TXCardFest brings its traveling two-day card show to Austin the weekend of June 20-21, 2026, giving Central Texas collectors a full weekend to buy, sell, and trade across one of the largest hobby tours in the state. TXCardFest runs editions in San Antonio, Houston, Dallas, Fort Worth, Laredo, the Rio Grande Valley, and Austin, and each stop draws a deep mix of regional dealers and serious local collectors. If you want a packed vendor floor without driving to one of the bigger metros, this is the Austin-area weekend to circle on your calendar.
The vendor floor spans the full breadth of the hobby. On the sports side, expect deep showcases and dollar boxes of MLB, NBA, NFL, NHL, UFC, boxing, and soccer cards — everything from modern Topps Chrome, Bowman Chrome prospects, Panini Prizm, Donruss Optic, Select, and Mosaic to vintage Topps, Bowman, and Fleer from the 1950s through the 1990s. Trading card games are heavily represented too: Pokémon singles and sealed product across the Scarlet & Violet era, Magic: The Gathering, Yu-Gi-Oh!, One Piece, Disney Lorcana, and Dragon Ball Z. You will also find graded PSA, BGS, SGC, and CGC slabs in locked cases, sealed wax for rippers, autographs and game-used memorabilia, comics, Funko Pops, and all the supplies — sleeves, top loaders, magnetics, and binders — to protect a fresh pickup.
The show runs both Saturday and Sunday. Doors typically open mid-morning and run into the late afternoon each day, with the first hour usually reserved for early-bird and VIP buyers who want first crack at fresh inventory; check the TXCardFest website for the exact Austin hours, venue address, and ticket tiers, as these are confirmed per stop. General admission is affordable and kids' pricing is usually offered, making it an easy outing for the whole family.
Who should attend? This show is built for Central Texas locals — casual collectors chasing a specific player or set, families introducing kids to the hobby, set builders hunting singles, Pokémon and One Piece players restocking, and serious buyers who want to deal face-to-face with a large rotating cast of dealers. Because TXCardFest tours the state, it is also a great place to meet vendors you would otherwise only see in San Antonio or Houston.
To get the most out of the day, arrive near the open if you have a specific chase — the sharpest vintage and the best deals tend to move in the first hour. Bring cash for the fastest, friendliest transactions, with Venmo and Zelle as backups, and carry a sorted want list with target prices so you can move decisively. Pack a slab case and a few extra top loaders for pickups, and bring a trade binder if you like to deal.
