Collecting arcade flyers
« on: May 13, 2006, 12:33:41 pm »
While I would love to get into collecting classic coin-ops, I don't really have the resources or space to get sucked in at the moment.  So I've decided that the next best thing is collecting classic coin-op flyers!  Any other arcade flyer fans out there?

I was wondering if anyone has any good sources for ringbound, protective Mylar sleeves?  I haven't had a ton of luck searching online, and they're a bit pricey so I'd hate to order the wrong thing.

I buy an original flyer for each machine I own. The plan is to frame them and hang them up when the gameroom is finished.
NO MORE!!

I only have my mame cab right now but I print flyers and post them all over the arcade area of the basement.  Its not much of an arcade thought.

I've thought about doing the same thing. Flyers are fairly cheap depending on the game and would look cool next to the game.

Yep. I bought my X-Men flyer for 6.00 or so. The seller actually included some other flyers free. The free ones were not too special, though one was a Space Invaders cocktail flyer.
