Experiences
NTX Universe is more than an autograph line. Three days of panels, play, grading, and things to do for every age, all under one roof at the Kay Bailey Hutchison Convention Center, October 16-18, 2026. Here is everything waiting for you inside.

AUTOGRAPH ALLEY
Meet the people behind the characters, the championships, and the covers. Autograph Alley is home to our celebrity guests, voice actors, wrestling legends, comic creators, and Dallas sports icons all weekend long. Autographs and photo ops are sold separately from your badge, and pre-purchasing is the best way to guarantee your spot with the guests you care about most. Not every guest is here all three days, so check each guest's schedule before you buy.
See all guests at universecon.com/guests. Buy autographs and photo ops at store.txcardshows.com/events/ntx-universe-2026.

GROUP AUTOGRAPHS & PHOTO OPS
Some moments are better together. Our group sessions put multiple guests in one photo or one signing, from full cast reunions to tag teams that made history. These are limited and they go fast, so grab yours early.
Shop group photo ops at store.txcardshows.com/events/ntx-universe-2026/team-ups.

DALLAS LEGENDS LINEUPS
Three sessions, three eras of Dallas sports history. Each lineup brings a group of hometown legends to one table for a limited signing window, so you can meet several icons in a single stop.
• The Diamond (Rangers legends): Saturday, 9:30 AM to 12:30 PM
• The Gridiron (Cowboys legends): Saturday, 1 PM to 4 PM
• The Hardwood (Mavericks legends): Sunday, 11:30 AM to 2:30 PM
DeMarcus Ware signs separately on Saturday only.

PANELS & MORE
Eight panels across three days, from a Breaking Bad and Better Call Saul reunion to the English voices of Yu-Gi-Oh! sharing one stage. Every panel is included with your badge. Seating is first come, first served, so show up early for the big ones. See the full stage schedule on the Panels & More page.

CARD GRADING & AUTOGRAPH AUTHENTICATION
Get your cards graded and your autographs authenticated without mailing a thing.
Card Grading
• Beckett is on site taking grading submissions in person. Drop your cards with the Beckett team, skip the shipping, and your graded cards come back to you after the show. This is not same-day grading.
• Market2Mint is taking submissions for PSA, CGC, and more, so whichever label you collect, there is a table for it.
Autograph Authentication
JSA, CGC, and Beckett are stationed in Autograph Alley to witness your signatures as they happen and authenticate them on the spot. Get your item signed, walk it over, and leave with it certified. It is the easiest way to protect the value of what you just got signed.

HERITAGE AUCTIONS
Heritage Auctions, the largest collectibles auctioneer in the world and a Dallas neighbor, is bringing a display to the NTX Universe floor. Stop by to see some remarkable pieces up close, talk with their specialists, and learn what it takes to consign your own collection.

TCG PLAY & TRAINING ZONE
Run by The Trainers Sandbox, this is the place to play. Whether you are opening your first pack or you have been battling for years, you can sit down, learn the game, and play against other fans all weekend. Pokémon, One Piece, Dragon Ball, and more. Bring a deck or borrow one, and bring the kids, because this zone was built with new trainers in mind.

FREE PLAY ARCADE
Unlimited play, no quarters needed. Take a break from the show floor with classic arcade cabinets, pinball, and more, all set to free play for the entire weekend. Included with your badge.

BRICK BUILD ZONE
The Brick Truck rolls into NTX Universe with everything you need to build something special. Pull up a spot, dig into the bricks, and see what you can create. Great for kids, and for the grown-ups who never stopped building.

ART CORNER
Let your creative side loose. The Art Corner is open all weekend with hands-on projects for the young and the young at heart. Come draw, color, and make something to take home.

SPRINKLE TRINKLE TOWN
Sprinkle Trinkle Town is bringing its full experience to the NTX Universe floor. Check out everything they have planned and grab your spot at tickets.txcardshows.com/ntxuniverse/sprinkletrinkle2026.
