Yes it matters to me. Big time. One of the easiest and clearest indicators of how much play a game has gotten and how well it was taken care of.

Quoted from kporter946286:Yeah Shooter lane is the least of my worries and Cab fad, coin door, faded art ect is way more important to me. I don't look at the shooter lane and 99% of games its dark and you can't see it great anyways. Plus i personally don't think a little darkened wood or wear in that area looks bad. especially if you are comparing it to Faded or dented cabinets or busted coin doors much more noticable
You rarely see a heavily worn shooter lane that is not accompanied by heavily worn outholes, playfield wear, and other game damage. Playfield restoration is typically much more expensive than replacing some cabinet decals (and I also think cabinet decals are typically easier to find than NOS or repro pf's.)
