The Georgia Collectibles Show opens its October schedule on Sunday, October 4, 2026, at the DoubleTree by Hilton Atlanta Perimeter Dunwoody, and this edition arrives at one of the best moments of the hobby year. Postseason baseball is beginning, football is mid-season, and the NBA is days from opening night, a convergence that makes the first-Sunday-of-October show a favorite for collectors positioning across all three major sports at once.
The JB Cards dealer corps comes stocked for the moment. Baseball cases feature playoff stars and October legends, from graded vintage Hall of Famers to the young names driving this postseason. Football tables run deep with NFL and SEC material as the season hits its stride, and basketball dealers price their rookie inventory for one last window before real-game results move the market. Around the seasonal action, the series staples hold firm: raw vintage across every decade, slabs from PSA, SGC, and CGC at all price points, Pokemon and other TCG singles and sealed product, plus autographs, memorabilia, supplies, and oddball collectibles.
Hours are the series standard, 9 AM to 3 PM on Sunday. Admission at the door is modest, typically a few dollars, and children with adults are welcome, so bring a bit of cash for entry. Crowds peak mid-morning; serious negotiators work the first and final hours.
The DoubleTree at 4386 Chamblee Dunwoody Road offers free parking just off I-285 at the top of the Perimeter, within an easy drive of Sandy Springs, Dunwoody, Brookhaven, Chamblee, and the GA-400 corridor, with plentiful food nearby for afterward.
Who should attend this one? Multi-sport collectors get the rare month where all their markets are hot simultaneously. Baseball collectors should shop postseason names before deep playoff runs move prices. Families and newer collectors will find the usual approachable dealers and affordable binder material, and set builders can work the raw stacks at a comfortable Sunday pace. Sellers should bring inventory, since buying dealers at this series make on-the-spot offers and October demand strengthens their bids.
A few pointers for the morning. Be at the door at 9 AM if vintage is the target, because the estate collections this series is known for get picked over fast. Bring cash and small bills for smoother deals, keep a want list on your phone, and lap the room before committing to anything expensive, as duplicate inventory across dealers is common at this venue. Give the dollar boxes real time before noon, and if bargains matter more than targets, revisit tables in the last forty-five minutes when dealers weigh discounts against packing.
The series continues with a late-October edition on the 25th, then November and December dates at the same DoubleTree. Watch the JB Cards Facebook page or the regional show calendars for the full remaining 2026 schedule and vendor news before you attend.
