There seems to be 2 per month run by the same guy. One in East Cobb and one North Atlanta, both at Hilton Garden Inns. Anyone ever been to either of these and are they worth going to? There is one this Sunday off 285 toward Smyrna/Marietta.

    I have been to both. It really isn't worth the trip for you unless you have a day to kill and want to look at low to mid-grade vintage and a moderate amount of new stuff. Occasionally Jed Drinkwine or Steve Wrate will bring in some decent vintage.

    will guys make deals on the vintage or is it all really overpriced? Any full vintage sets or just singles? I'll probably go anyway, just because I haven't been to a regional card show in like 20 years.

    I sent Mike/Mark hotel information, I can forward to you as well. There is an awesome bar the Tony Stewart owns right off the exit and the hotel is in a great area ( the show isn't in such great area). Say your with Lowes and Homewood Suites is $99 a night.

    yep, just looking at the preliminaries, I think I'm gonna come up on that Friday the 24th. I wouldn't want to be late for the card show on Saturday morning, lol. Oh, and I may go out on Friday night too.

    Do you all go to this show every so often or is this a one time thing?
