Fall card hunting returns to Leander when the Mom and Pop Card Show sets up at The Fieldhouse at the Crossover on Sunday, October 18, 2026. October is prime season for this show. Football is in full swing, the MLB postseason is running, basketball and hockey have opened, and the fall trading card game releases have arrived — which means vendors restock heavily and the floor carries noticeably fresher inventory than the quieter summer dates.
The advertised mix holds steady across this series: Pokemon, One Piece, sports cards, and other mixed collectibles. Pokemon tables generally span the full history of the game, from WOTC-era base set and Neo holos through modern alt arts, special illustration rares, Japanese exclusives, sealed booster boxes and elite trainer boxes, and graded PSA and CGC slabs. One Piece has grown into a reliable draw at Texas shows, and mixed trading card game vendors routinely bring Magic: The Gathering, Yu-Gi-Oh!, Disney Lorcana, and Dragon Ball Z as well. Sports card dealers cover MLB, NBA, NFL, and NHL 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, Topps Chrome, and Bowman Chrome prospects, up through numbered rookie autographs and graded slabs. Cowboys, Texans, Rangers, Astros, Spurs, Mavericks, and Longhorns cards always find local buyers. Memorabilia, comics, Funko Pops, and supply vendors fill out the rest of the floor.
Vendor setup begins at 9:00 AM and the public show runs 10:00 AM to 5:00 PM. Seven hours is a genuinely comfortable window — enough to walk the room two or three times, break for food, and return to a table you were undecided about. The final ninety minutes are traditionally the friendliest for negotiating.
Admission has been listed at $7.72 per person 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. Verify current pricing on the organizer's listing before the date.
The venue is The Fieldhouse at the Crossover, 1717 Scottsdale Dr Suite 160, Leander, TX 78641, just off US-183 inside the larger Crossover sports complex. Parking is free and on site, the hall is fully indoors and climate controlled, and October weather makes the drive from Cedar Park, Round Rock, Georgetown, and northwest Austin about as pleasant as it gets. Food trucks and drinks are part of the regular setup.
The show is well suited to families with young collectors, first-timers who want a manageable introduction to how a card show actually works, casual collectors filling player and set runs, and local dealers building repeat business in the north metro. Serious buyers will find showcase material, but the room's real strength is variety at approachable prices.
Tips for October: buy your ticket in advance, arrive close to open because in-season football and basketball rookies move fastest, and bring cash in mixed denominations. Set a hard budget and keep a want list with maximum prices. Sleeve and separate trade stock before you arrive. Complete a full lap before your largest purchase, and ask sellers what they have in boxes under the table rather than assuming the display is everything.
