Quoted from RustyLizard:I thought of that but there were games where some had Diamondplate and some didn't. Wouldn't they have considered Mylar on those that didn't?
The early DP playfields had various types of issues when it was released. It was horrible!
I remember WMS actually putting full playfield mylars *over* the Diamond Plate in the meantime until they got it right. They didn't want to scrap all of those playfields. 
During that time, you could still buy the full playfield mylars.
