That reminds me of an Ebay listing I did for a SI back glass I did a few years back, it went something like...

Great for...replacing your defective glass, framing it for a wall hanging or just use it to scare the hell outa your cat.


-SI gets my vote as well
-Black Knight
-Original Gottlieb Spiderman
-Capt'n Fantastic
-Earthshaker

The ramp business was very very good to me.

anything by Christian Marche

Some people hate his neo-cubist designs that graced most early 70's Williams (and some late 60's Ballys) however I think they are some of the most interesting backglasses out there

My picks are Suspense, OXO, Capersville and Paddock
