Cadaco produced it's FOTO-ELECTRIC games from the 40's through the early 70's. It was based on the earlier Varsity Football game. While Foto-Electric Football was far more popular they also relaeased a Foto-Electric Baseball game. In the late 70's Foto-Electric Football was re-released without the electric parts under the name "Foto-Football".
The game parts are in EXCELLENTNEAR MINT condition. The game is 100% complete. It includes 12 Offensive Plays, 6 Defensive Plays, a lighted playing field, a scoreboard, 4 spinners and the instructions booklet. The game looks literally unused. The only minor flaw is that the field is just slightly sunken from having the play cards on scoreboard stacked on top for all these years. Overall I would grade the game parts 8-9 on a 10 scale (see condition guide below).
The game box is in VERY GOOD condition. It has some staining on a 2 of the sides and 1 side has a small tear in the artwork. Otherwise very nice with no writing or stains on the front of the lid and no split corners. I would grade it a 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.
