I was going through some of my old board games and posted a few of them on facebook marketplace. The ones I listed were as followed for $10 each. Didn't think I would get a response from anyone but this one dude from Connecticut was very interested in one of them.

- Trivial Pursuit Young Players edition (1984)

- Risk (1959)

- Pro Football 3M (1966)

- Sports Illustrated Baseball game (1971)

The guy was very interested in the SI baseball game and he said I can't let you sell it for $10. I did see it vary in price on ebay going as high as $500 though. He offered me $150 for it. I honestly was shocked and didn't think he would pay me, but he did. He was very excited to play it. He might try and resell it if that's what the going price is but it's alright. Made someone happy at least.

I wasn't enough of a baseball geek to play it but I remember reading that it was an amazing game. I can't imagine the time it would take to play it.

This was my dad's. I never understood this game, plus it was from 1971 (couple years before i was born). I did have another baseball game from the late 70's which was pretty cool i thought. Forget the name of it though.

Strat-O-Matic?

That's another one people have gone nuts over.

Very nice of the guy to buy the SI game for that much. I don't think many people would be that honest about it. 

actually that's the one I was thinking of....the SI game looks very similar though

I can't remember if it was Start-o-matic or not. I don't know if I still have it. I do remember that you had players statistics. I usually played the Phillies vs the Reds cause they were the best teams at the time. Each player had their own stat card. I think you had to roll the dice and match what it came up with to that players card.

That is Strat-O-Matic. Or if its not, somebody ripped off that game idea.

Doing some research it was either Strat-O-Matic or a game called APBA (and I Have a feeling it was the latter)

Cluedo is one of my favourites. Bought it recently as I’d never actually owned it, I use to play friends or relatives. Always a good one with a group of people. Scattergories is also one of my favourites. Makes you think but plenty of fun along the way! 

so looks like Cluedo is pretty much Clue but in Australia and the UK
