AMERICAN
Pocket Baseball Game
|
This is a simple little
dice driven baseball game.
You just the dice and look up the combination on the legend above the
diamond to get the result. Pegs are used to keep track of the results.
The instructions are printed on the back of the slip-case cover. It
features some nice period artwork.
|
The game parts are in
POOR-GOOD condition. It is missing 2 of the 3 dice and a number of
wooden pegs. There are some extra holes punched in the field and a few
other small tears. No stains or writing. Bright colors. Overall I would
grade the game parts 2-3 on a 10 scale (see condition guide below).
|
The slip-case is in GOOD-VERY GOOD condition. There
is a tear in the cover litho where I would assume some tape was removed
and there are other signs of shelf-wear. No significant stains but
there is foxing visible especially on the white back. No writing.
Colors are vivid. I would grade it a 4-5 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.
