This version of the SPORTS ILLUSTRATED BASEBALL GAME is the same game as the previous 1974 SUPERSTAR BASEBALL edition but with a different look. It includes the exact same player cards that came with the 1974 version - a set of the 96 greatest players of all time (through the 1960's). As always it uses the same basic game play as the previous SPORTS ILLUSTRATED BASEBALL GAME editions. This is the first "bookshelf" edition of this version of the game.
This copy is brand new, still sealed in the original shrinkwrap. The game box is in NEAR MINT condition. There is a bit of sinking on the lid from stacking. No creases, no stains or writing. Only some minor scuffing to the corners. No fading to the box art. Very nice indeed. 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.
Cards
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
the slightest hint of 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 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. 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 or written on. A couple may be
torn and taped back together. 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.
