The Cowtown Card Show returns to the Radisson Hotel Fort Worth North–Fossil Creek on Saturday, September 12, 2026 for the September edition — a high-energy fall kickoff that lands in the heart of NFL opening month, the MLB pennant races, and college football's early Saturdays. Football fever always lifts attendance and dealer inventory at the September show, making it one of the best-attended Cowtown dates of the autumn season. Hosted by Big League Cards, the show keeps its signature three-free promise: free admission, free parking, and free giveaways across 90-plus vendor tables.
The ballroom is packed with the full range of the hobby. Sports card dealers bring MLB, NBA, NFL, NHL, UFC, boxing, and soccer product from every era — vintage Topps and Bowman, junk-wax 1980s and 1990s staples, and modern Panini Prizm, Donruss Optic, Select, Topps Chrome, Bowman Draft, and premium National Treasures, Flawless, and Immaculate. With the NFL season underway, Dallas Cowboys inventory runs especially deep, and college football product from TCU, Texas, Texas A&M, and Texas Tech moves fast. Texas Rangers playoff-push cards and Dallas Mavericks and Stars inventory round out the sports tables. TCG specialists carry Pokémon singles and sealed product spanning vintage WOTC through the newest Scarlet & Violet sets and Japanese imports, plus Magic: The Gathering, 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 more tables for 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 in 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 on-site hotel dining steps from the floor — a welcome refuge from a still-warm North Texas September.
The Radisson Hotel Fort Worth North–Fossil Creek sits at 2540 Meacham Boulevard, just off I-820 North. Access from I-35W, I-820, and Loop 820 is fast from anywhere in the metro, and downtown Fort Worth is under fifteen minutes away. The venue is fully ADA accessible with elevator service, and Meacham Boulevard, Western Center, and the Stockyards district all offer dining within a short drive.
This show fits every collector. Football collectors come to scoop rookies and stars before season performance shifts prices. Serious buyers cherry-pick vintage and high-end early. Flippers and breakers restock and trade. Families bring young collectors for dime bins and affordable singles, and TCG players shop fall-league and regional staples.
For the best experience, arrive at 9:00 AM for first pick, bring cash in small bills (Venmo and Zelle accepted), and carry a want list, penny sleeves, top loaders, and a carrying box. Scout the full floor before committing to large buys, then return on your priority targets. Use the last hour for deal-making, when many dealers cut prices rather than repack inventory.
