I didn't see it. It seems like every "Lucky Hand" comes from the Nutmeg State!

There was a rash of them for sale in Wisconsin for awhile. I got a real nice one for next to nothing. They seemed to have all found permanent homes as they don't turn up that often anymore. Very fun game.

Will they get it? Are these things realistically selling for this or is it another case of "Testing the waters?

Fellow collector in NY sold his for 1500 at Allentown last rear. I sold mine for that as well 6 months previous. . I think for a nice example 1500 is pretty much spot on for a low production AAB that's card themed with a cool rule set .

350 was a steal

Lucky Hand is what I call my love life.

1974DeltaQueen I was thinking 1000-1200 but then remembered it is like the number 2 or 3 highest rated em and it does depend on condition. It is hard price it when it is not easy finding sale records on a rare machine .

No, that would be the export version; "Hairy Palm"!

What shape was this game in? Depends on how it was stored/kept,and what attention was paid to waxing and such.I have seen quite a few Lucky Hands over the years here in CT/NY that were not well maintained, and are quite worn. The BG is also prone to heavy flaking. If a worn example then 350 is not as great a deal as it first appears...

Good point. I bought a players condition Gold Strike for 400 and traded it for a much nicer Mibs. Sold Mibs and broke even after I put time and cabinet paint into It (and put a few hundred plays on it) Then I regretted Selling it because it was a nice pin that played well. Looked good it was an ideal pinshow mule.
