CADACO Bas-Ket Basketball Game
1973 Edition
|
|
Bas-ket was one of the most
popular games Cadaco ever created. Cadaco manufactured the
game from
1938-2004, and in 2011 Ideal issued a very similar game called
"Street
Hoops". Game play is very simple. There are holes placed
across the board to give
different shooting angles. Each
hole contains a
flipper. Players try to flip the ball into their opponents'
basket. The artwork in the game changed quite a bit over the
years, but game
play remained the same.

The game parts are in VERY
GOOD-EXCELLENT condition. The game is 100% complete. It includes the
playing field (with all levers in perfect working order), the
backboards, the plastic nets and the ball. The court has light creases
near the flippers but not enough to cause any effect on the game play.
The backboards show minimal wear with no creases or stains. No tears to
the nets. Ball is likely not original but it is the same type as the
one that came with the game. Overall I would grade the game parts 6-7
on a 10 scale (see condition guide below).

The game box is in VERY GOOD-EXCELLENT condition. It
has some scuffing to the edges and a small puncture mark in the lid. A
couple small tape marks on one of the long aprons and on the box
bottom. No writing. Minimal rubbing. I would grade it a 6-7 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.
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 taken care of
well. 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
fared 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 perfectly
playable. 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.
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.
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.
