Baseball Card Shows in Texas

For more than a century, baseball card collecting has been a hobby of American baseball fans, young and old. Collectors flock to baseball card stores every day to buy, sell and trade new releases and pricey vintage cards. In Texas, the popularity of this hobby soars due to the southern state harboring two major league teams; the Houston Astros and the Texas Rangers. This has sparked many fans and baseball card store owners to sponsor numerous baseball card and memorabilia shows each year.

Sports Collectibles of Houston
- Sports Collectibles of Houston is a sports memorabilia store that began running baseball card shows in 1983. The store operates three shows each year in Houston. Each show has more than 100 baseball card and sports memorabilia dealers for collectors to browse, buy, sell and trade items. The shows also feature famous sports stars of the past and present who make special appearances and sign autographs--for example, former Texas Ranger pitch and baseball Hall of Fame pitcher Nolan Ryan.
  
  The company currently sponsors shows in Houston, San Antonio, Corpus Christi and Dallas. Shows typically operate at local hotels on Saturdays and Sundays from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. The shows typically charge a $5 admission, with additional fees for collectors seeking autographs.
