CADACO All-Star Hockey Game
1969 Edition
|
|
This game is very similar
to the Cadaco classic Bas-Ket. In fact, the original title of the game
was "Hoc-Key". Just like in the Basketball game there are holes in
various places on the board. Each hole contains a flipper. Players try
to flip the ball into their opponents' goal. The artwork in the game
changed a few times, but game play remained the same throughout the
production run.

The game parts are in VERY
GOOD condition. The game is 100% complete. It includes the playing
field (with all levers in perfect working order), the scoreboard, the
"puck", 2 goalies and 2 nets. The main issue with the game is that it
has suffered foxing (tiny brown stains) on the surface of all the
cardboard parts due to improper storage. The puck shows typical
scratching from normal game play. The scoreboard is a bit loose because
it is not a very sturdy mounting. You need to be sure to clamp it tight
or it will just flop over. Overall I would grade the game parts 5 on a
10 scale (see condition guide below).

The game box is in
EXCELLENT condition. This is the
original version of the box with the Leafs and Hawks in team colors
with the team logos clearly visible. Later versions of the game have
the team colors altered due to licensing issues. Nice shape with no
stains or writing and no splits. Just a few minor scrapes on the edges
and corners. The box bottom is in similarly excellent condition. I
would grade it a 8 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.
