Gaming to Prevent Suicide
This year’s HBMO event will introduce several first-time occurrences, including our first ever Pokemon TCG tournaments and possibly the biggest development, a third day full of events. While those are huge announcements, they aren’t the only firsts at the 2023 HBMO!
This year we introduce the annual Saturday Night Trade Night! (Sponsored by Area 51 Collectibles)
On the Saturday night of the event (March 18th) at the Hilton Hotel connected to the convention center we will host an official trade night for all attendees and vendors. It’s completely free to attend and will be located on the 2nd floor next to the hotel bar. The official event runs from 6pm to 9pm, but everyone is welcome to stay all night and trade/play!
Not familiar with what a “Trade Night” is? Keep reading and we’ll explain…
Trade Nights are a common practice at major trading card conventions, especially in the sports card scene. It’s traditionally a time where everyone gets to be a vendor of sorts and buy/sell/trade with other event attendees. Tables are set up and people can open their collections to trade with one another.
In the case of the HBMO Trade Night, several event vendors will have a small reserved area to set up and trade as well as a few other local stores. If you want to grab a good spot we suggest arriving before 6pm to pick a good table. Don’t worry, there will be places around the second floor of the Hilton to trade even if you don’t grab a prime table space.
Not looking to display anything? That’s okay too! You are welcome to just check out what others have up for grabs and ask for any of those specific cards you want. These trade nights are usually a great place to find those obscure collectibles that don’t always make it in the display at vendor booths.
The event is Saturday, March 18th on the 2nd Floor of the Hilton Hotel from 6-9pm!
Oh, did we mention there will be a free prize raffle for everyone that attends! You won’t want to miss it!
