A complete set of Hong Kong white shoe players (with the hole in the base) in EXCELLENT-NEAR MINT condition. The players have been numbered. Each player has been carefully inspected for wear and casting defects. They show very little use but some do have excess plastic from poor casting. 1 tackle is crouched a bit more upright than the other. He was not glued so it must have happened while he was cooling. This team does not include the original bag. I would grade this set a 8 on a 10 scale (see condition guide below - factory paint job is not factored into the grading).
CONDITION GUIDE:
NOTE: The grading scale below is designed to measure wear
and defects. It does not take into account the
quality of
the
factory paint job. If you would like me to give you an
assessment
of the paint drop me an email and I would be glad to oblige.
MINT
(10): I will only give this grade
to brand new, unused items. NEAR MINT (9):
Other than the fact that they were removed from the bag they
are as new and free of casting flaws. EXCELLENT
(7-8): These
were played with but very lightly. Perhaps 1 or 2 players
have
minor paint wear to the fingertips, a slight curl to the base, or have
minor casting flaws that can be cleaned up (excess plastic) VERY GOOD (5-6): The
players were not especially well cared for but are not badly worn
either.
There may be some paint wear to the fingertips of 3-4
players, a
couple players may be yellowed, perhaps 1 player may have a "lean" or a
more serious casting flaw (such as a
hole caused by an air bubble).
GOOD
(3-4):Obviously
no care was taken with this team. Numerous players will have
paint wear, yellowing or casting flaws, a couple may be "leaners"
but all
players are still fully intact with no breaks.
POOR
(1-2):
Only suitable to fill a space in your collection.
Will have heavy wear, probably including some broken players.
