Cadaco has been producing the ETHAN ALLAN ALL STAR BASEBALL GAME since the 1940's. It is in many ways the root of APBA and STRAT-O-MATIC. Very simple to play. You just put the disc in and spin the spinner to get the result of the at-bat.
The card set is overall in EXCELLENT-NEAR MINT condition. The game contains a complete set of 1991 edition player discs. I have inventoried and inspected the cards and every card has been accounted for. The cards have never been removed from the original perforated sheets. There are a few tears in the sheets but none of these affect the actual player discs. Click HERE for a complete list of the players included with this set. I would grade them 8-9 on a 10 scale (see condition guide below).
The other game parts are in NEAR MINT condition. The game is 100% complete with all of the game components accounted for. There is a light crease on one of the spinner decks but it does not appear that the game was ever assembled. Overall I would grade the game parts 9 on a 10 scale (see condition guide below).
The game box
is in EXCELLENT condition. No split corners. The
lid has some slight sinking from having another game stacked on top and
one of the aprons has a crease it where it looks like perhaps it got
stepped on. Nice bright colors, no stains or writing, very
little rubbing. I would grade it a 7-8 on a
10
scale (see condition guide below).

CONDITION GUIDE:
MINT
(10): I will only give this grade
to brand new, unused items. NEAR MINT (9):
Shows virtually no use. Seldom if ever played.
Cards
will have at worst some dented corners from shuffling around in the
box. Perhaps some very light handling creases to the
instructions
or other minor flaws with the game parts. Boxes will have
only
the slightest hint of shelf wear. EXCELLENT (7-8):
The game has seen some use but it was obviously well taken care of.
Cards may have denting to the corners, perhaps a few may have
light stains or other very light handling wear but the vast
majority will be close to flawless. Game parts
might have
some light handling creases or other signs of
careful use. Board might have just a hint of color loss or
dented
corners. Boxes will have light rubbing to the artwork or
perhaps
some minor dishing or a very light stain. VERY GOOD (5-6):
The game was not especially well cared for but it still has
faired pretty well. Cards will have dented corners and
perhaps
some may have rubber band wear to the edges. A few cards
(less
than 10%) may have handling creases, yellowing to the
edges
(a few may be yellowed on the faces), or light stains.
Perhaps a
couple may have writing or some dried rubber band residue (this will be
noted). All card results will be fully readable.
Other game
parts will show obvious use but nothing will be torn, badly
stained or have any serious damage. Box may have
some
rubbing, light staining, dishing, 1 or 2 neatly split corners,
minor writing and/or a few pieces of tape. No major
structural
damage and artwork will still be generally attractive. GOOD (3-4):
Obviously no care was taken with the game but it is still playable as
is. Cards will show moderate to heavy use and many will be
yellowed, stained, creased, written on or have rubber band
residue. A couple may be
torn and taped back together. All
card results will be fully readable. Other game parts show
considerable use but the game is complete with all parts in
usable
condition. Box may have staining, writing, split
corners,
dishing and/or other structural damage but it will be intact and still
usable. POOR
(1-2):
Only suitable to fill a space in your collection.
Cards are
heavily worn and some are badly damaged. Game will be missing
parts (these will be noted). Box will have serious damage and
may
be missing aprons or badly torn.
