Bruce - I'm guessing you're referring to the "East Cobb Sports Collectibles Show" in Marietta. It's a nice show and is apparently having enough success that it's now held twice a month. I think the next show is Dec. 4. It had more than 50 tables the last time I went. Most of it is 50s-60s cards or newer stuff/autographs, but there is a decent amount of pre-war.
I don't go every time - maybe once every couple months - but I went to the Nov. 6 show and it was good. I purchased five t206s, a couple '33 DeLongs, four 1951 Bowman high #s ... And a 1950s Davy Crokett serving tray (no idea why, but it was cool and I thought it'd look great on my son's shelf).
This was not unusual for this show. The material is there, although some of it is a tad overpriced. Some of it is also a bargain, in my opinion. I slightly overpaid on the '51 Bowmans, but they were cards I needed and my patience is waning with this set.
