Long ago I started ranking my games so if/when I wanted something new I already knew exactly which game I was going to sell. The bottom of my list changes sometimes with which game I would part with next. But my top 3 I would never part with has not changed in 5 months now:
1. JJPPOTCSE
2. TWD pro
3. Metallica prem.
What is your top 3?

When I can finally afford a Walking Dead it’ll be a keeper. Loved that game. Recently my local beer garden decided to remove the pin and replace it with god damn VIRTUAL CORN HOLE of all things. Haven’t been back since.
Quoted from PoMC:Big Hurt will never leave and would be the only pin I'd own should I ever sell the rest.
I take it then that having to sell it would really Hurt you?
.
As for my top three keepers? A while back I would have said AFM + MB + BBB because they would have been hard to replace. But they've remade AFM and MB already, and the bastards will probably remake BBB too. So now my top 3 would be games I figure they won't remake: CFTBL + IJ + TZ.

april fools is still a ways off bro

That's a Frank comment.
Quoted from Wickerman2:What in God’s name?
I won’t derail this thread... but it is a true abomination. Not to mention, 10 feet away they have actual corn hole in the courtyard...

I am that way about POTC. Friends think I am only joking when I say I plan to be buried in it when I die.
Quoted from InfiniteLives:april fools is still a ways off bro
Nah, it’s a fun game. I love baseball and this game has some great pinball features that you just don’t see in today’s $5000+ games.
Plus it’s the least expensive pin I have, which is a bonus. Sell all the others and still have a pin I really enjoy.
Quoted from PanzerFreak:1. JJP Pirates LE
2. WOZ ECLE
3. Ghostbusters Premium
Holy cow, two of these are on my all-time bonfire list. No offense, it's just funny how different tastes can be. It takes all kinds.
As of today, I'd put my three keepers at:
Mata Hari
El Dorado (EM)
Houdini
When I find a decent 2001 it'll probably take one of the above spots. Of course this is a list for today and will undoubtedly change by next week...
Quoted from yancy:Iron Maiden
Sinbad
Volley, which is not only the first pin I can recall playing as a kid, but I tracked down THAT EXACT MACHINE.
I wouldn't know how to identify it, but somewhere out there is the Black Knight I poured quarters into at the 7-11. Would love to have that same one.

Good choice. Maiden premium, sinbad, and met for me, although elvira 3 might nudge it's way in
My list is gonna be unpopular but if I based it off my current collection, some of which I really haven’t finished restoring to properly play, it would be:
•Baby Pac-Man - I have the original floor model from the original Fun Spot they bought NIB back in ‘82 and documentation to prove it. I think that’s awesome. When I cleaned it out it also had quite a few Fun Spot tokens from the 80’s so you could tell every year they took it out of rotation (probably because it broke down so much)
•Orbitor 1 - I’ve spent too much time fooling around with this game to possibly sell it
• Torpedo Alley - one of the very first games I wanted when I joined the hobby and finally got one after 3 years.
Only game that could bump TA off the list would be TWD premium, with the Slayer mod.
Long before I joined Pinside I enjoyed looking at the top 100 and reading the comments about the games I thought I was interested in purchasing. I always wondered about last ability, and that is why I wanted to start this. I know what I will never part with, and wanted to see what others like, so if I see one in the wild I can try it myself.
Difficult to let go of ones I have strong memories of playing as a kid, plus there's not a lot of money in those, so why sell anyway.
Interflip Dragon - got a NOS one out of the Time Travel Warehouse
Black Knight
The third one might be the only NIB I'll ever buy the way things have been going, ha
