Quoted from Blackbeard:I don’t understand replicating a pf that generally doesn’t wear poorly. Outside the sanctum area, shadow pfs are rarely in shitty condition
I've seen some sanctum area wear the size of a nickel, gouged into the playfield. I have also seen some Shadows with repair jobs that would make your eyes bleed. It also is in a very visible spot, not hard for non-pinhead to even see.
When selling a game, the first picture anybody wants to see is the sanctum area. Being a popular game that many people would love to restore and haven't had a chance to do for 25 years, people are happy and excited this is being offered.
