The Sun City Card Show stages its October 2026 stop on Saturday, October 17, 2026 at the Starlight Event Center on El Paso's east side, with extra emphasis on Pokémon and modern TCG content for a Halloween-month hunt-themed edition. (Note: October 2026 dates and Pokémon-themed programming are best-available estimates based on the show's standing monthly cadence and prior themed-month programming; verify against suncitycardshow915.com closer to show date.) Halloween-month timing makes this a popular family stop — kids in costume on the show floor, themed pack giveaways, and trick-or-treat-style prize tables for younger collectors. Pokémon collectors from El Paso, Las Cruces, Sunland Park, Anthony, Horizon City, Socorro, and Fort Bliss treat the October Sun City as a marquee fall stop.
The vendor floor leans Pokémon and modern TCG for the October edition. Pokémon dealers stock vintage WOTC Base Set, Jungle, Fossil, Team Rocket, Neo Genesis, and Skyridge through EX-era and Diamond & Pearl-era nostalgia, modern Scarlet & Violet hits, Japanese exclusives, alt arts, full arts, special illustration rares, promos, jumbo cards, trophy cards, and Worlds promos. Sealed Pokémon product runs from vintage booster boxes and ETBs through current elite trainer boxes, booster bundles, collection boxes, and Japanese sealed wax. Magic: The Gathering vendors stock Reserved List staples, Modern and Commander all-stars, Standard playsets, and modern set boosters and collector boosters. One Piece TCG vendors stock Romance Dawn, Paramount War, Pillars of Strength, Awakening of the New Era, and current-set singles and sealed boxes. Yu-Gi-Oh!, Disney Lorcana, Dragon Ball Z Fusion World, Digimon, Star Wars Unlimited, and Flesh and Blood vendors round out the TCG floor. Sports card dealers continue to stock deep MLB, NBA, NFL, NHL, UFC, and soccer inventory across every era — vintage Topps, Bowman, Fleer, and Goudey runs through modern Panini Prizm, Topps Chrome, and premium National Treasures, Flawless, and Immaculate. Locked cases display PSA, BGS, SGC, and CGC graded slabs from low-end to grail-level.
Doors typically open at 11:00 AM MDT and close at 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. Halloween-month editions typically include themed pack giveaways, costume contests for kids, and special raffle pulls; check the show's Instagram at @suncitycardshow915 the week before for the confirmed programming.
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 show fits every collector type but is especially strong for Pokémon hunters, families with kids in costume, modern TCG players, and collectors hunting for Halloween-themed promos and jumbo Pokémon cards. 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. Pack penny sleeves, top loaders, and a hard-sided slab case for any graded Pokémon you find.
