This game was endorsed by a number of famous college football coaches (John McKay, Darrel Royal, Ara Parseghain and Charles McClendon). It's a pretty simple game - you just spin the cylinder and look up the play in the viewing slot based on the defense your opponent chose - but the game is nicely designed and it has nice period artwork.
The game parts are in VERY GOOD-EXCELLENT condition. The defense cards are still attached to each other so I assume the game was never played. There is some peeling on the decals but it is very minor. The corners of the grandstand cut-out have some scuffing and some tape stains and the cut-out football and 10 yd markers have some wear to the edges. On the whole though the game is in nice shape. Overall I would grade the game parts 6-7 on a 10 scale (see condition guide below).
The game box is in VERY GOOD condition. No tears, stains or writing but there is rubbing and sun-fading on the artwork. I would grade it a 6 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.
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.
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. 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. 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.
Game will be missing
parts (these will be noted). Box will have serious damage and
may
be missing aprons or badly torn.
