I know the Pole Position and Solar Fox are glass. I am pretty sure but not positive the Mouse Trap and King & Balloon are plexi, but since I'm not positive, I left them in there.

I'm not busting you, just wanted to provide a word of warning to you and potential buyers. I have sold some rare and high priced pinball back glasses in the past and I have yet to find a shipper that will insure against glass breakage. I've tried USPS, UPS and Fed Ex. Potentail buyers told me they tried others too, but they had no success. They will insure the package against being lost, but not against glass breakage. Even if you pack to their standards or use a UPS packing store to pack it or whatever, they still don't insure against breakage.

About all you can do is wrap it up to survive a bomb and then hope and pray. Everyone has their preferences, but I wouldn't use USPS or UPS for glass. I'd take my chances on Fed Ex. But in the end, it's human beings working for all of them and it's all chance.

Finally, potential buyers, don't be scared away. I have yet to have one broken on me. But a local buddy who goes to more extremes on packing than me has lost several (then again, he sells a lot more than me), so go figure.
 
Wow ... tough crowd.

:)

I am going to try not to be defensive here. I am pretty sure my positive feedback speaks for itself on the items that I have sold here over the years.

I'll say two things and then leave this alone:

1. I have shipped over 40 glass bezels in the last two years. As far as I know, only one has arrived broken (a Scramble bezel that was going from Florida to Washington state). I pack these things to survive ... most of the time, they do. When it leaves my house, it will be as protected as I can possibly make it. As I stated, I will ship, track, and insure these items before they leave Florida. There is a very good chance that the bezel will arrive unharmed, but certainly there is no guarantee. I would hope that most of us understand that and would purchase accordingly.

2. The Xevious bezel still has the original backing on it, so if it was at once point installed in a game, that would have been the most boring that anyone had ever played. It does have a scratch or two on it from being stored with other bezels, but I assure you it will look flawless when you remove the protective covering and install it in your machine. If you buy this piece and it is scratched and looks like ass installed on your Xevious machine, I will refund every penny of your money.

I have shipped a few dozen glass bezels and the post office paid on 1 that got broken
