Avalon Hill began producing it's FOOTBALL STRATEGY Game in 1960. It was originally released in a flat box format. In the early 70's it was repackaged as a bookcase game and again repacked with the "Sports Illustrated" tie-in in the mid 70's. There were a few changes made to the possible play selections over the years but the basic format remained the same. This particular copy dates to sometime in the 80's.
Brand new, still sealed in the
original shrinkwrap. No creasing, staining or writing.
Corners have some wear. Box lid is nice and flat, no
stacking damage. A few tears in the shrinkwrap.
The game box
is in NEAR MINT condition. I would grade it a 9 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.
