The Dallas Card Show brings its Ft. Worth Edition to the Marriott DFW Airport South on Saturday, September 19, 2026, a one-day event that has become a reliable favorite for collectors across the western half of the Metroplex. Run by the same organization behind the massive multi-day Dallas Card Show, the Ft. Worth Edition delivers that show's dealer quality in a more focused, easy-to-navigate single-day format. A mid-September date puts it squarely in football season and the MLB pennant races, which keeps both inventory and buyer enthusiasm running hot.
The show floor brings together a strong cross-section of the hobby. Sports card dealers carry MLB, NBA, NFL, NHL, UFC, boxing, and soccer product across 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 product moves quickly, and Texas Rangers postseason-push cards, Mavericks and Stars inventory, and college football from TCU, Texas, and Texas A&M stay in demand. TCG specialists stock Pokémon singles and sealed product from 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 additional tables for autographed memorabilia, vintage comics, Funko Pops, and hobby supplies.
The show runs 10:00 AM to 5:00 PM CDT. General admission is typically around five dollars at the door, with discounted or free entry for children — check the operator's site for exact pricing and any early-bird or VIP options before you go. The Marriott ballroom is spacious, climate-controlled, and ADA accessible, with restrooms, hotel dining, and a lobby bar steps from the floor.
The Marriott DFW Airport South is positioned in the Fort Worth–Euless corridor near DFW International Airport, with quick access from Highway 360, Highway 183, and I-820. Free hotel parking makes arrival easy, and the airport-adjacent location is convenient for both Fort Worth locals and out-of-town dealers flying in for the weekend. Plenty of restaurants line the surrounding airport-area frontage roads for a pre- or post-show meal.
This show works well for a wide range of collectors. Serious buyers come for the dealer quality and high-end case inventory. Football collectors chase in-season rookies and stars. Families enjoy the manageable single-day scale, and TCG players shop singles for fall leagues and regionals. The airport location also makes it a popular stop for traveling dealers, which tends to bring fresh inventory not seen at the smaller neighborhood shows.
For the best experience, arrive close to the 10:00 AM open for first pick, bring cash in small bills for the sharpest pricing (most dealers also accept Venmo and Zelle), and carry a want list, penny sleeves, top loaders, and a carrying box. Walk the full floor once to price-check before committing to larger buys, then circle back on your priority targets.
