The September 2027 edition of OKC Collects runs Saturday and Sunday, September 18–19, at the Oklahoma City Convention Center. Of the four confirmed OKC Collects dates for 2027, the September show consistently draws the largest crowd, and the reason is straightforward: mid-September is when the hobby's attention is at its widest. College and pro football are underway, baseball is heading into the postseason, basketball product is landing, and the year's biggest trading card game set releases have hit shelves. Every category on the floor has something new happening at once.
The trading card game side of this show is the largest recurring TCG floor in Oklahoma. Pokémon dominates — singles covering the full arc of the game from vintage Wizards of the Coast Base Set, Jungle and Fossil through the Neo, Ex and Diamond and Pearl eras and into current Scarlet & Violet releases, alongside sealed booster boxes, elite trainer boxes, tins and Japanese-exclusive product that rarely reaches general card shows. One Piece Card Game is exceptionally well represented in this series, and vendors also carry Magic: The Gathering Commander, Standard and older-format singles plus sealed, Yu-Gi-Oh! staples and extra-deck pieces, Disney Lorcana, Dragon Ball Z Fusion World, Star Wars Unlimited, Flesh and Blood and Digimon. On the sports side, dealers stock MLB, NBA, NFL, NHL, UFC, boxing and soccer across every era: vintage Topps, Bowman, Fleer and Donruss, 1990s junk-wax digging boxes, and modern Panini Prizm, Donruss Optic, Select, Mosaic, Topps Chrome and Bowman Draft, with National Treasures, Flawless and Immaculate in the locked cases. Oklahoma Sooners, Oklahoma State Cowboys, Oklahoma City Thunder, Dallas Cowboys and Kansas City Chiefs inventory carries local demand. Graded PSA, BGS, SGC and CGC slabs, autographed memorabilia, comics, Funko Pops and complete supply lines round out the floor.
Saturday typically runs roughly 10:00 AM to 6:00 PM CDT with Sunday roughly 10:00 AM to 4:00 PM CDT, and a VIP or early-access ticket admits buyers about an hour ahead of general admission each day. Tickets and vendor tables are sold online through tickets.txcardshows.com/okcollects. Children are generally admitted free alongside a paying adult, and buying general admission online in advance is cheaper than paying at the door. VIP allocations for the September show sell out earlier than for the other dates, so book ahead if early entry matters to you.
The Oklahoma City Convention Center is downtown at 100 Mick Cornett Drive, beside Scissortail Park and across from the Paycom Center, with a large attached parking garage, nearby paid lots and direct OKC Streetcar access. The hall is modern, climate-controlled, fully ADA-accessible and well-signed, and Bricktown's restaurants are within walking distance.
This show fits everyone: competitive players restocking decks before a format shift, Pokémon collectors chasing graded vintage, sports buyers at every price tier, dealers sourcing inventory, families and first-timers. The scale means real price competition — the same card is usually available from several vendors.
For the best experience, buy tickets online early, consider VIP entry for high-value targets, and arrive at open before the Saturday crowd builds. Do a full lap before buying anything. Bring cash plus Venmo and Zelle, carry want lists for both halves of the hobby, and bring a clearly priced trade binder. Pack sleeves, top loaders and a hard case for slabs.
