The PTC Card Show takes over the Hilton Peachtree City Atlanta Hotel and Conference Center on Saturday, August 29, 2026, giving the south side of the Atlanta metro its own full-scale card event. South-metro collectors have historically had to drive across town for the big shows on the north side, and the PTC Card Show exists to fix that, drawing crowds from Fayetteville, Newnan, Sharpsburg, Senoia, and the airport corridor to one of Fayette County's premier venues.
The dealer lineup covers both halves of the hobby with real depth. On the sports side, expect long rows of baseball, football, and basketball cards, from affordable modern rookies and inserts to graded vintage Hall of Famers, plus soccer, hockey, and UFC material that reflects how broad the market has become. Trading card games hold serious floor space too, with Pokemon leading the charge alongside Magic: The Gathering, Yu-Gi-Oh, One Piece, and Lorcana singles, slabs, and sealed product. Autographs, game-used memorabilia, storage supplies, and display cases round out the offerings, so you can grade-prep and protect the day's finds before you even get home.
Doors are open from 10 AM to 5 PM, a generous seven-hour window that lets you make a relaxed afternoon of it. Admission details are not consistently published ahead of time, but comparable shows in the series have kept entry free or nominal; carry a few dollars in cash for the door just in case. Children accompanied by adults are welcome, and the hotel setting keeps everything comfortable regardless of the late-August heat.
The Hilton Peachtree City sits on Highway 54 on the west side of town, with free on-site parking, full restrooms, and food and drink available at the hotel restaurant and bar. If you want to make a day of it, Peachtree City's golf-cart-path charm and dozens of nearby restaurants make lingering easy.
This show fits collectors at every level. Families with young Pokemon fans will find approachable dealers and plenty of sub-ten-dollar material. Veteran collectors come for the graded inventory and the chance to buy from south-side dealers whose stock does not circulate at the north metro shows, which means fresher selection than you might expect. Dealers and flippers should bring their buy lists, since several tables actively purchase collections and singles throughout the day.
A few tips for the best experience. Get there at open, because the sharpest deals on slabs and vintage go in the first hour, and hotel-ballroom shows can get crowded by midday. Bring cash, which remains king for negotiation even though most dealers now take cards and payment apps. Keep a want list handy, work the whole room before committing to big purchases, and check the dollar and quarter boxes carefully, as south-side shows are known for underpriced finds. If you have cards to sell, bring them; on-the-spot offers are common here.
