Quoted from Imeh:

I don't know why I feel the need to defend myself here, but somehow I do. I'm a player/ collector. I could care less about the resale value of a pin after I have decided to add it to my collection. The plate thing was just a personal quirk about having someone else's name on it. As it turns out, not an issue. Had nothing to do with the value, just a personal preferrence that would not have prevented the sale. I will be unboxing it with Rob (seller) on its arrival and we will immediately start trying to wear it out! I am buying this for me, my family, friends, and visiting pinsiders to enjoy playing a rare machine. I actually don't care in the slightest if it's the next remake or not, or what happens to its future "value",as I said, it will remain in my collection till I take a dirt nap. After nib STLE, WOZECLE, HEP AFM, HEP TZ, and waiting on my MMr, this isn't that big a jump! And LitzDoc, the deal is going thru, cash don't bounce. I do thank all of you for the positive comments and we will post some pics of the unboxing in a couple of weeks! Rob has been a pleasure to work with on this and I wouldn't hesitate to deal again in the future.
