You can typically still find those old handheld pinball games they used to sell at dime stores back in the day for pretty cheap. The other day I scored two ultra lame, very faded ones with snoozy sports themes like boring ass basketball, and tiresome tennis-- YAWN! A buck 'n a quarter each and I already knew exactly what I was gonna do with 'em as soon as I got home. The cardboard image backing usually just slides right out, only held in place by a couple of plastic clips which you can easily maneuver around. The great thing about these two games is that the backing card image is exactly the same size as a postcard, and knowing that I have a huge collection of much more interesting subject matter in those same, manageable dimensions, I immediately got to work swappin' them both out. The only trimming required was at the bottom right corner of each, you know, to get around the pinball flipper. I'm sure you'll agree that these are much more fun now!
