The 4 Corners Card Show is bringing a full day of card collecting to Live Oak for hobby fans from San Antonio and the surrounding communities. The announced mix includes sports cards, Pokémon, MTG, One Piece, Yu-Gi-Oh!, and other mixed cards and collectibles, giving attendees several collecting lanes to explore under one roof.
The show takes place at the Hilton Garden Inn San Antonio-Live Oak Conference Center, a hotel and meeting venue just off I-35. That location makes it a practical regional stop, and both the organizer and Hilton identify free on-site parking as an attendee convenience. General admission is $5, while children age 12 and under receive free entry.
A Full Day of Cards & Collectibles
The eight-hour public schedule gives collectors time to browse without treating every table like a quick pass. Someone focused on sports cards can compare players, teams, eras, raw cards, and graded examples in person. Fans of Pokémon, MTG, One Piece, and Yu-Gi-Oh! can use the same opportunity to look through singles and discuss collecting or deck-building needs directly with sellers. The mixed category also leaves room for other cards and collectibles represented by the vendor lineup.
For a first visit, it helps to arrive with a short list of priorities while leaving room to explore. A collector searching for one specific card can compare condition and asking prices across the room before deciding. Someone building a set or deck can focus on binders and organized singles, while a newer attendee can simply walk the floor and learn which parts of the hobby are most appealing. Exact vendor inventory can change from table to table, so no particular card, set, or product should be assumed in advance.
The organizer has also announced free packs for this occurrence. Distribution details and quantities are not publicly specified, so attendees interested in that offer should review the organizer’s latest update through the "Official Source" link before arriving. That same source is the best place to watch for any last-minute instructions.
More Than Just a Card Show
The practical appeal of the 4 Corners Card Show starts with accessibility. Free parking reduces one extra cost, the $5 admission keeps the adult entry price straightforward, and free admission for children 12 and under makes the show easier to consider as a family hobby outing. The organizer’s free-pack announcement adds another show-specific feature without requiring attendees to purchase a premium admission tier.
The hotel setting should also be familiar to anyone who has attended a ballroom or conference-room card show. Hilton lists meeting space at the property, complimentary on-site self-parking, an on-site restaurant, and restaurants within walking distance. Food availability and operating hours can vary, so attendees planning to stay for most of the show may want to check the hotel’s current dining information separately.
Collectors should use the venue’s official Live Oak address when navigating. Although the event is promoted to the San Antonio market and the flyer prints San Antonio, the property’s postal address is 8101 Pat Booker Road in Live Oak, Texas 78233. Confirming that municipality in a map app can help avoid confusion when approaching the venue.
A Show for All Levels of Collectors
New collectors can benefit from seeing different card categories side by side. A beginner interested in Pokémon or Yu-Gi-Oh! can inspect cards closely, ask how condition affects value, and learn how sellers organize singles. MTG and One Piece players can compare available cards against a prepared deck list, while sports cards collectors can narrow their search by athlete, team, year, or set.
More experienced collectors get a different advantage from an in-person show. Surface wear, corners, centering, print quality, and overall eye appeal are easier to evaluate with the card in front of you. It is also possible to compare multiple copies before buying and to have a direct conversation about price. Anyone planning a trade should organize cards beforehand and have a clear idea of personal values, since individual vendors decide what they are interested in taking.
Families can set a spending limit before entering and let younger collectors focus on a favorite character, player, team, or game. Because children 12 and under enter free, an adult can introduce a young collector to the show floor without paying an additional child admission charge. The public schedule also leaves flexibility for either a short visit or a longer afternoon of browsing.
The show is scheduled for one day only, with no separate VIP or early-entry window announced. Attendees who want the widest browsing window can plan around the regular public hours, while anyone making a shorter visit can prioritize the card categories that matter most to them.
Final Thoughts
The 4 Corners Card Show is shaping up to be a useful day for collectors in Live Oak and the surrounding San Antonio area. Its broad card mix, affordable entry, children’s admission policy, free parking, and announced free packs give first-time and experienced attendees clear reasons to consider the trip.
