GigantiCARDS is a dedicated celebration of cards and collectibles from the team behind Hill Country Comicon and Greater Austin Comic Con, returning to the Austin metro the weekend of November 7-8, 2026 with 100+ exhibitors spanning cards, comics, toys, collectibles, and artists. Built specifically around the collecting hobby rather than as a general fan con, GigantiCARDS gives Central Texas collectors a focused two-day weekend to dig through a big exhibitor floor — and because it is produced by an experienced local convention team, it tends to be smoothly run and family-friendly. For collectors in Cedar Park, Leander, Round Rock, and the greater Austin area, it is a convenient fall destination.
The exhibitor floor blends a card show with a collectibles expo. On the cards side, expect MLB, NBA, NFL, NHL, UFC, boxing, and soccer across dollar boxes, mid-grade binders, and locked showcases — modern Topps Chrome, Bowman Chrome prospects, Panini Prizm, Donruss Optic, Select, and Mosaic alongside vintage Topps, Bowman, and Fleer. Trading card games are well represented with Pokémon, Magic: The Gathering, Yu-Gi-Oh!, One Piece, Disney Lorcana, and Dragon Ball Z singles and sealed product. Because GigantiCARDS grew out of comic conventions, the floor also carries a strong selection of comics — including graded CGC slabs — plus Funko Pops, toys, original art, and autographs, making it a great event for collectors with crossover interests.
As a two-day expo, GigantiCARDS typically runs Saturday and Sunday with mid-morning openings and afternoon closings each day; some collectibles expos offer an early-bird or VIP entry for first access to the floor. Confirm the exact hours, venue address, and ticket details on the organizer's site, since these are set per event. Admission is generally affordable with discounted or free pricing for young children, and the host venues for this team's events usually offer free and convenient parking — a welcome contrast to a downtown show.
Who should attend? Collectors who love a broad floor — cards plus comics, toys, and collectibles all in one room — families looking for an all-ages weekend, set builders, and casual buyers who want a relaxed pace. Because of its comic-con roots, it is also a strong pick for collectors who cross between sports cards, TCG, and slabbed comics and want to hit all of those in a single trip.
To get the most out of the day, arrive near the open if you have a specific chase, since the freshest inventory and the best deals move early. Bring cash for the fastest transactions, with Venmo and Zelle as backups, and carry a sorted want list with target prices across each of your collecting categories. Pack a slab case and top loaders for pickups, bring a trade binder if you deal, and budget time to browse the comics and collectibles booths in addition to the card tables.
