Big Bucks Baseball 1987 Walsh Games - complete/EX
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=3119020565
Minimum Bid: $9.99
Brief description: Another baseball game from the Sackson collection
(stamped under lid). Players compete at building their baseball team,
attempting to sign players to fill key spots in their lineup. A fixed
number of skill points is necessary at each position in order to
advance a team to the playoffs, where it earns bonus money. Winning
the World Series subgame gives even greater rewards. However, the
object of the game is *not* to win the World Series, but to finish
with the most money. It is possible for a player who builds a team
that fails to make the playoffs to still win out over the builder of
a World Series champion. A very unusual game!

in 1987.

freight), I have a few games currently up on eBay. Some are familiar titles;
others are fairly obscure. Many of these cross over into the area of product
advertising. All of these will end at approximately 5pm PDT on Saturday, 5/22.
18 Wheel'n board game 1980s ? Roof Enterprises
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=3193609588
Minimum Bid: $9.99
Brief description: A promotional game apparently commissioned by a Maryland
trucking company (George Transfer, Inc.) to increase awareness of its presence
in the industry. 2-4 players. Complete & excellent. No copyright date; my
guess is that it was made in the 1980s, but it could have been printed in the
1990s.
--
Cargoes 1930s ? Selchow & Righter S&R COMPLETE
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=3193609596
Minimum Bid: $9.99
Brief description: S&R's classic game of sailing around the world to pick up
and deliver cargo and consignments. 2-4 players. Complete and VG-EX. A bit
unusual in that it comes in a plain green box rather than the usual blue
"sailing ship" box. No copyright date on this version, but based on the box
style I suspect it dates from the late 1930s.

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=3193609598
Minimum Bid: $9.99
Brief description: Has the look and feel of a Chevrolet advertising piece, as
the object is to work one's way through a progression of Chevy cars in order
to buy a Corvette. 2-6 players. One semi-generic player disk is missing; all
other parts present. Would rate as EX were it not for the missing piece.
--
KLM Cargo Game 1985 UNUSED - first installment only
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=3193609600
Minimum Bid: $6.00
Brief description: This is the first installment of a four-installment
promotional game. (Apparently KLM was better about mailing out the first
installment than the followup material!) Intended for 2-6 players.
Unfortunately, the game is unplayable precisely because it is only has the
components for the first of the four installments, but it may have value to
advertising collectors.
--

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=3193609605

dealing with rush hour traffic, from an obscure game maker. The board is
divided into six areas that each feature their unique set of requirements to
navigate: the Neighborhood Jaunt, the Interstate 500, the Suburban Gauntlet,
the Beltway-Expressway, the Car Pool Express Lane, and the dreaded Inner-City
Maze. Complete and VG; would rate higher were it not for the spots on the
board and rules.

Test Drive board game 1989 Anthony Taylor UNUSED
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=3193609611
Minimum Bid: $9.99
Brief description: Another game by an obscure maker, and a bit of a
curiousity. The game teaches some of the tricks of negotiating when buying a
car. It is for 2-4 players; however, *six* car buying guides (not required for
the game, but full of real-life tips) are included. Complete and EX-NM.

Traffic Jam 1954 Harett-Gilmar COMPLETE and excellent
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=3193609618

Brief description: A nice vintage piece. 2-4 players compete at getting to
their chosen destinations via a combination of skillful traffic sign placement
and a bit of luck (die rolls). Components are in superb condition, showing
little to no sign of use. Complete. The box side flaps tend to bow out a bit,
but for the age and relative rarity of the game I'm still inclined to rate
this as EX overall.
