Re: Vector game flyers?

I collect them for the games I have. I use a big 3 ring
binder for each game (the kind that has a clear 'slip in'
on the front and back. I take the original flyer and
make a color copy. I put the front copy of the flyer
in the front of the binder and the back copy in the back
of the binder. Then inside the binder I have the original
flyer, owners/operator manual, schematics and any related doc's,
FAQ's and what ever inside the binder itself. Everything is
in those clear slips with the 3 holes. Makes a nice point
of reference for each game with some visual impact.

Thanks Al. I was just surprised to find new flyers for games (Aztarac,
Zektor, Quantum, etc. in particular) that back in the 1990's we all were
doubting had ever been produced in more than a couple piece volumes. ;-)
(And these flyers were all from the local distributors here in Portland, OR
no less!)

I hadn't really thought about what to do with 'em. There was a ton of laser
games and other stuff though (lots of multiples), so maybe I'll just divide
'em up into sets with one of each piece and put them up on eBay in bundles.
The last thing I want to do is go into business selling fragile pieces of
paper one at a time. ;-)

Or, maybe we'll make some sort of big, framed wall piece for Ground Kontrol
with some of 'em... People might get a kick out of that.

The other thing I found in the box that was kinda neat was a bunch of old
price lists and a (presumably promotional) earnings report for a bunch of
games. It's all from about mid-1983/1984 or so.
