SPORTS ILLUSTRATED BOWL BOUND
COLLEGE FOOTBALL GAME
WITH CHARTS SET 1

BOWL BOUND is the follow-up to the SPORTS ILLUSTRATED COLLEGE FOOTBALL GAME of the early 70's.  Each game includes a set of color coded team charts.  The charts reflects the success of the team in running a variety of offensive and defensive plays.  It is one of the most playable sports simulations ever created yet still manages to produce realistic results.

The other game parts are in EXCELLENT-NEAR MINT condition.  The game includes the field, 5 special dice, the 10 yard marker, football marker, instructions and scoreboard.   There is one very small stain on the chart legend and another on the scoreboard.  Overall I would grade the game parts 8-9 on a 10 scale (see condition guide below).

The game box is in EXCELLENT condition.  Very nice shape for one these longbox games.  The boxes were very flimsy and are usually found broken in many places.  This one has no splits and very little rubbing to the cover art.  Just a couple light creases near the corners from stacking.  The box bottom has some staining as would be expected with a white box but not bad at all.   Also includes the team bio sheet that was originall placed under on top of the box bottom when the game was shrinkwrapped.  I would grade it a 7 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.  Charts 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 very minor shelf wear.   EXCELLENT (7-8): The game has seen some use but it was obviously well taken care of.  Charts 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 rubbing.  Boxes will have light rubbing to the artwork or perhaps some minor dishing.   VERY GOOD (5-6):  The game was not especially well cared for but it still has faired pretty well.  Charts will have light handling creases or light stains.  Perhaps a couple may have a few stray pen marks or a small edge tear.  All chart 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.  Charts will show moderate to heavy use and many will be yellowed, stained, creased, torn or written on.  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.  Charts 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.
