Strat-O-Matic has been producing statistical replay games since the 1960's. These games are very detailed and highly realistic yet they are flexible enough to allow you to play at the level of complexity you are most comfortable with. There have been numerous changes to the game over the years. The College Football game had 2 different incarnations, one in the 70's and 1 in the 80's. They are not compatible. This listing is for a complete game. It includes all the components you need to play this edition the game.
The team cards
are in VERY GOOD condition.The
game contains a complete set
of cards reflecting the 1988 season stats. I have inventoried and
inspected the cards and every card has been accounted for.
Most cards are in nice shape but there are a few cards that
have dried rubber band residue on them, a few with writing and a few
with creases but none of this will affect your ability to read the card
results. I would grade them 5 on a 10
scale (see condition guide below).

The other game parts are in VERY GOOD condition. The game is 100% complete with all of the game components accounted for. I have not counted the cardboard tokens but if you find that some are missing I can supply you with replacements. Overall I would grade the game parts 6 on a 10 scale (see condition guide below).
The game box is in GOOD - VERY GOOD condition. 2 corners have been mended with clear tape and the box bottom looks like it probably got wet at one time. I would grade it a 5 on a 10 scale (see condition guide below).

Do you know that sinking feeling when you are in the middle of
replaying a
season or sequence of games only to find that the card for one of the
key
players is missing? Well I have thoroughly
inventoried this set and
compared it to the roster list so you can be assured that you
won't get
that feeling while playing with this set. I am not of the
opinion
that a simple card count
will do. The sets often came with missing or
duplicate cards from the
factory, and who knows what the original owner may have done with them
in the course of playing with them.... Be sure to ask
your card seller if they have in fact verified
that the card set is complete by comparing it to the
original roster
list.
I have also carefully inspected each and every
card in order to determine the condition grade I have given to this
set. I do
not feel that a cursory flipping through of the cards is adequate to
determine the condition of a set - it is too easy to miss
something.
Once again - always ask your
card seller to verify that they have done a
careful inspection of the condition of all the cards in the set
before putting their grade on it.
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.
Cards 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. Cards will have dented corners and
perhaps
some may have rubber band wear to the edges. A few cards
(less
than 10%) may have handling creases, yellowing to the
edges
(a few may be yellowed on the faces), or light stains.
Perhaps a
couple may have writing or some dried rubber band residue (this will be
noted). All card 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. Cards will show moderate to heavy use and many will be
yellowed, stained, creased, written on or have rubber band
residue. A couple may be
torn and taped back together. 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.
Cards 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.
