About Collect-A-Con

Collect-A-Con is one of the fastest-growing collectibles conventions in the United States, building a devoted national following by creating a marketplace and community space for serious collectors and casual fans alike. The event model is straightforward and powerful: bring together hundreds of vendors, celebrity guests, and passionate collectors in a single venue and let the trading, discovery, and fandom do the rest. What separates Collect-A-Con from a typical trade show is the electric atmosphere — this is a convention where a vintage rookie card, a graded comic, or a rare signed photograph changes hands in real time, and the energy on the floor reflects it.

Atlanta is one of Collect-A-Con's most significant markets, and the fact that this is already the second Atlanta installment in the convention's rotation speaks directly to the city's massive and growing collector community. Atlanta's pop culture scene is deeply rooted — from its dominant sports franchises to its influence on music, film, and gaming — and Collect-A-Con taps directly into that cultural wealth. The September 26, 2026 event at the Georgia World Congress Center is positioned to be the largest and most anticipated Atlanta edition yet, building on the momentum of previous stops and the continued national boom in sports card and collectibles collecting.
