Arenafoot Posted October 13, 2015 Report Posted October 13, 2015 In New Orleans (where I grew up), we actually had both, Pizza Time Theatre & Showbiz Pizza Place. My best friend had his birthday party at the SPP in Algiers, LA (west bank of NOLA) April 1981 and thats all it took. I was hooked! I wanted to share some of my SPP collection...... The scan below is actually in chronological order from right to left. The orange Skee-Ball tickets were the first ones issued in 1981, then yellow, and then red. Then in 1989-1990, when both companies merged into Showbiz/Pizza Time Inc., they started with purple tickets and dated them too. The last dated ticket I have is the white 1993 ticket - the purple tickets under that white ticket, are the back side of the 1991 purple tickets.

Arenafoot Posted October 14, 2015 Author Report Posted October 14, 2015 I used to have a bunch of tokens and tickets. I ended up using them in the chuck e cheese. Everytime I'd go to CEC and get tokens after ordering, I'd start going thru each token, looking at the year printed on them to see if I needed any of them for my collection before spending them.

Arenafoot Posted October 29, 2015 Author Report Posted October 29, 2015 Do you still have them? If you do that would be wicked! Yes I do! That scan above is from my SPP/CEC collection. I will be adding more pics/scans of my SPP collection soon.

Arenafoot Posted March 14, 2016 Author Report Posted March 14, 2016 Cool Tickets! I've only ever seen the Skeeball type ones in person at a CEC fan convention..Cool! These are my personal collection - I obtained every one of them (and more that didn't make into the scan) from the New Orleans (Algiers), LA SPP. A purchase I made in the late 90's off eBay was a huge bag of common SPP tokens. Actually got a 22mm or 23mm smaller token in the bunch! Its the only one I've ever seen like that. Other SPP items I have: SPP Mitzi pinback button SPP Billy Bob "Brian" kids bicycle license plate SPP "Billy Bob Sez......" plastic 7" rulers SPP "Showbiz Collector's" contest - peel off game pieces Brian Matherne - owner/curator of "The MOST comprehensive list of Atari VCS/2600 homebrews ever compiled." http://tiny.cc/Atari2600Homebrew author of "The Atari 2600 Homebrew Companion" book series available on Amazon! www.amazon.com/author/brianmatherne
patrickglovescec Posted March 15, 2016 Report Posted March 15, 2016 I only have a Showbiz Mug, that mind you, has a matching CEC variant which I also own. That's cool.
