Avalon
Hill began producing it's FOOTBALL STRATEGY Game in 1960. It
was originally released in a flat box format. In the early
70's it was repackaged as a bookcase game and again repacked with the
"Sports Illustrated" tie-in in the mid 70's. There were a few
changes made to the possible play selections over the years but the
basic format remained the same.
This particular copy is the original bookshelf version with
the out slipcase.
The game parts are in VERY GOOD condition. The game is 100% complete with all parts accounted for. The Defense cards have stains and edge wear from use but otherwise the game parts are in nice shape. Overall I would grade the game parts 5 on a 10 scale (see condition guide below).
The slipcase is in
VERY GOOD condition. I would grade it a 5 on a
10
scale (see condition guide below). The game box is in
EXCELLENT condition with 1 split corner. I would grade it 7
on a 10 scale.

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.
