Cheers for posting that.  I thought I had missed them when I never responded to the original list before it closed.


Given this is a long time wanted pin for me, figured it wouldn't hurt to grab one and store it for a rainy day.  Hopefully I will eventually pick up a trashed game one day to put it in, although the prices this game seems to fetch these days  ^&^


Im looking forward to them finishing those Whirlwinds playfields too!!

Not intending to offend anyone, but why do people stock up on playfields like water after an apocalypse?

If your playfield is in good condition you can protect it forever with Mylar, playfield protectors, new clearcoats, or any number of other methods.

If it is in poor shape, why not just get it restored and do the above to protect it, or just install the new one and stop using the damaged one?

Not complaining as it is good business for CPR and the hobby as a whole. Just curious.

I buy playfield for games I have in my collection, and games I want in my collection. I also buy them for future projects for customers.

Collectors buy them for games they are chasing. This is good for the rest of us as CPR need to have a certain number of interested buyers before producing the playfields. I don't think people buy them to hang on a wall. I know some dealers buy them, store them for 2-3 years, then sell them at inflated prices.
