    Quoted from gdonovan:

    I think the classic EM pin will hold its value better than a wood rail as they are closer to the pattern of what a standard pin is now. Wood rails tend to have features that dead ended like gobble holes.
    2 flippers, standard slings with outlanes, 3 to 5 poppers, drop target banks, spinners, etc. Late 60s to 70s EM seem to set the bar in pin design aside from ramps and subways.

    I agree with this. Seems like more and more people that are serious SS collectors are starting to look at 60s/70s EMs as viable options in their collections. Even if that means only one or two games, that increases demand over time, at least for A/B titles. Case in point 4-player Gottlieb pins in good shape from the 70s like Royal Flush, Out of Sight, Jet Spin, Target Alpha to name a few have started to move the needle quite a bit lately.
