The Katy Card Show returns to the Leonard E. Merrell Center on Saturday, June 6, 2026, bringing the rapidly growing West Houston suburbs' biggest regional trading card show back for a summer Saturday session. With Katy emerging as one of the fastest-growing communities in Texas and its youth sports culture running year-round, Katy has become a major hobby market, and this recurring show has quickly earned a reputation as the premier West Houston destination for collectors.
The vendor floor brings together a strong regional dealer base covering the full breadth of sports cards and trading card games. Baseball card vendors stock MLB cards from Topps, Bowman, Stadium Club, Panini, and Upper Deck releases with deep Houston Astros sections featuring every era from Astros rainbow uniform vintage through the current championship era — Biggio, Bagwell, Altuve, Alvarez, Peña, Tucker, Bregman, and current rookies are well represented at every price point. NBA basketball card tables feature 1980s Star company and Fleer rookies, 1990s Upper Deck Hakeem Olajuwon and Clyde Drexler Rockets staples, Yao Ming rookies, James Harden-era Rockets hits, and modern Panini Prizm, Select, Optic, and Mosaic with current Rockets rookies. NFL football card dealers stock vintage Houston Oilers Earl Campbell, Warren Moon, and Bum Phillips era Topps, modern Panini and Topps Texans rookies and stars including C.J. Stroud, Nico Collins, and Will Anderson Jr., plus full NFL coverage. Katy is also home to the historic Katy ISD high school football tradition and the National powerhouse Katy Tigers — local Friday Night Lights memorabilia and Texas high school football collectibles occasionally make appearances. Pokemon vendors offer raw singles across every generation, sealed booster packs, elite trainer boxes, Japanese imports, and graded slabs from PSA, BGS, and CGC. Yu-Gi-Oh!, Magic: The Gathering, One Piece TCG, and Disney Lorcana fill additional TCG tables. Supplies, Funko Pops, comics, and signed memorabilia round out the floor.
The Katy Card Show runs from 9:00 AM to 4:00 PM on Saturday, June 6, giving collectors a seven-hour Saturday window. General admission is typically $5 for adults, and children under 12 enter free with a paying adult, making the show an affordable family-friendly hobby destination. Early entry tickets may be available for serious collectors — check the show's Facebook page for final pricing and schedule.
The Leonard E. Merrell Center at 6301 South Stadium Lane is one of Katy's most recognizable public venues, situated directly off I-10 West and Grand Parkway (99) with abundant free on-site parking. The venue offers a large climate-controlled exhibition hall with strong lighting and easy navigation, and nearby LaCenterra at Cinco Ranch and Katy Mills Mall offer plentiful post-show dining options.
This show is ideal for West Houston, Cinco Ranch, Cypress, and Fulshear collectors, families introducing kids to the hobby, dedicated Astros, Texans, and Rockets fans, Pokemon and TCG collectors, and dealers building a growing West Houston customer base.
For the best experience, arrive at the 9:00 AM opening, bring cash for preferred pricing, carry a focused want list, and follow Houston Area Card Shows on Facebook for updates.
