Collect-A-Con Atlanta 2 takes over the Georgia World Congress Center on Saturday, September 26 and Sunday, September 27, 2026 for the second of two annual Atlanta editions of the nation's largest trading-card and pop-culture convention. Hosted in Hall A1 at 285 Andrew Young International Boulevard NW in downtown Atlanta, this two-day flagship turns the convention floor into a full hobby destination — 900-plus vendor tables, on-site CGC, PSA, Beckett, JSA, and SGC grading and autograph-authentication submission booths, celebrity athlete autograph guests, anime voice-actor alley, and a marketplace dense with sports cards, Pokémon, TCG, comics, manga, anime, vintage toys, video games, and pop-culture collectibles. The show consistently pulls collectors, players, and dealers from across Georgia, Alabama, Tennessee, Florida, the Carolinas, Mississippi, and the entire Southeast, with national flippers and breakers flying in for the weekend. Late-September timing lands the show right in the heart of football season — 2026 Panini National Treasures, Donruss, Score, Prizm, and Optic Football are stacked, the NFL is four weeks deep, college football is hot, and the MLB playoff race is at its peak.
The vendor floor packs 900-plus tables across every corner of the hobby. Sports tables stock deep MLB, NBA, NFL, NHL, UFC, boxing, MMA, soccer, and college football inventory across every era — vintage Topps, Bowman, Fleer, Goudey, Play Ball, and pre-war tobacco runs through the 1980s, junk-wax 1990s, and modern Panini Prizm, Donruss Optic, Select, Mosaic, Topps Chrome, Bowman Draft, and premium Topps Dynasty, National Treasures, Flawless, and Immaculate. Atlanta Braves, Atlanta Falcons, Atlanta Hawks, Atlanta United, Atlanta Dream, Georgia Bulldogs, Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets, Auburn, Alabama, Tennessee, Florida, and South Carolina inventory moves heavily. TCG tables stock Pokémon vintage through modern Scarlet & Violet, Magic: The Gathering across Standard, Modern, Pioneer, Legacy, and Commander, Yu-Gi-Oh!, One Piece TCG, Disney Lorcana, Dragon Ball Z Fusion World, Star Wars Unlimited, Flesh and Blood, Weiss Schwarz, and Digimon TCG. Locked cases display PSA, BGS, SGC, CGC, and TAG graded slabs from low-end commons to grail-level vintage and modern, alongside autographed memorabilia, comics, manga, anime cels, action figures, and Funko Pops.
Doors open Saturday from 10:00 AM EDT through 6:00 PM EDT for the main show floor, with VIP early-entry packages starting at 9:00 AM. Sunday runs from 10:00 AM EDT through 5:00 PM EDT with the deepest dealer-cut deals of the show. General admission is sold through collectaconusa.com, Ticketmaster, and Universe — single-day, weekend, and VIP early-entry tiers are available. Buy in advance to lock the lowest price and avoid the door-day line. Kids 12 and under are admitted free with a paying adult, and on-site giveaways, panels, and door-prize raffles run hourly throughout each day.
The Georgia World Congress Center is at 285 Andrew Young International Boulevard NW, Atlanta, GA 30313, in the heart of downtown Atlanta directly across from State Farm Arena and Mercedes-Benz Stadium with quick access from I-75, I-85, and I-20.
