IDEAL
|
This is part of a series of sports strategy games that Ideal put out in the late 60's. Your managerial decisions will decide who wins. There is very little luck involved. This particular copy is the "Professional" edition with the imitation pigskin box cover and the more realistic looking player tokens. This is much harder to find than the standard version. |
The game parts are in VERY GOOD condition. The game includes 2 complete sets of plastic teams pieces, the scoreboard, instructions booklet, 2 dice, board and original packing materials. The instructions have some handling wear and previous owner wrote numbers next to some helmet pictures on the cover and "X"d others. I guess he was showing his disapproval... The board has a coulple dented corners. Everything else is in great shape and looks hardly used. Overall I would grade the game parts 7-8 on a 10 scale (see condition guide below). |
The game box is in VERY GOOD condition. Box lid has 1 corner that is split and one that looks like it may have gotten stepped on but did not split. Box bottom has 2 splits. I would grade it a 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.
