So what did you all get during the APBA Company’s Black Friday Sale? Tom Zuppa has a running thread on Facebook with quite a lot of responses already.
Me? I was with family over the holiday. While my wife and daughter were shopping at the brick-and-mortar stores, I simply used my phone to place an order for the only purchase I made Friday. Geoff Giordano will be happy to hear that I took the plunge and ordered the APBA Football Game.
For now, I just ordered the Football Game. It does come with four teams (2013 Denver, Seattle, Florida State and Auburn). That should be enough to give it a test ride. If I enjoy it, I expect to be placing an order for some past teams ranging from the late 60s to the mid 80s.
Time for me to re-watch Geoff’s unpackaging video of the game on YouTube again.
Did anyone else take advantage of the 25% discount on Friday??
1964 Baseball. Yankees win their last pennant with Mantle, White Sox (my team then) finish only one game out, the Phillies collapse and the Cards win in a wild pennant race. Also, 1964 was the first World Series that I remember as a kid.
Dick, the original 1964 was the first set I ever saw. I never played it but my older brother had it.
Have fun!!
Thanks, Tom. Will do! 1964 had all of my childhood heroes: Mantle, Mays, Aaron, Gibson, Killebrew, Koufax, et al.
I bought the updated APBA football game as well, as I wanted the 2013 Broncos and 2013 Seahawks were both of these franchises all time strongest teams based on Margin of Victory. I cannot see nyself spending $95 to get a modern football season for teh couple of teams that I really want. they really need to come up with a football version of the GTOP like they did years ago.
I got the 1964 & 2000 Baseball and 1950-51 Hockey sets. I wanted an early Gordie Howe season for Hockey and Halberstam’s book about 1964 is one of my favorites. The 2000 originals cards are the colored version and I wanted the more traditional cards. I expect lots of fun!
