Trejo's Card Show brings a full summer collecting day to the Ruthe Jackson Center in Grand Prairie on Sunday, July 19, 2026, and for Arlington collectors it is practically a home game — the venue on South Carrier Parkway sits barely ten minutes from downtown Arlington. Hosted by Trejo's Trading Post, the show promotes 175+ vendor tables, making it one of the larger single-day floors in the Metroplex this month.
The card mix is genuinely deep. Sports card dealers bring graded slabs, raw singles, sealed wax, and team lots across MLB, NBA, NFL, and NHL, while the TCG side covers Pokemon, One Piece, Yu-Gi-Oh!, Magic: The Gathering, Lorcana, Dragon Ball, and Riftbound. Beyond cards, the flyer points to comics, toys, memorabilia, autographs, anime items, plushies, Funko Pops, video games, jewelry, Disney collectibles, fan art, and handmade goods, so groups with mixed interests will all find tables worth browsing. The event branding also promises raffles and giveaways throughout the day, a prop hunt, giveaway vouchers, local artists and creators, and even a soccer watch party, giving the show more of a community-festival feel than a simple row of tables.
Hours run Sunday from 10:00 AM to 4:00 PM for general admission, with a VIP early-entry window from 9:00 AM to 10:00 AM. General admission is $5, VIP admission is $10, and kids 10 and under get in free. VIP tickets include the early hour, an exclusive raffle entry, and first access to vendor deals — worth it if you are hunting specific graded cards or hot sealed product before the main crowd arrives. Tickets are available at the door, with details on the organizer's site at trejostradingpost.com.
The Ruthe Jackson Center at 3113 S Carrier Pkwy is a well-known Grand Prairie event venue with free on-site parking and easy access from I-20 and Highway 360, keeping the drive simple from Arlington, Mansfield, Dallas, and Fort Worth alike.
This is a show built for all levels. Beginners can learn what cards look like in hand and how dealers talk about condition in a low-pressure room; families get a genuinely kid-friendly day with free admission for children and plenty of non-card tables; and serious collectors can use 175+ tables to comparison-shop slabs, inspect corners and surfaces in person, and build relationships with vendors who work the DFW circuit month after month. Dealers here actively trade, so the culture rewards anyone who shows up with an organized binder.
To get the most from the day, consider the VIP hour if you have specific targets, bring cash for the best pricing, and make a full lap before buying, because with this many tables the same card often surfaces at more than one price. Keep some budget in reserve for the raffles and unexpected finds, and if you have cards to sell, bring them — buying tables are part of the draw at this show.
