CCS Card Show X takes over Charlie's Collectible Show in Stone Mountain on September 5 and 6, 2026, as the record-breaking CCS series hits its tenth numbered edition with a full weekend of buying, selling, and trading. Charlie's has built one of the most passionate collector communities in the Southeast, and its big weekend shows routinely sell out vendor spots and pack the Memorial Drive venue from open to close.
The mix at CCS shows is famously balanced between sports and TCG. On the sports side, expect cases of baseball, football, and basketball spanning graded vintage through the newest rookies, with regular appearances from hockey, soccer, and UFC material. The trading card game aisles are just as strong: Pokemon leads with vintage holos, modern alt arts, slabs, and sealed product, joined by Yu-Gi-Oh, Magic: The Gathering, One Piece, Lorcana, and Dragon Ball. Graded slabs from PSA, CGC, and SGC are everywhere, and the show's buy-sell-trade culture means fresh inventory circulates all weekend as collectors flip finds table to table.
Hours run 10 AM to 5 PM on both Saturday and Sunday, and the price is unbeatable: entry is completely free, and so is parking. That free-admission policy is a core part of how Charlie's has grown its shows into some of the best-attended in Georgia, and it makes the weekend an easy yes for families.
The venue at 6009 Memorial Drive, Unit 14, in Stone Mountain sits just inside the Perimeter on the east side of the metro, minutes from US-78 and easily reached from Decatur, Tucker, Lilburn, and Snellville. The space is a dedicated collectibles facility, so tables, lighting, and layout are purpose-built for card shows rather than adapted from a hotel ballroom.
CCS X rewards every kind of attendee. Families and new collectors get a zero-cost introduction to the hobby with a friendly crowd and huge price range, from quarter boxes to four-figure slabs. Serious collectors treat CCS weekends as hunting trips, because vendor turnover between editions keeps the inventory fresh, and the trade-heavy culture means deals happen that never would at a straight retail show. TCG players will find some of the best singles selection in the metro outside the mega-conventions.
A few tips from the regulars. Come Saturday morning at open for the best selection, because sold-out vendor rooms mean deep inventory but the top pieces move fast. Bring a trade binder, since trading is half the action at Charlie's and cash-plus-trade offers unlock better deals. Carry cash in small bills, keep a want list on your phone, and take a full lap before buying big. If Saturday gets away from you, Sunday morning is quieter and dealers get more flexible as the weekend winds down.
Charlie's runs shows and TCG cons at this venue nearly every month, including weekly marketplace events. For vendor lineups, special guests, and future dates, check charliescollectibleshow.com or the CCS social channels before the weekend.
