scans: Sega pinball flyers (part 3)

This is part 3 (of 4) of Sega pinball scans graciously provided to me by Mike Minchew. This was originally going to be three parts, but there are just too many flyers to share.

This post and the next are Sega flyers for imported pinball machines, mostly from Williams but also some Stern machines.  Please see posts 1 and 2 for the Sega-made pinball machines. The Motocross flyer is here because it has two Sega pins in the background as well.

The following flyers are included. Click on the text under each image to go to the Internet archive page for.

This blog stands in protest against the USA's horrific attempts to eliminate trans people from society. Trans people have always existed, in every society, but the administration has embraced a moral panic, declared a war against reality, and says that trans people can no longer be allowed to exist. This includes making their healthcare illegal, censoring books and school curriculum from university level down to elementary school, banning trans people from bathrooms, and declaring trans existence to be child abuse.

This blog stands in solidarity with all of the youth who are being terrorized by a fascist president that has declared them to be threats that must be eliminated.

The USA is disappearing random brown people off the streets via unidentified masked gestapo and shipping them off to concentration camps and notorious foreign prisons, all with no due process. The world witnessed ICE execute a mother and a nurse and then lie about what we saw. Solidarity for all who are in the gaze of this American Nazism terror campaign against its own people.

scans: Sega pinball flyers (part 1)

Mike Minchew has generously scanned all of his Sega pinball flyers for us! These flyers are quite valuable and most of these have not been publicly archived in high resolution before. Amongst the other scans he's provided, note that Mike gave us 4 pinball import flyers from Japan. 

Mike Minchew is a prolific flyer collector with over 12,000 flyers available for trade.  He buys flyers and can be reached at mike.minchew@verizon.net

There is much ground to cover so this is the first of 3 posts with the scans.

In this first post we have: 

Skill Ball - スキルボール by セガ (Sega)
1971 Carnival - カーニバル by セガ (Sega)
1971 Sapporo - サッポロ by セガ (Sega)
1971 Winner - ウイナー by セガ (Sega)
1972 Crazy Clock - クレジー・クロック by セガ (Sega)
1972 Explorer - エクスプローラー by セガ (Sega)
1972 Robin Hood - ロビンフッド by セガ (Sega)
1972 Surfing - サーフィン by セガ (Sega)
1973 Galaxy - ギャラクシー by セガ (Sega)

I am not sure of the year of Skill Ball.  I have it down as probably 1970. Another source says maybe 1971.  I definitely have a photograph of it from 1972, but I assume it's before then. (there's a lot of detective work required in sussing out details from the early 1970s)

scan: Taito 1975-03 price list

One of the most expensive things we've bought when you factor $$ per pages, but early Japanese arcade materials are incredibly hard to procure.  We paid up so you never have to.  Thank you to everyone who contributed to help make this happen, and thank you to Joey / Detchibe for scanning.

help wanted: 4 more price lists from Taito and Esco

Another 4 rare price lists have hit the auctions and it's time to rattle that can again.

Prices on rare Japanese arcade ephemera is  RIDICULOUS, but if we all work together we can make a large problem a bit smaller, get more materials digitized, and, hopefully, we can all come together and tank the market a bit. :)

New to this?  Well previously we did a group buy of Sega & Taito price lists, and then a few months prior to that we did a MASSIVE community effort to purchase a huge run of Coin Journal magazines.

Want to pitch in to assist archiving Japan's arcade history?  I can take PayPal or Wise at thetastates@gmail.com or if you're in Canada you can send e-transfer there. 

Worried about whether I can reliably produce?  Check the scans tag here or the research publications list of my eremeka project. (if you have been here before, yes I am trying to keep my pitch a bit tighter and leaning into my reputation)

So what are we looking at? 4 price lists from the 1970s:

Taito ~1976

Taito 1978-09

Taito 1979-03

Esco Trading ~77/78

Our friend Greg at the International Arcade Museum Library has agreed to pay for half the costs so any money you give us for these auctions is DOUBLED!

We are currently at ¥12k for each of the Taito price lists and ¥14,000 for the Esco Trading one.  It is hard to say what they will go for, but the 1976 Taito will probably go for closer to ¥20,000 and I have a hard time estimating the Esco Trading one since so few have ever appeared!  But if it's Japanese and has pinball on the cover and is from the 1970s, it's probably going to go for a lot of yen.

Thanks to everyone who keeps helping amazing things happen!  And if you can't contribute at this time, thanks for being here anyways and cross your fingers for us.

UPDATES: Thank you to Agnes, William, James, Nazox, Joey.  We've had more interested in the Esco, so here's a breakdown on the flyer contributions:

Taito flyers: (3000 + 1000 + 2000 + 800) x 2 = ¥13600 each
+ 1000 yen I'll put on the earliest Taito one
Esco: (4000 + 1500 + 2000 + 800 + 1800) x 2 = ¥20200
