All American Baseball Game
1962 Edition
|
This is a pretty detailed
basic baseball strategy
game. It was endorsed by William McKechnie of the Baseball Hall of Fame
and C.O. Brown (then President of the American Amateur Baseball
Congress) and others. It is a charts and dice game where the play
result is derived from whichever chart corresponds to the present
base-runner/manager strategy situation. Managers select their lineups
from a team of players who have varying skills.
|
The game parts are in
EXCELLENT condition. The game is 100% complete with all parts accounted
for. It appears that the game was hardly played with at all. There are
some paper pieces that have suffered age-related tanning. Otherwise it
looks brand new. Overall I would grade the game parts 7-8 on a 10 scale
(see condition guide below).
|
The game box is in
EXCELLENT condition. Nice clean box. No splits, stains or writing. Just
a little bit of caving from having another game stacked on top. 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.
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.
