The Space City Sports Cards and Collectibles Expo brings the Conroe and Katy show family to the Fort Bend County Epicenter in Rosenberg on October 3 and 4, 2026. Run by the same team behind the long-standing Conroe Sports Cards and Collectibles Show, this is the southwest anchor of their Texas circuit and one of the larger free-admission collectible events in the Houston metro. The Epicenter is a modern expo hall with a wide open floor, high ceilings, and generous free parking, which makes it a far more comfortable room to work than a hotel ballroom once vendor counts climb.
The organizers pitch this as a full collectibles show rather than a pure card show, and the banner categories say as much: cards, memorabilia, Pokemon, comics, Funko, and video games. In practice that means sports card tables carrying MLB, NFL, NBA, NHL, boxing, and racing inventory sitting alongside Pokemon and other trading card game dealers, vintage toy sellers, comic long boxes, autographed memorabilia, and retro game vendors. Raw singles, graded slabs, sealed wax, bargain boxes, and supplies are all typically represented.
Hours are 10:00 AM to 5:00 PM on Saturday and 10:00 AM to 4:00 PM on Sunday. Admission is free for all attendees on both days, parking is free, and there is no advance ticket to buy. The series is also known for hourly giveaways and raffles throughout the weekend, so it is worth stopping at the entrance table when you arrive to see how entries work that day.
The venue sits at 28505 Southwest Freeway in Rosenberg, directly off US-59 southwest of Houston, roughly forty minutes from downtown and very convenient for collectors in Sugar Land, Richmond, Katy, and Fort Bend County generally. The organizers have arranged a guest room rate at the Hyatt Regency Houston West for attendees traveling in, and a Holiday Inn Express in Rosenberg has also hosted show guests in past editions.
This is a strong show for families and mixed-interest groups precisely because it is not cards-only. One person can dig through vintage football while another looks at Funko and a third works a Pokemon binder, and nobody has to pay to get in the door. It is also a good show for first-timers: free entry removes the pressure to justify a ticket with a purchase, and the open expo layout is easy to navigate at your own pace.
Practical advice: come early on Saturday for the freshest inventory, and bring cash, because small dealers move faster on a cash price than on a card reader. Carry a want list organized by sport, set, or character, and bring a top loader or small box so purchases survive the walk back to the car. If you are selling or trading, bring material already sorted and be ready to state clearly what is available and what is not.
