Only a few of the teams were affected, but all the teams are accounted for and playable. It did have a large water stain on the main box cover, and some of the water did seep into the other cardboard box within the game box. I stumbled upon this game at an estate sale. The contents of the game include the 4 base situation boards, the Hit&Run booklet with the tape material binding, 2 of the old cardboard dice shakers, with the smaller dice, 2 of them still wrapped in the plastic they came in 52 years ago, the old baseball diamond with the path between home and the pitchers mound, a plain cardboard box holding the 20 teams, with long envelopes, the 1962 lineup sheet, and a form for ordering 24 different Great Teams of the past from APBA Game Co. (Note, click on any of these photos, above and below for a better view) The game box is the one featuring artwork depicting a baseball player swinging a bat (not the box displaying the great Henry Aaron swinging a bat at Connie Mack Stadium). And while this game is not in pristine, mint condition, it has withstood the trials of existing for 52 years because the owner never decided to toss it in the trash. Probably my favorite APBA Baseball item in my APBA collection is a vintage game from 1963, which included the 1962 MLB season.
