PRESSMAN
Action Baseball Game
196? Edition
|
Pressman is well-known for
it's ACTION BASEBALL
Tabletop Games of the 1950's and 1960's. There were a number of
different editions but they were all essentially the same game except
for the player endorsements.

The game is in EXCELLENT
condition. It does not have any pegs or other game components that came
with it originally. Just the board and mechanism. The frame is solid
and the batting and pitching mechanisms are intact. I tried the game
out with a marble and could not get it to pitch correctly but I may
have been doing it wrong. There is a small dent in the lower right
corner (near the balls and strikes peg holes). Otherwise nice shape
with no significant scratches, dents, stains or writing. Overall I
would grade condition of the game 7-8 on a 10 scale (see condition
guide below).
|
The game box is in GOOD condition. Some staining and
other general shelf wear. All the corners are split. I would grade it a
4 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.
