Question
QUESTION: I have a Chicago Coin Baseball machine. I can't find a date on it. It is really old, but it is functional. I would like to sell it. What would be a fair price for it?
ANSWER: Hi, Chicago Coin made a lot of baseball games. You'll need to be more specific. What is the exact name of the game on the painted backglass? Larry

QUESTION: The exact name for the machine is Bull's Eye Baseball. Thank you
Hi Daniel, Chicago Coin Bulls Eye baseball was made in 1967. They competed with the other baseball game maker, Williams Electronics. Williams games had the famous man running unit, where behind the backglass a physical player would pop up and run the bases when typically the Chicago Coin games only had light animation of base runners, or nothing at all. Because of this CC games don't bring as much as Wiliams. Your game would sell for $400-500 in good working condition. Larry www.coinoplibrary.com
