The DFW Card Show brings its fall edition to downtown Fort Worth on Sunday, October 25, 2026, returning to the elegant Hilton Fort Worth for another 120+ table trading card and collectibles show. This fall date is part of DFW Card Show's rotating monthly schedule that cycles through premium DFW-area venues across Dallas, Fort Worth, Arlington, and North Richland Hills, and the Hilton Fort Worth downtown location is consistently one of the best-attended stops on the circuit.
The ballroom floor features a well-rounded vendor mix. Sports card tables bring MLB, NBA, NFL, NHL, UFC, boxing, and soccer inventory from every era — vintage Topps and Bowman pre-war and golden age cards, junk-wax stars, and modern Panini Prizm, Donruss Optic, Select, Topps Chrome, Bowman Draft, and premium National Treasures, Flawless, and Immaculate. October timing means NFL midseason rookies and MLB postseason heroes drive heavy sports card inventory and aggressive buying. TCG tables stock Pokémon singles and sealed product covering vintage WOTC through Scarlet & Violet 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 sit in locked cases, and additional tables carry autographed memorabilia, comics, Funko Pops, anime figures, and hobby supplies. Special guest appearances from anime voice actors and breakers are typically announced in the weeks before the show.
The show runs 10:00 AM to 5:00 PM CDT. General admission is five dollars, kids 12 and under enter free, and in-person Pokémon energy breaks can be pre-registered on the DFW Card Show website. The modest admission fee keeps the show accessible while supporting the organizers' ability to secure premium venues.
The Hilton Fort Worth is located at 815 Main Street in the heart of downtown Fort Worth, steps from Sundance Square, the Water Gardens, and the Fort Worth Convention Center. Parking is available in the hotel's on-site garage and in nearby downtown lots. The venue is climate-controlled, ADA accessible, and offers elevator service to the ballroom level, along with an on-site restaurant and full bar. Downtown Fort Worth restaurants, bars, and galleries are walkable after the show, making the Hilton stop a favorite for collectors who want to make a full day of it with family or friends.
This show suits a wide spectrum of attendees. Serious collectors come for the vendor diversity and the chance to cherry-pick fresh inventory from dealers who rotate through the Metroplex circuit. Families enjoy the kids-free admission and the approachable downtown setting. TCG players scout singles and sealed product ahead of late-fall league events and regional tournaments. Casual browsers appreciate the seven-hour window and the central downtown location that makes the show an easy stop during a Sunday errand run.
For the best experience, arrive right at 10:00 AM for the freshest tables, bring cash in small bills for dealer-friendly pricing (Venmo and Zelle widely accepted), and carry a want list, penny sleeves, top loaders, and a small carrying box. Circle the full ballroom once to scout before buying. End-of-show hours often produce aggressive bundle deals.
