The Cowtown Card Show returns to the Radisson Hotel Fort Worth North–Fossil Creek on Saturday, October 10, 2026 for its October edition — one of the most electric months on the Cowtown calendar. October brings MLB playoff baseball in full swing, the NFL season hitting midseason stride, the NBA tipping off, and the NHL getting underway all at the same time, which makes for dealer inventories stacked with fresh inserts, rookies, and case-break hits across every major sport.
As always, expect 90+ vendor tables covering the full hobby spectrum. Sports card dealers bring deep runs of MLB, NBA, NFL, NHL, UFC, boxing, and soccer in both vintage and modern, from pre-war tobacco and classic Topps and Bowman through junk-wax-era stars and up to the latest Panini Prizm, Donruss Optic, Select, Topps Chrome, Bowman Draft, and premium National Treasures, Flawless, and Immaculate. Dallas Cowboys inventory peaks at the October show with the NFL season in full swing, and Rangers postseason runs typically drive heavy baseball inventory. Texas Tech, Texas A&M, and TCU college football product is well represented. TCG dealers stock Pokémon singles and sealed product across vintage WOTC and modern Scarlet & Violet, Magic: The Gathering Commander and Standard staples, Yu-Gi-Oh!, One Piece, Lorcana, Dragon Ball Z Fusion World, Digimon, and Flesh and Blood. Graded slabs from PSA, BGS, SGC, and CGC fill locked cases, with additional tables of autographed memorabilia, vintage comics, Funko Pops, and hobby supplies.
The show runs 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM CDT, with free admission, free parking at the Radisson lot, and free giveaways throughout the day while supplies last. Kids 12 and under enter free with a parent or guardian. The ballroom is climate-controlled, ADA accessible, and offers restrooms, vending, and hotel dining steps from the show floor — ideal for an October Saturday in Fort Worth when the weather finally starts to cool.
The Radisson Hotel Fort Worth North–Fossil Creek is located at 2540 Meacham Boulevard, just off I-820 North and easily reached from I-35W and Loop 820. Downtown Fort Worth is less than fifteen minutes away. Restaurants along Meacham, Western Center Boulevard, and the Stockyards district are all within a short drive for pre- and post-show meals.
The October show draws a wide mix of collectors. Baseball collectors come out in force during MLB's postseason to scoop player inventories ahead of World Series hype-driven price spikes. Football collectors pick at midseason NFL rookie cards and veterans whose values are climbing. Families treat the show as a fun low-cost Saturday outing, with kids filling binders from dollar bins. TCG players grab singles and sealed product for upcoming local league events and regional Pokémon and Magic tournaments. First-time visitors consistently find Cowtown approachable, friendly, and easy to navigate.
To maximize the visit, arrive at 9:00 AM for first pick before the midday crowd, bring cash in small bills (Venmo and Zelle widely accepted), and carry a want list, penny sleeves, top loaders, and a carrying box. Do a full scouting lap before making big purchases. Save the last hour for end-of-day deals — many dealers cut aggressive prices rather than repack.
