Sun City Card Show expands to its first true two-day weekend of 2026 on Saturday and Sunday, June 13–14, 2026 at the Starlight Event Center on El Paso's east side. The two-day format is a major upgrade for collectors and dealers — Saturday brings the heaviest local crowd while Sunday offers a more relaxed pace, fresh inventory turn-overs, and the year's best chance at end-of-weekend negotiation discounts. Father's Day weekend timing means the June stop pulls families, multi-generation collectors, and out-of-town travelers from El Paso, Las Cruces, Sunland Park, Anthony, Horizon City, Socorro, Fort Bliss, Alamogordo, and across far west Texas and southern New Mexico.
The vendor floor scales up significantly for the two-day edition. Sports dealers stock deep MLB, NBA, NFL, NHL, UFC, boxing, MMA, soccer, and college football inventory across every era — vintage Topps, Bowman, Fleer, Goudey, and pre-war tobacco runs from the early 1900s through the 1980s, junk-wax 1990s monster boxes, and modern Panini Prizm, Donruss Optic, Select, Mosaic, Topps Chrome, Bowman Draft, and premium Topps Dynasty, National Treasures, Flawless, and Immaculate. June timing aligns with the heart of MLB hobby release season and the NBA Finals window, so 2026 Topps Series 2 Baseball, Topps Chrome Baseball, and current-season Panini Prizm Basketball are reliably well-represented. Dallas Cowboys, Texas Rangers, Houston Astros, Dallas Mavericks, San Antonio Spurs, and El Paso Chihuahuas inventory is consistently deep, and the Mexican Liga MX, Canelo Álvarez boxing, and lucha libre memorabilia presence is unmatched at any other US card show. TCG tables stock Pokémon singles and sealed from vintage WOTC through modern Scarlet & Violet and Japanese exclusives, Magic: The Gathering, Yu-Gi-Oh!, One Piece TCG, Disney Lorcana, Dragon Ball Z Fusion World, Digimon, Star Wars Unlimited, and Flesh and Blood. Locked cases display PSA, BGS, SGC, and CGC graded slabs from low-end to grail-level, alongside autographed memorabilia, vintage comics, Funko Pops, and hobby supplies.
Saturday hours typically run 12:00 PM to 6:00 PM MDT and Sunday hours run 12:00 PM to 6:00 PM MDT, with VIP early-entry available for advance ticket holders. General admission is sold online at suncitycardshow915.com and at the door, kids 12 and under typically enter free with a paying adult, and a single weekend pass covers both days. Door prizes, pack giveaways, breaker meet-and-greets, and dealer raffles are distributed throughout the weekend while supplies last, and on-site grading drop-off is occasionally available — check the show's Instagram at @suncitycardshow915 in the days before the event.
The Starlight Event Center is located at 6650 Continental Drive, El Paso, TX 79925, on the east side of El Paso about ten minutes from El Paso International Airport and easily accessible from I-10 and Loop 375. The venue is climate-controlled, ADA-accessible, and laid out as a single open ballroom with wide aisles and quality lighting for inspecting graded slabs. Free on-site parking is plentiful.
This two-day stop fits every collector type — serious vintage buyers, modern flippers, breakers, families, casual fans, Fort Bliss military families, and out-of-state travelers planning a Father's Day weekend hobby trip to the Borderland. For the best experience, buy a weekend VIP early-entry pass, arrive right at Saturday open for first dibs on fresh inventory, bring cash plus Venmo, Zelle, and PayPal backups, and carry a detailed want list. Save the last 90 minutes Sunday for negotiation — dealers cut prices before packing up. Follow @suncitycardshow915 on Instagram and Facebook for vendor previews and 2026 schedule updates.
