Dave's Sports Card Monthly Show returns on Saturday, September 5, 2026, at Dave's Sports Cards in Roswell, continuing one of the longest-running first-Saturday traditions in the north metro hobby scene. Part card show, part shop event, and part standing reunion of north Fulton collectors, the monthly gathering turns one of the area's best-known card shops into a buying and trading hub for a full afternoon and evening.
The focus leans sports, as the name promises. Expect well-stocked cases of baseball, football, and basketball cards spanning the whole history of the hobby: tobacco-era and post-war vintage on the high end, 1980s and 1990s wax-era stars in the middle, and modern graded rookies from Prizm, Optic, and Topps Chrome up front. Hockey, soccer, and UFC make regular appearances, and the shop's own deep inventory backstops whatever the day's guest dealers bring. Pokemon and other TCG singles and sealed product have an established place at this show too, reflecting how many sports collectors now cross over.
Hours run 11 AM to 6 PM, a comfortable seven-hour window that accommodates both the early-bird crowd and families rolling in after Saturday errands. Admission is free, in keeping with the show's neighborhood roots, and parking at the shop's Roswell location is also free.
The setting is the shop itself and its event space in Roswell's retail corridor, an easy hop from GA-400 for anyone in Alpharetta, Milton, Sandy Springs, or East Cobb. Being shop-based has real advantages: supplies are on the shelf, comps get pulled on real monitors, and there is always a knowledgeable staffer to weigh in on a grading question.
This show suits collectors who value relationships as much as inventory. First-timers get a gentle introduction to how shows work, with regulars happy to explain pricing and grading. Veterans come because monthly shop shows are where fresh walk-in collections surface first, and because dealers who see you every month cut you better deals. Anyone looking to sell should absolutely bring cards, since buying is constant here and the shop itself makes offers.
A few pointers for the day. Arrive close to 11 AM if you are hunting anything specific, because the tight-knit crowd means good cards get claimed through word of mouth fast. Bring cash for table deals, though the shop setting means card payments are never a problem. Keep a want list current, and tell dealers what you collect; at a monthly show, they will remember and bring targeted inventory next time, which is the quiet superpower of shop shows. Give yourself time to dig, and check the discount boxes before you leave.
Dave's runs this show on the first Saturday of every month, with October, November, and December dates already on the regional calendars. Check the show's listing on the trading card show directories or call the shop for vendor information and any holiday schedule shifts before you head over.
