The Denver Card Show takes over the National Western Complex Friday through Sunday, June 26–28, 2026 for the June edition of one of the largest trading card weekends in the Rocky Mountain region. Held at 4850 National Western Drive on the north side of Denver just off I-70 and I-25, this three-day mega-show pulls dealers and collectors from across Colorado, Wyoming, Nebraska, Kansas, New Mexico, Utah, and beyond. Colorado Springs collectors regularly make the 70-mile I-25 drive north because the Denver show floor is several times the size of any Colorado Springs venue — and the late-June timing puts the show right in the heart of the MLB All-Star push, the NBA Finals afterglow, and the front end of NFL training-camp speculation.
The vendor footprint is enormous. Sports tables stock deep MLB, NBA, NFL, NHL, UFC, boxing, MMA, soccer, and college football across every era — vintage Topps, Bowman, Fleer, Goudey, Play Ball, and pre-war tobacco issues from the early 1900s, 1950s and 60s rookie runs, 1970s and 80s set-builders, 1990s junk-wax monster boxes, and modern Panini Prizm, Donruss Optic, Select, Mosaic, Topps Chrome, Bowman Draft, and premium Topps Dynasty, National Treasures, Flawless, and Immaculate. Colorado Rockies, Denver Nuggets, Denver Broncos, Colorado Avalanche, Colorado Buffaloes, Colorado State Rams, and Air Force Falcons inventory is heavily represented across multiple tables — local-team depth that out-of-state collectors specifically drive here to mine. TCG dealers fill a dedicated section with Pokemon, Magic: The Gathering, Yu-Gi-Oh!, One Piece TCG, Disney Lorcana, Dragon Ball Z Fusion World, Star Wars Unlimited, and Flesh and Blood singles and sealed. Slab walls of PSA, BGS, SGC, and CGC graded cards run deep, autographed memorabilia and game-used items anchor the perimeter, and grading drop-off, wax breakers, and live break operators round out the floor.
Hours run Friday 4:00 PM to 8:00 PM, Saturday 10:00 AM to 5:00 PM, and Sunday 11:00 AM to 5:00 PM Mountain. General admission is free, with optional VIP day passes available at $20 daily or $75 for the full weekend including Friday early-entry priority access and exclusive show swag. Parking is $15 per day at the National Western lot. Kids under 12 enter free with a paid adult. Buy VIP passes in advance on denvercardshows.com to skip the box-office line on Friday.
The National Western Complex sits at 4850 National Western Drive, Denver, CO 80216, directly off I-70 and accessible via I-25 from the north and south. Colorado Springs collectors should plan roughly 75 minutes north on I-25 with no traffic — leave by 8:00 AM Saturday to be on the floor by 10:00 AM. The complex is climate-controlled, ADA-accessible, and built for major trade-show flow with wide aisles and clear navigation. Plenty of food trucks and concession stands operate inside; nearby dining includes the RiNo and LoDo districts a short drive south.
This show fits everyone from first-time collectors to families to serious dealers stocking shop inventory ahead of the National. For the best experience, plan to attend all three days, arrive Friday at 4:00 PM sharp for fresh dealer cases, bring cash plus Venmo, Zelle, PayPal, and a credit card backup, and carry a sorted want list with target prices. Pack a wheeled cart for vintage hunters and a hard-sided slab case for graded buyers.
