The new translite package singlehandedly doubled the price of these games. It just looks like a film noir era comic book now. Add some green LEDs and the game has a better art package than new Sterns.

Lock bar holes came with the game when new. Along with a bar across the coin door. Started with AFM.

Didn’t know that!

Shadow is a killer game for sure. I prefer the original artwork, just because.

Also the generational hatred for Alec Baldwin seems to have subsided, he’s done a lot of great work and has assaulted fewer reporters the last decade.

Somebody did a good job on the holes then. Same spots as Williams used on later games.

To further the lock bar holes. It would seem Congo was the first Williams pin to come from the factory with the lock bar.

I apologize for any confusion I started and interrupting a for sale thread.

That's ok. Clearly none of us had anything better to do today, as evidenced by hanging out in a for sale thread for a game nobody here is buying.

Quoted from woody76:
The value has skyrocketed as well. When I first got into the hobby you could find a players shadow for less than $2k and it was not that long ago you could get one for $2500. Now they are pushing white water money.

i bought 2 of them in 2016 for 2500 each. no sanctum wear on either.

Nice work! That was well below market price for a Shadow with no sanctum wear in 2016 (or 2013 for that matter, when I bought mine).

I firmly believe that if The Shadow had a theme like pulp fiction, planet of the apes, or something of the like...it would be $8,000.

I personally love the theme because I grew up with it...but that is quite literally the ONLY thing that keeps it from costing way, WAY more.

I love the theme too, saw The Shadow several times at the drive-in the summer it came out. And couldn't have been happier it was an affordable B/W when I got into the hobby!

It been on my list forever, loved the reruns on radio as a kid, it is such a great pin. The Aurich package just makes it so much better getting rid of the movie translite. I'll manage to get my hands on one eventually.

Brian Eddy has only designed 5 games. They are all great but this one rates the lowest. Why? Because of the flop movie associated with it and some questionable art. In reality (at least for me) it is his masterpiece. I rather play this over his other titles. Simply a great and original game.
