The Georgia Collectibles Show holds its late-September edition on Sunday, September 20, 2026, back in its familiar home at the DoubleTree by Hilton Atlanta Perimeter Dunwoody. Two weeks after the series' early-September date, this edition lands squarely in the heart of football season, and the dealer cases reflect it: expect the strongest football inventory of the month, from vintage Falcons and SEC legends to this year's hottest NFL rookies, right when the market around them is most active.
Beyond the football surge, the room delivers the full JB Cards formula that has made this series an Atlanta institution. Baseball is deep as the pennant races tighten, with vintage stars, graded Hall of Famers, and modern prospects all represented. Basketball tables load up ahead of the NBA season, and hockey, soccer, and UFC make their usual appearances. On the TCG side, Pokemon singles, slabs, and sealed product remain a fixture, joined by Magic: The Gathering and Yu-Gi-Oh. Autographs, memorabilia, supplies, and a healthy scatter of oddball collectibles complete the floor.
The show runs its standard Sunday window of 9 AM to 3 PM. Door admission is modest, typically a few dollars with kids welcome alongside adults, so bring a little cash for entry. The mid-morning stretch is the busiest; the first hour and the final hour are the calmest times to negotiate.
The DoubleTree at 4386 Chamblee Dunwoody Road offers free parking and sits just off I-285 near the GA-400 interchange, putting it within twenty minutes of most of the north metro. The air-conditioned ballroom keeps things comfortable, and the surrounding Dunwoody and Chamblee corridors have abundant lunch options for the ride home.
This edition particularly suits football collectors, who should treat it as their season-opening supply run, and fantasy-minded modern collectors chasing breakout rookies before prices move. It remains equally friendly to families hunting affordable binder cards, set builders working checklists, and vintage hounds watching for the estate collections that surface at this series with unusual regularity. Sellers are well served too, with buying dealers ready to make offers on collections of any size.
To get the most out of the morning, arrive at open, because regulars know the drill and the best-priced slabs rarely survive to 10:30. Carry cash and a want list, ask dealers what they have beyond the display cases, and comp-check on your phone before committing on bigger cards. Dollar-box diggers should start early rather than late, since the good boxes get picked through by noon. If you have flexibility, circle back to tables near the 3 PM close, when dealers would often rather deal than pack.
The series continues with October, November, and December dates already on the calendar at the same venue, making it easy to build a regular Sunday habit. Check the JB Cards Facebook page or the major show directories for the complete schedule and any updates before attending.
