I’ve got to say that after I first saw the EM playfield, the SS playfield really bugs me. On the EM, the joker has a face and the body with the hands on the slings and the feet in the outlanes really make visual sense. On the SS the head has been decapitated and replaced with just a hat and nothing about it makes sense (to me) anymore. What was Gottlieb thinking?

I don’t know what the “right” price is on this game, but in my mind the EM should have a significant premium over the SS game based on rarity and aesthetics alone. GLWS!

Update: I was trying to keep my reply short and on topic, but in the spirit of full disclosure I do own a populated Joker Poker EM playfield. I'm not sure how rational this is, but I don't think I'd trade my EM playfield for a complete SS game in equivalent condition. That's how much the art change on the SS bugs me! (And I'm out of space anyway!) Again, GLWS!
