Dear Pinsiders!

Please take a minute to answer this best pinball backglass art survey!

http://www.surveymonkey.com/s/TBSVP2L

Just looking for what your Top 5 favorite pinball backglasses are.

Not cabinets, not playfields, just backglasses.

Backglass can be either painted "traditional" backglass or "modern" translite.

Thanks!

Well... it's Monday and I only got 13 responses, but they were 13 really good responses!

Attached is the little over Top 50 top Pinball Backglasses.

When I put in my $.02 I added a few beyond my top 5 to round out the list a bit.

Thanks to everyone who participated.

I'll leave the survey up for a bit. If I get a decent number of additional responses. I'll re-run the numbers.

Thanks!

Lee

First column Rank is how "good" the backglass is from best to worst
Second column Row Labels is the name of the pin
Third column (unlabeled) is the year of the pin
Fourth column "1" is how many people voted this pin's backglass as 1 = best.
Fifth column "2" is how many people voted this pin's backglass as 2 = good.
ditto for Sixth "3" and Seventh "4"
Eighth column "5" is how many people voted this pin's backglass as 5 = good, but the least of the 5 voted for.
Ninth column "6" is a column I put in for some backglasses that were not in my personal top 5, but I thought they should probably be listed (so I gave them each a separate "vote" for "6th place").
Tenth column Grand Total is a sum of all votes for that particular pin.

Pins are sorted first by column 10, Grand Total sum of all votes (most popular), then by most 1 votes, most 2 votes, etc.... Then finally by alphabetical in case of a tie.

Wow! Up to 32 responses!

Here's the update results as of 10PM on Monday 6/17.

Current Top 10 Backglasses

1 Paragon
2 Fathom

I should have been more specific. Any backglass art - whether traditional backglass or translite.

Just NOT cabinets or playfields.

Will edit the original post.

Thanks!

Up to 55 respondents.

A couple of you are NAUGHTY Pinsiders. Voting the same machine (Paragon) for 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5.

Nobody do that again, or I won't count any of your votes.

Too many more try that stunt... I'm done crunching numbers...

Current results (up to 99 "best" backglasses) attached.

Thanks!

Glad you like it.
