Cadaco has been manufacturing this game since the 30's (a very similar 1/2 court game was put out by Whitman in the 20's). Cadaco changed the artwork a number of times over the years but the game play is still the same as it was when it first came out 60+ years ago. This particular version is from the late 80's. It features Michael Jordan on the backboards.
The game parts are in VERY GOOD-EXCELLENT condition. The game is 100% complete. It includes the playing field (with all levers in perfect working order), the backboards, the plastic baskets and a ball (not sure if the ball is original - no markings). The court has a few light creases near the levers and holes but nothing significant enough to affect play of the game. Backboards are in great shape. Overall I would grade the game parts 6-7 on a 10 scale (see condition guide below).
The game box is in VERY GOOD-EXCELLENT condition. It has some rubbing and some other general shelf wear but on the whole in good shape. No split corners, no stains or writing. I would grade it a 6-7 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.
