The Sun City Card Show stages a second May edition on Saturday, May 30, 2026 at the Starlight Event Center on El Paso's east side — a Memorial Day weekend bonus stop for the Borderland's most consistent monthly card show. Holiday-weekend timing pulls a mix of locals, Memorial Day travelers passing through El Paso on I-10 or I-25, and Fort Bliss families on a long weekend, making this one of the more energetic Sun City stops on the 2026 calendar. Collectors regularly drive in from El Paso, Las Cruces, Sunland Park, Anthony, Horizon City, Socorro, Fort Bliss, and across far west Texas and southern New Mexico to check it out.
The vendor floor is balanced across sports cards, TCGs, and collectibles. 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. Dallas Cowboys, Houston Astros, Texas Rangers, Dallas Mavericks, San Antonio Spurs, Phoenix Suns, Arizona Diamondbacks, and El Paso Chihuahuas (Padres AAA) inventory is consistently deep. UTEP Miners and New Mexico State Aggies college football and basketball product fills regional college display cases, and Mexican Liga MX soccer plus boxing memorabilia (Canelo Álvarez, Julio César Chávez, Óscar De La Hoya) is more present here than at almost any US card show outside Las Vegas. TCG tables stock Pokémon singles and sealed from vintage WOTC Base, Jungle, Fossil, and Team Rocket through modern Scarlet & Violet and Japanese exclusives, Magic: The Gathering Commander and Standard staples, Yu-Gi-Oh!, One Piece TCG, Disney Lorcana, Dragon Ball Z Fusion World, Digimon, 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.
The show typically runs 11:00 AM to 7:00 PM MDT with a VIP early-entry hour starting at 10:00 AM MDT for advance ticket holders. General admission is sold online at suncitycardshow915.com and at the door, kids 12 and under enter free with a paying adult, and VIP early-entry passes give collectors first pick before the public hour. Door prizes, pack giveaways, and dealer raffles are distributed throughout the day while supplies last.
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 — a critical comfort consideration on a late-May Texas afternoon — ADA-accessible, and laid out as a single open ballroom with wide aisles and good lighting for inspecting graded slabs. Free on-site parking is plentiful, and East Side El Paso restaurants like Cattleman's Steakhouse, Ardovino's Desert Crossing, and the Cielo Vista Mall food court are within ten to fifteen minutes for a post-show meal.
This show fits every collector type — serious vintage buyers, modern flippers, breakers, families, casual fans, military families on a Fort Bliss long weekend, and out-of-state travelers stopping through El Paso. For the best experience, buy VIP early-entry online ahead of time, arrive right at the door, bring cash plus Venmo, Zelle, and PayPal backups, and carry a detailed want list sorted by sport, player, and TCG title. Pack penny sleeves, top loaders, and a hard-sided slab case. Follow @suncitycardshow915 on Instagram and Facebook for vendor previews and 2026 schedule updates.
