NTX Universe is a card and collectibles show at convention scale.
Over 1,000 tables and booths across nearly 200,000 square feet, packed with Pokémon and TCG, sports cards and memorabilia, comics, toys, anime, art, and collectibles of every kind. Add celebrity guests, artists, giveaways, and three full days to dig through it all, and you get the best collecting weekend in Texas.
MORE THAN A MARKETPLACE
The buying is the backbone. The weekend is the reason to stay.
Meet and greets and autographs with guests from sports, comics, anime, and pop culture. Giveaways and contests all weekend. Artists creating in real time. And a few thousand people who care about the same stuff you do. Celebrity appearances and upgraded experiences are optional add-ons, with pricing and schedules announced closer to the show.
WHAT
A card & collectibles show first, a convention on top of it.
NTX Universe is three days of buying, selling, and hunting across over 1,000 tables and booths, with celebrity guests, artist alley, and giveaways layered in. Family friendly, easy to navigate, and open to every collector from first timers to grail hunters.

Sprinkle Trinkle Town
A whole town inside the Universe.
Sprinkle Trinkle Town builds a different world every time it opens. There has been a supermarket, a slumber party, a maid cafe, and a summer camp, each one packed with independent artists from across the country selling illustrations, keychains, ceramics, tote bags, and original designs you will not find anywhere else. Past editions have brought 80+ vendors, hands-on screen printing and live portrait drawing, performances, and a visit from the Mayor, who is a five-leaf clover fairy and takes excellent photos.
This October the town sets up inside NTX Universe. Trinkies, you know what to do. Everyone else, you are about to find out. Included with every badge.
