Home Town Cards & Collectibles returns to the Red Oak Ballroom at the Norris Conference Center on Saturday, December 12, 2026, for a free holiday-season card show in Northwest Austin. The Norris Center is a familiar venue for Austin collectors, having hosted Home Town's August and September shows, and the December date puts a Saturday TCG show within easy reach of the Arboretum, Anderson Mill, Cedar Park, and Round Rock two weeks before Christmas.
The floor is trading-card-game first. Pokemon vendors bring modern chase cards, vintage holos, graded slabs, and sealed product including holiday tins and elite trainer boxes that make popular gifts. Magic: The Gathering, Yu-Gi-Oh!, One Piece Card Game, Disney Lorcana, Flesh and Blood, and Riftbound are represented. A group of sports card dealers carries NFL, NBA, and MLB inventory including Longhorns and Cowboys singles, and Funko Pops and anime collectibles appear at several tables. Every vendor is vetted before setup.
The show runs from 11:00 AM to 6:00 PM. The opening hour is when showcases are freshest and the most serious buyers arrive; the last hour is when vendors are most willing to negotiate.
Admission is free for all attendees and no tickets are required. Parking at the conference center is free.
The Red Oak Ballroom at the Norris Conference Center is located at 2525 West Anderson Lane, Suite 365, Austin, TX 78757, inside the Northcross shopping center at Anderson Lane and Burnet Road. The center has ample free parking, and the Burnet Road and Anderson Lane restaurant corridors are steps away. It is about fifteen minutes from downtown.
This show suits Pokemon and TCG collectors, families with kids, gift shoppers, Northwest Austin residents who want a show close to home, and traders who prefer a Saturday date. Sports card collectors will find a modest selection.
To make the most of it, arrive at 11:00 AM for first pick, bring cash for the best deals, and carry a sorted trade binder and want list. Ask vendors about bundle pricing on sealed product, lap the whole floor before buying, and bring cards to sell.

The Red Oak Ballroom is one of the more comfortable rooms on Home Town's rotation, with good lighting for inspecting cards and wide aisles that make it easy to move with a stroller. Because it falls on a Saturday with a Sunday show the next day, several vendors work both dates and will hold a card overnight if you want to think it over.
Northcross is also a convenient base for the day. The shopping center has a grocery store, coffee shops, and several restaurants within a short walk of the conference center entrance, and the Burnet Road corridor a block away is one of Austin's best stretches for a post-show lunch.
