RGI released a number of celebrity endorsed statistical replay sports games during the late 60's and early 70's. They included the VINCE LOMBARDI FOOTBALL GAME, THE FRAN TARKENTON FOOTBALL GAME, the OSCAR ROBERTSON PRO BASKETBALL STRATEGY GAME, the GIL HODGES PENNANT FEVER BASEBALL GAME, JACKIE STEWART RACING GAME and ROCKY GRAZIANO BOXING GAME. There may be a couple others that I haven't seen. They are difficult to find and only show up on EBay a few times a year.
The game parts are in VERY GOOD-EXCELLENT condition. It is 100% complete with all game parts accounted for. This edition includes the 1970 season teams. Most of the copies that turn up seem to be with the 1969 season teams. I suspect that this was issued near the end of the line for the production run of this game because most of the parts are on cheaper, non-color paper stock. The game was missing one piece of the paper work when I acquired it but I have included a photocopy of this. 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. There are some stains and 1 split corner. I would grade it a 5 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.
