flesh and Blood. Graded slabs from PSA, BGS, SGC, and CGC fill locked cases, with additional tables devoted to autographed memorabilia, Funko Pops, comics, and hobby supplies.
The show runs 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM CDT. Admission is free, parking at the Radisson lot is free, and free giveaways are handed out through the day while supplies last — the consistent three-free model that keeps Cowtown regulars coming back month after month. Kids are welcome and enter free with a parent, which makes this a popular stop for family weekend outings.
The Radisson Hotel Fort Worth North–Fossil Creek sits at 2540 Meacham Boulevard, just off I-820 North in the Meacham International Airport corridor. Access from I-35W, I-820, and Loop 820 is straightforward, and travel time from downtown Fort Worth is usually under fifteen minutes. The ballroom is climate-controlled — a mandatory amenity given that Fort Worth Junes regularly push into the mid-90s — and the venue is fully ADA accessible with elevator service. Restaurants along Meacham Boulevard, Western Center, and the North Side offer plenty of pre- and post-show dining options.
This show draws a wide range of collectors. Serious buyers come early to cherry-pick vintage and high-end singles before they move. Flippers and breakers use the show to restock and swap case-break hits. Families treat it as a Saturday activity, with kids loading up on dime-bin baseball cards and affordable Pokémon singles. Competitive Pokémon and Magic players scout singles for upcoming league and FNM events. First-timers consistently report Cowtown as one of the most welcoming shows in North Texas — vendors take time to explain grading, pricing, and sleeving without pressure.
For the best results, arrive right at 9:00 AM to beat the post-coffee downtown crowd, bring cash in small bills for dealer-friendly pricing, and carry a want list, penny sleeves, top loaders, and a box or backpack. Do a full scouting lap, then a buying pass. In the last hour, target end-of-day bundle deals — many dealers prefer to discount rather than haul inventory home.
