    Default Pachinko BALLS... Are they themselves collectible?

    I have a question about the pachinko BALLS. Are they collectible?

    I have quite an assortment, some are very old and have painted red or white monograms/ Japanese writing.

    collectable maybe, some people like different designs, other balls more valuable than others. probably not,
    that is unless you can find a ball with a bunny on it, then call me to discuss a price

    Anything is collectible. I once went through Pachislo tokens, making binders full of each different token I found. I even went as far as to start a thread here where myself and other members traded batches of different tokens. I am sure there is not much of a monetary value to the collection I put together but it was fun.

    I vaguely remember someone making a display for wall hanging tokens and I think there might have a display for pachinko balls as well.

    If it is something you are interested in, I say go for it.

    I steal one ball from every parlor I go to in Japan. I couldn't tell you which ball came from where, but I have them in a container. Will be collecting more in a couple weeks.

    I got several packs of those with a machine I bought from a private seller. Every one of the balls had rust on it.

    I got them from eBay. There are matching balls in each package but each package is different. Had one bag with like 2-3 rusty balls in it that I used in the vintage, the rest have been good quality. Left a couple bags unopened for the nostalgia.

    I think they are packaged by the U.S. importer who imported machines for resale. Seems that I saw some labeled "Pachinko Palace" before.
