I have been learning some pinball history by reading D. Pettit's wonderful Pinball List & Price Guide (2011 edition). Here is a list of pinballs that he has labeled "Significantly Collectible" in that book. The manufacturers are (G)ottlieb, (W)illiams, (B)ally, and one (S)tern, and the production numbers and prices/values are copied from the book. Corrections very welcome. (I wonder with a tear in my eye if I will live to see any new entries on this list.)
