Help on identifying a vintage baseball card vending machine

[Lecomdoc]

Thanks for the reply. Here's the photo. Not sure how many cards are dispensed, I actually haven't played with it too much yet until I knew more about it

Very nice! It looks early '80s to me.

On a side note, was the pedicure done purposefully to match the red of the machine? Nice touch.

I agree. The graphics scream "80s"

Graphic screens 80's but most card vending machines were made earlier and like in this case modified and refurbished to take advantage of the boom in the late 80's. Looks like a mid sixties machine. Is there any manufacture stamp on the machine. Maybe under or inside?

Where do the cards come out?

I remember my local card shop having something similar as a kid in the late 80s early 90s. Where it says pull there is a slot where the cards would come out. The one I remember, the card would come out in a white cardboard folder.

Could it be a fantasy piece...for 80's card packs for a local card shop?

Same. There was always a sign about "winning" A Ken griffey rookie inside etc. No one ever won lol. Always had the white cardboard kind of like the holo sticker machines too
