The Pinball Price Guide, Ninth Edition
Growing up, Eric played pinball wherever he could— in the arcades at the Jersey Shore, at bowling alleys, candy stores, coffee shops, in upstate New York, and later in the student center at college. Being a great player, he could play all afternoon for the price of just three games. There was always a challenge to score some more points by getting the ball to the top of the playfield when it got down near the flippers. New York and New Jersey were big on Add-A-Ball games and replays, which were especially fun to play. Eric became a collector after buying Flipper Fair at an auction in 1990 and later winning machines at two pinball shows he attended. Today, he is still  pursuing the silver ball wherever he goes.
