Sunday, September 6, 2026 is day two of the NoCo Collector Con Card & Collector Show at The Drake Centre in Fort Collins, closing out a Labor Day weekend event at the northern end of the Front Range. Two-day shows reward attendees who understand the difference between the days, and this one is no exception. Saturday is about being first to fresh inventory. Sunday is about leverage — dealers have a full day of data on what sells in northern Colorado, and anything still sitting in the case is a card they would rather turn into cash than drive home.
The floor carries the same broad, well-curated mix that defines NoCo Collector Con events, with meaningful overnight turnover as dealers reorganize cases and trade among themselves. Sports card tables cover MLB, NBA, NFL, NHL, UFC, boxing, and soccer across every era: vintage Topps and Bowman from the 1950s and 1960s, 1970s and 1980s Topps, Fleer, and Donruss, 1990s inserts and refractors, and modern Panini Prizm, Donruss Optic, Select, Mosaic, Topps Chrome, and Bowman Draft. Colorado Rockies, Denver Broncos, Denver Nuggets, and Colorado Avalanche inventory is solid, and local-interest Colorado State and University of Colorado material surfaces here in a way it simply does not at metro shows. Trading card game vendors stock Pokemon spanning vintage Wizards of the Coast releases through Scarlet and Violet and Japanese-language sets, plus Magic: The Gathering, Yu-Gi-Oh!, One Piece, Disney Lorcana, Digimon, and Dragon Ball Z. Locked cases hold PSA, BGS, SGC, and CGC graded slabs, and the collector-con format brings comics, autographed memorabilia, Funko Pops, retro toys, video games, and supplies alongside.
Sunday hours run 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM Mountain Time, matching Saturday's full eight-hour day — a rarity, since most two-day shows shorten the second day. Admission pricing was not independently confirmed at the time of listing. VERIFY: admission price, two-day pass availability, and children's policy not confirmed.
The Drake Centre in Fort Collins offers free on-site parking, a single-level ADA-accessible layout, and climate control. The venue is roughly an hour north of downtown Denver via I-25, and Old Town Fort Collins is close enough that a mid-show break for lunch is easy to arrange.
Sunday suits negotiators, sellers, and anyone building a collection on a budget. If you are looking to sell cards or an entire collection, northern Colorado dealers who had a good Saturday arrive Sunday with cash and room in the case. Buyers get the weekend's most flexible pricing, particularly after 3:00 PM. Set builders find dealers willing to break lots. Families and newcomers benefit from a calmer floor and dealers with time to talk.
Approach it deliberately: arrive by 9:00 AM to revisit anything you noted Saturday, and lead with specific offers rather than asking what a card costs. Bring cash — it materially outperforms card payment at these tables. Carry a want list with target numbers, penny sleeves, top loaders, and a box. Work the final hour hard. Confirm Sunday hours with NoCo Collector Con before you drive up.
