    I was looking here, and they sure seem to be about (at least) twice as expensive as it seems they should be, for the condition - and then there is the Captain Fantastic for $2500, which is in a class all itself. Although he has some in mint condition, a lot of them seem to be manufacturing defects (to varying degrees).

    Yep, those are quite expensive.

    $800 for a bow & arrow backglass? Yikes. You could buy the entire game for that.

    I don't think anyone in their right mind would pay those prices.

    I suggest checking with Mayfair Amusememts. He says he has 1,000s of nos backglasses in stock, and he's been selling at the Pinfest and York shows for over 20 years.

    That and IIRC the Mayfair stuff is primarily NOS, or factory re-runs. The Mayfair glass I have in my Black Knight is phenomenal as it's a "repro", but was done by Williams using the original artwork.
