Let me know if you are interested, and where in PA are you located? I am in central PA.

EDIT: I found a complete set of cards for the 2003 season, may have more, I can dig further if you are interested..

Tim and Mike, thanks so much for the input!
Tim,
That sounds great, I really appreciate the offer, and will take them.
I have lived in central PA my whole life, and currently live in DuBois.

Sounds good, PM me your address, and I will figure out how to send this to you on Tuesday.

vintage 1960's-1970's era "Electric Football" games...there's something oddly cool about 'directing' the players using that crappy plastic little wheel-thingy to make the player pieces "do" what you want them to, and that sh!tty little pencil-point sized foam 'football' that would get vacuumed up whenever it was booted from the playing surface onto the carpet (never - EVER - to be seen again) has an unmistakable charm of its own, as does the cardboard stadium backdrop that had to be assembled/propped up to make the setting somewhat "realistic"

p.s. - I'm an unapologetic 50-something, and those were the freakin' days!

I'm a huge supporter of Strat-O-Matic. It can be as basic or as detailed as you want it to be.

The only problem for Football is that the retro seasons released through the game company only include 6 select teams for the board game. The computer game has them all.
