Home Town Cards & Collectibles hosts a Thanksgiving-weekend card show at the Austin Marriott South on Saturday, November 28, 2026, bringing its curated Pokemon, Magic: The Gathering, Yu-Gi-Oh!, and sports card floor to South Austin on one of the busiest shopping weekends of the year. Free entry and a large hotel ballroom make this an easy stop for collectors with visiting family in tow, and the timing is ideal for holiday gift shopping on sealed product.
The floor is trading-card-game first with a solid sports presence. Pokemon vendors bring modern chase cards, vintage holos, graded slabs, and sealed booster boxes, elite trainer boxes, and holiday collection tins. Magic: The Gathering, Yu-Gi-Oh!, One Piece Card Game, Disney Lorcana, Flesh and Blood, and Riftbound are represented. Sports card dealers stock NFL, NBA, and MLB inventory including Longhorns, Cowboys, and Spurs singles, and Funko Pops and anime collectibles appear at several tables. Every vendor is vetted before setup.
The show runs from 11:00 AM to 6:00 PM. The opening hour brings the freshest showcases; the final hour is when vendors deal most freely before the holiday week.
Admission is free and no tickets are required. Hotel parking is free for show attendees.
The Austin Marriott South is located at 4415 South Interstate 35 Frontage Road, Austin, TX 78744, on the southbound frontage road between Ben White Boulevard and Stassney Lane, about ten minutes from downtown. The hotel has a restaurant and bar on site, and South Congress and South Lamar restaurants are minutes away.
This show suits gift shoppers, families with out-of-town relatives looking for a Saturday activity, Pokemon and One Piece collectors, sports card buyers, and traders who want a busy holiday crowd. Collectors looking to sell duplicates for holiday cash will find eager buyers.
To make the most of it, arrive at 11:00 AM for first pick, bring cash for the best deals, and carry a sorted trade binder and want list. Ask vendors about bundle pricing on sealed product, lap the whole floor before buying, and bring cards to sell.

Thanksgiving Saturday is one of the strongest selling windows of the year, and Home Town's vendors know it, so expect showcases stocked with gift-ready graded cards and sealed product priced to move. It is also one of the few Saturday dates on Home Town's mostly-Sunday calendar, which makes it a good pick for collectors who work Sundays.
For anyone with a large collection to sell, this is one of the best Home Town dates of the year to bring it. Dealers are actively buying inventory to restock for the December shows, and the holiday-weekend crowd includes plenty of collectors with cash in hand. Sort your cards by sport or game before arriving, pull out anything graded, and expect several offers rather than one.
