Before the ballroom opens
Monday and TuesdayMarch 22–23, 2027In-room trading at the hotelArrive early for
in-room trading.
Some of the best buys of the week happen during in-room trading in the days leading up to the show. Many collectors arrive early, and outstanding material changes hands before the ballroom even opens.
Make it part of your visit. Include the in-room trading days when planning your hotel stay. Booking through the official show room block helps keep SLICS affordable.
If the booking link does not show the early nights you need, contact Aaron before booking elsewhere.
