The Mom and Pop Card Show returns to The Fieldhouse at the Crossover in Leander on Sunday, September 13, 2026, and the September date lands at one of the best moments on the hobby calendar. Football season has just kicked off, baseball playoff races are tightening, the NBA and NHL are weeks from opening night, and fall trading card game releases are hitting shelves. That combination reliably produces a busier floor and fresher inventory than the mid-summer dates.
The advertised category mix stays consistent with the series: Pokemon, One Piece, sports cards, and other mixed collectibles. Pokemon vendors typically bring singles and binders spanning WOTC-era vintage through the current sets, Japanese imports, sealed booster boxes and elite trainer boxes, and graded PSA and CGC slabs. One Piece continues to draw its own crowd, and Magic: The Gathering, Yu-Gi-Oh!, Disney Lorcana, and Dragon Ball Z regularly appear at mixed trading card game tables. On the sports side, expect MLB, NBA, NFL, and NHL inventory across every price tier — dollar boxes, team lots, set-building commons, mid-grade vintage Topps, Bowman, and Fleer, and modern Panini Prizm, Donruss Optic, Select, Mosaic, and Topps Chrome, including numbered rookie autographs and graded slabs. Texas team material moves fast here: Cowboys, Texans, Rangers, Astros, Spurs, Mavericks, and Longhorns cards all have a built-in local audience. Rounding out the room are memorabilia, comics, Funko Pops, and hobby supply vendors.
Vendor setup starts at 9:00 AM and public hours run 10:00 AM to 5:00 PM. Seven hours gives you room to browse slowly, step away for food, and come back for a second look at anything you were unsure about — which is exactly how you avoid buyer's remorse at a mixed-category show.
Admission has been listed at $7.72 per person, ticketed in advance through Eventbrite, with the show promoted as all ages. Vendor tables in this series have run $117.33 for a 6-foot table and $146.19 for an 8-foot table. Confirm current pricing on the organizer's listing before the date, since it can shift month to month.
The Fieldhouse at the Crossover sits at 1717 Scottsdale Dr Suite 160, Leander, TX 78641, just off US-183 in the Crossover sports complex. Parking is free and plentiful, the space is fully indoors and climate controlled, and the drive is easy from Cedar Park, Round Rock, Georgetown, and northwest Austin. Food trucks and drinks are part of the standard setup, which makes it practical to spend most of the day without leaving.
This is a good show for families, newer collectors learning to evaluate condition in person, casual hobbyists filling player and set runs, and local dealers building repeat customers. It also functions well as a selling venue, because several buyers work the room at once.
To get the most out of the day: buy in advance, arrive at open, and bring cash in mixed denominations. Keep a want list with maximum prices so a hot table does not talk you past your budget. Sleeve and separate anything you plan to trade. Do one complete lap before your first purchase, and ask vendors whether they have additional inventory in boxes under the table — at community shows, the best cards frequently are not the ones on display.
