MILTON BRADLEY
Wide World Of Sports Auto Racing Game
1975 Edition
|
This game is part of the
series of sports game
released by Milton Bradley in co-ordination with ABC's Wide World Of
Sports TV show during the late 1970's. The games are all pretty simple.
To my knowledge only 3 games were ever released - Tennis, Golf and Auto
Racing.

The game parts are in
EXCELLENT-NEAR MINT condition. I have done a thorough inventory and
inspection of the game parts and it includes all the parts that
originally came with this edition game. It appears that the game was
rarely, if ever, played with but the track pieces have suffered some
rubbing during storage and the instructions show light handling.
Overall I would grade the game parts 8-9 on a 10 scale (see condition
guide below).
|
The game box is in VERY GOOD condition. The lid has
2 split corners and some rubbing but no stains or writing and no
scuffing. The box bottom is nice and white but has some scraping along
the edges near one corner. It is a bit bowed on the sides as you can
see in the pics. I would grade the box 6 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.
