No, definately not perfection, some are real "player" games (ie BH is in average conditions). I have been lucky enough to secure new playfields for AFM and FH, but they are real keepers, so worth the investment.

BBB when they were first announced sold at $4500 US, I paid the guy I bought out a little bit more to get his spot, but still ended up paying way less than they now seem to sell for. I actually put a bit of time into an MM then when deciding (given the price similarity) and decided on the BBB. Gene Cunningham reportedly (pretty reliably reported - his wife Georgianna told me on the phone!) lost in dollar terms some $200,000 to $300,000 building them, but as she put it to me "Lost? No, lost nothing - I've never seen Gene happier, so there was no loss".
