HASBRO / NBC SPORTS
Straightaway Auto Racing Game
1970 Edition
|
This game is part of the
series of sports game released by Hasbro in co-ordination with NBC
Sports during the late 1960's and early 70's. These games all have the
same basic format - a slender box containing the game components with a
wrap-around vinyl playing board. Very similar to the 3M Sports games of
the same era. All of the games feature high quality game parts.
|
The game parts are in VERY
GOOD condition. The cards, car charts and spinner are all in good
shape. There are 2 green cars and all the other cars are of different
colors so I assume that one of these greens ones should be blue. Also
the number stickers have come off the cars. The instructions have a few
pen marks on them. Overall I would grade the game parts 6 on a 10 scale
(see condition guide below).
|
The game box is in
EXCELLENT condition. I would grade it 7 on a 10 scale (see condition
guide below). The wrap-around vinyl playing board is in VERY
GOOD-EXCELLENT condition. The playing surface is in nice shape but the
back has some scuffs and scrapes. I would grade it 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.
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.
