The Space City Sports Cards and Collectibles Expo returns to the Fort Bend County Epicenter in Rosenberg on April 17 and 18, 2027. Run by the team behind the Conroe and Katy shows, this is the southwest anchor of their Texas circuit and one of the larger free-admission collectibles events serving the Houston metro. The Epicenter is a modern expo facility with an open floor, high ceilings, wide aisles, and a large paved lot, which makes it a far more comfortable room to work than a hotel ballroom once the vendor count climbs.
The organizers promote six categories across the floor — cards, memorabilia, Pokemon, comics, Funko, and video games — and the vendor mix reflects all of them. Sports card dealers bring MLB, NFL, NBA, NHL, boxing, and racing material spanning bargain boxes and commons through mid-grade vintage stars, modern rookies and parallels, sealed wax, and graded slabs under glass. Pokemon and other trading card game vendors carry singles, sealed product, and premium display pieces. Beyond cards you will find autographed memorabilia, comic long boxes, retro video games and consoles, vintage toys, Funko sellers, and supply vendors stocking sleeves, top loaders, and storage boxes.
Every edition of this series has run free admission for all attendees with free parking and no advance ticket, plus hourly giveaways and raffles throughout the weekend. October 2026 used 10:00 AM to 5:00 PM Saturday and 10:00 AM to 4:00 PM Sunday. This April 2027 date appears on the organizer's published forward schedule but a dedicated event page with confirmed hours was not yet live at the time of this listing, so verify times at conroesportscardshow.com or katysportscardshow.com before you drive out.
The Epicenter sits at 28505 Southwest Freeway in Rosenberg, directly off US-59, about forty minutes southwest of downtown Houston and very convenient for collectors in Sugar Land, Richmond, Katy, Missouri City, and Fort Bend County. The organizers have arranged attendee room rates at nearby hotels for past editions of this show, including properties in Rosenberg and Houston West.
Mid-April is a good moment on the hobby calendar. Baseball season is fully underway, the NFL draft is imminent and football collectors are actively positioning, and basketball and hockey postseasons are driving interest in those categories. That spread tends to produce a genuinely varied floor rather than one category dominating.
Come with cash in mixed denominations, a want list organized by sport, set, or character, and something rigid to protect purchases on the walk to the car. Walk the entire hall before committing to a significant buy — with a floor this size the same card routinely appears at multiple tables with meaningful price differences. Ask before removing anything from a display case, and on graded cards confirm the grading company, the grade, and the certification number in hand.
