The PokeNostalgia Card Show lands on the second floor of NTX Arena in Lewisville on Sunday, October 11, 2026, with more than 300 vendor tables and thousands of dollars in giveaways. Presented in partnership with the Arlington Card Show team, this Pokemon-first show has become one of the largest single-day TCG events in North Texas, and its move into the NTX Arena upstairs hall gives it room for a bigger crowd and a new dedicated sports card corner.
Pokemon is the core of the floor. Expect vintage WOTC-era holos and first editions, modern special illustration rares, Japanese exclusives, graded slabs from PSA, CGC, and Beckett, and sealed product from booster boxes to elite trainer boxes. One Piece Card Game, Magic: The Gathering, Yu-Gi-Oh!, Disney Lorcana, and Dragon Ball Fusion World tables are plentiful. The new Sports Corner brings NFL, NBA, MLB, and soccer cards from dedicated dealers, so sports collectors have a reason to attend too. Food vendors are on site, cosplay is welcome, and giveaways are announced throughout the day.
VIP entry opens at 9:00 AM and the show runs until 5:00 PM. VIP attendees get first access to the floor along with exclusive VIP giveaways. General admission follows shortly after, and the first two hours are when the best showcase cards change hands.
General admission is five dollars, and kids five and under are free with a paid adult. VIP admission is ten dollars and includes 9:00 AM early entry and the VIP giveaway pool. Parking is free.
NTX Arena is located at 2401 South Stemmons Freeway, Suite 4000, Lewisville, TX 75067, on the east side of Interstate 35E just south of Highway 121. Follow signage to the second-floor hall. The building has a large free parking lot, and the Vista Ridge area offers dozens of restaurants within a few minutes.
This show is ideal for Pokemon collectors of every level, families with kids, cosplayers, traders who want a huge crowd, and now sports collectors thanks to the dedicated corner. First-timers will find the floor big but well organized.
To make the most of it, consider VIP for early access and the extra giveaways, bring cash for the best deals, and carry a sorted trade binder. Keep a want list ready, lap the whole floor before buying, and enter every giveaway.
For updates and future dates, follow PokeNostalgia on social media or check the Treasure event page. A two-day holiday edition is scheduled December 19-20 at the same venue.
With 300-plus tables on a single floor, it pays to have a plan. Many regulars work the room in a grid pattern, hitting the showcase-heavy tables near the entrance first and saving the bargain bins along the back walls for the afternoon. If you are trading, the tables nearest the food area tend to draw the most collector-to-collector activity, so that is a good place to open your binder.
