Quoted from chuckwurt:
This is what I don’t understand. I would look everywhere else other than the shooter lane to see if the game has been played to hell and back not the shooter lane.
I could sell my GOT and represent it with less than 100 plays and the condition of my shooter lane would be indicative of that. It’s immaculate. Truth is my game has 6500 plays on it, and various parts of the playfield have signs of that amount of play.
Some people here seem like their concerns are put to rest as soon as they see a shooter lane that looks new. Haha

Unless your shooter lane has protection or a Cliffy, I have to think it shows more than 100 plays.

Like others have said, shooter lane is just one way to help determine the history of a game. It’s like counting the rings on a tree to determine the age, 100% accurate 60% of the time.
