LAS VEGAS, NV, Sunday March 14, 2010
Trades like Pujols-for-Helton and many others are expected to go down at the first-ever TRADE NIGHT at the Vegas Industry Summit.

Hobby shops, as well as distributors and other attendees, are encouraged to bring single cards to trade with attendees from other states to make this trip as valuable as possible. Aaron Rodgers for Tim Tebow? It can happen - and benefit your business - at the Vegas Summit.

"Coming back from Vegas with cards my customers love to will really move my bottom line," shared Mike Fruitman, owner of Mike's Stadium Sportscards in Aurora, CO, and a member of the Summit's retailer committee. "I want to trade away my Yankees, Lakers, Cowboys and, especially Red Wings cards so that I can bring back popular Colorado player cards to sell in my store."

The Trade Night, scheduled for Tuesday, April 13 at 4:30 p.m. until completion is a great opportunity for hobby dealers to interact with their industry partners, increase the value of their inventory and establish trading networks with their peers.

"I know that I can sell Jeter cards in my store, but if I could come back with the right Tulowitzki, Carmelo, Knowshon or Stastny cards, I'd be happy to make those moves," Fruitman added.

Collectors are encouraged to bring pre-priced autographed, relic and rookie cards in appropriate holders to provide the best opportunity for easy and profitable trades.

Said Summit host Kevin Isaacson: "Vegas is always a gamble for me . but sellers attending Trade Night can easily trade for the local-interest cards that make everyone a winner.''
