The game parts are in VERY
GOOD-EXCELLENT condition. It's very difficult to get one of these with
all the original pieces. This one is nearly complete. The only thing
missing is the playbook. The playbook is really not needed to play the
game though as there are plenty of sources for plays available online.
Everything else has been accounted for right down to the end zone
flags. Even includes the original plastic tree that all the parts were
attached to. The decals for the 10 yard marker have peeled off and the
game only has 2 of the original 6 felt footballs. Nothing is broken,
cracked or chipped. The game was not stored particularly carefully so
the goal posts and some of the other plastic parts have bent a bit but
these can be straightened out. Overall I would grade the game parts 6-7
on a 10 scale (see condition guide below).

The teams are in VERY
GOOD-EXCELLENT condition. They are both the original issue Hong Kong
Chicken Leg teams that came with this edition of the game. Both teams
are 100% complete. None of the players are broken or mended and none
are leaning. One of the Cowboys guards has what looks like a bite mark
in his leg and some paint loss to his foot. One of the Rams guards has
heavy paint wear to one leg. Otherwise just some light paint wear to a
few players. Many of the uniform numbers have peeled off.
All the bases have their
clips and brushes intact and all of them have
the red TTC brushes intact. Some of these brushes are bent but they can
be "tweaked" to get them back into shape. Also includes the red tool
used to attach and adjust the TTC peg. This has what looks like a few
bite marks on it. Overall I would grade the teams 6-7 on a 10 scale
(see condition guide below).

The box is in VERY GOOD
condition. It has a few
tears and creases but no significant stains and no writing. The flap
that was opened to remove the game is badly torn. Overall I would grade
the box 5-6 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.
