CEC & SPP Token Guide
Joe Lewis created original Chuck E. Cheese & Showbiz Pizza Place Token Guide over the course of more than a decade. It was last updated in 2019 and an archival copy can be downloaded here: CEC & SPP Token Guide. This comprehensive resource has served as the foundation for much of the token identification and classification information found here.

Dean Kinest digitized all of the content from the Joe Lewis guide onto his website cectokencollectors.com and then expanded it over the next several years. Dean discovered hundreds of new tokens and added a dozen or so related brands to the catalog. He also conducted in depth research and documentation of the Santa Anna token referred to on his site as the Santa Anna Project. In addition to tokens, Dean maintains a robust catalog of tickets and other promotional items on his site.

Token Images
The images featured in this catalog primarily showcase tokens from my personal collection. This approach ensures consistency in photography and allows us to provide detailed, high-quality images for identification purposes.
We also welcome and encourage user-submitted images, particularly for rare tokens that may not be available in my collection. If you have a token variant we're missing, please consider contributing an image to help fellow collectors.
