Eckman's Halloween Show brings a fun, fall-themed one-day San Antonio collectibles event to the calendar on Saturday, October 17, 2026. Eckman's themed one-day shows are a San Antonio staple — relaxed, holiday-anchored, family-friendly gatherings that give local collectors a dependable Saturday to buy, sell, and trade without the scale or ticket cost of a national convention. The Halloween edition leans into the season with a festive local atmosphere and a sports-and-Pokemon-forward floor that's perfect for a fall weekend dig.
On the floor, expect a friendly, locally focused spread. Sports cards anchor the room: MLB, NBA, NFL, NHL, UFC, boxing, and soccer across both vintage and modern, with modern rows carrying Topps Chrome and Bowman Chrome rookies and prospects, Panini Prizm, Donruss Optic, Select, and Mosaic, while vintage tables run from 1950s Topps and Bowman through the 1970s and 1980s wax era. With football and the start of basketball and hockey seasons in full swing, expect fresh NFL, NBA, and NHL product to be well represented. Pokemon is the other big draw — sealed Scarlet & Violet product, modern singles, vintage WOTC Base Set through Neo, and a scattering of Japanese imports. You'll also find Magic: The Gathering, Yu-Gi-Oh!, One Piece, and Lorcana in smaller quantities, plus graded PSA, BGS, SGC, and CGC slabs in locked cases, memorabilia, autographs, Funko Pops, and supplies like sleeves, top loaders, and binders.
As a one-day show, everything happens in a single Saturday window — Eckman's shows typically open mid-morning and run through mid-afternoon, so the room is busiest from late morning onward. Admission is inexpensive and the format is approachable, making it a relaxed way to spend a fall Saturday. Children are welcome with a parent or guardian, and the Halloween theme often makes it an especially fun outing for families. The specific venue for this edition is announced close to the date, so confirm the exact address, hours, and admission pricing on the event listing and Eckman's social channels during show week before heading out.
Because Eckman's rotates venues around San Antonio, the location is typically central and easy to reach from the city's main loops, with on-site parking. Wherever it lands, the show draws a loyal local crowd from across the metro — the North Side, the South Side, the Medical Center area, and the suburbs along 410 and 1604 — in a comfortable indoor setting.
Who should attend? Eckman's Halloween Show is built for San Antonio sports collectors, set-builders, vintage diggers, Pokemon buyers, casual hobbyists, and families looking for an easy, festive local Saturday outing. The single-day, low-pressure format makes it an especially good pick for first-timers who want to explore the hobby without committing to a full convention weekend.
To get the most out of the day, arrive near the open for first crack at fresh inventory — at a one-day show, the best vintage and graded pieces can move in the first hour or two. Bring cash for the friendliest transactions (Venmo and Zelle as backups), carry a sorted want list with target prices, pack a slab case and extra top loaders for pickups, and bring a trade binder if you like to deal. For the venue announcement and any week-of updates, check the event listing and Eckman's social channels before you go.
