    One thing I've never seen are the original price of these games, particularly 60's 70's games. I've always been extremely curious how much the factories were selling these for.

    I've not been able to find any information at all.

    Quoted from jonnyo:

    You could look around at Billboard Magazine to get a sense of it. At least, used pricing. You can look at Billboards back to 1942 at books.google.com

    Thanks.
    I looked for a while at the Billboard Magazine archives. A lot of cool nostalgia there, including some predictions which can be interesting. For example the 12/26/1974 issue highlights "Radio may see an increase in Disco music". Gee, if they only knew.

    But I didn't see any pin pricing.
