About the Ads
Lamination
Lamination for any ad is available for $1.50 per page. If you are not going to file the ad
in a binder in a sheet protector, then this is the way to go. Makes the ad look very
attractive, while making it much more robust to handle. You can leave them on or
near your game for people to pick up and read. Note that all
non-laminated ads are shipped in sheet protectors at no extra charge.

Please Be Patient
If you order these ads it may take me a day or two to
complete the work on them. Please be patient, as you are buying
my time for about $2 an hour to make these ads look nice!
If you wish an ad for a game or machine not listed
please just ask - I can usually respond within a day or less.
Note: I do not
sell or provide raw photocopies or high resolution scans of ads.
Ad Sizes
The original ads came in all shapes and sizes. Many were taken from
oversized magazines and were full page, half page or quarter page and after
scanning and editing fill up most of an 8.5 by 11 page. Other ads were smaller
than that and did not contain game pictures or sketches. These are priced
accordingly less. Ask if you have any questions!
Other images come directly from manfacturers brochures and are generally
full page sized. Some are full color, while others contain one spot color such
as red.

Shipping is at a flat rate (currently just over $3, but see the shopping cart for actual price)
for one or more ads (USA and Canada - other destinations will be more). If you are ordering oversized
ads that need to be rolled and shipped in a tube, the cost could be a couple of dollars higher. I don't
profit on shipping and sometimes lose.
