Bob,

Your word dance means what???, do you think pinball machine production and poker chip productions are equivalent?????????

Not by light years, THAT'S WHY I ASKED NUMEROUS TIMES EARLIER WHAT WOULD BE CONSIDERED RARE, ETC.
Only to be met with the sarcastic barbs of your little group.

To answer your one question:

16,000 pinball machines would not make one rare, that would be a huge production run, with a caveat:

I'm not sure but I think the only pinball machine with a run of over 16000 is the Addams Family, and the caveat being that they made that many because they were making big money for operators, getting played a LOT.

Also meaning most of them were beat to hell so to find a good one or nicely restored one costs good money (around 3K right now).

One totally restored from the ground up, with a clearcoated playfield can sell for 6,7,8K.

So your analogy is irrelevant, it more depends on the quality of the title and condition.

I had a pop a card that only 900 of so were made, sold for good money when I got rid of it.

I have a No Good Gofers made in 1997 I believe and they made less than 3K of them, while most other Bally/Williams titles in the 90's had runs of 6,7K.

But again, I answered your question in my last reply, that it is rare AS A PLAYABLE SET.

And your analogy doesn't apply.

Bob
