Here's a nice example of "Fish Tales."

On the left, "Sky Jump," one of my favorite Gottlieb wedgehead pins.

"The Champ" was at the show.

"Shaq" was also present.

On the left, a Bally "Future Spa," pin, one of which I played new in the late 70's at "The Concorde," a resort that was located in the Catskills in upstate New York. To the right, a rare Williams "Aces & Kings" electromechanical pin, designed by the legendary Steve Kordek.

It truly was a "Big Deal," to see such a great example of a reverse wedgehead pin.

These pins were brand new.

 

I played them.

The hotel bar had a "South Park" pin.

"Party Zone" was one of my favorite pins at the show.

Here's one of the coolest Gottlieb pins ever made.

Speaking of Gottlieb, John Osborne signed a pic of part of my "Neptune" pin, which he designed. I played this pin in the late 70's at an arcade in Coney Island.

John Buras signed a pic of part of a rare pin I never owned, but he did design.

Elvis was at the show.

The Stern 2004 "Elvis" pin, Elvis approved.

The Bumper Twins, however, stole the show.
