Vintage C100 SUBBUTEO Soccer CHELSEA Football Team Ref 42 c.1978-80 Vintage C100 SUBBUTEO Soccer CHELSEA Football Team Ref 42 c.1978-80 ... Click images to enlarge Description Ref: HBThis is a C500 Heavyweight (HW) SUBBUTEO OO Scale Chelsea Table Soccer Team Ref 42. It comprises 11 players, including goalkeeper and comes in it's original box.
This particular team comes in the smaller style box (190mm x 84mm x 30mm) which dates the team to post 1977. The box is in very good condition, with just light shelf wear, no tears or major damage and minimal discolouration, with little or no fading, so colour remain bright.
I'm not an expert on Subbuteo, so I am uncertain how to grade condition, but they appear to be in very good order with nothing broken.
All players, including the goal keeper remain firmly attached to their bases and for the most part they are mounted level in their slots. However, some players appear to be sightly out of alignment so one side stands very slightly proud of the base (see photos). There is also evidence of glue to slots, which has mixed with the paint used on their boots, but I am pretty certain that this is a manufacturing flaw from the original construction process, so it is only mentioned for the sake of complete accuracy.
Colours are consistant across all players, including their bases and there is little evidence of use or wear. The players were obviously handpainted and therefore there are minor variations, but nothing that would indicate that any have been repainted or touched in; however, please note I am a little uncertain about the goalkeeper, who's paint either ran during the manufacturing process or possibly it has been repainted??
As mentioned above, I am not an expert on Subbuteo, so photographs form a very important part of my description and bidders are advised to study them carefully and to contact me for any additional information they may need.This item will be sent by Tracked Delivery within the UK or Airmail Small Packets (International Signed For) if going overseas.CUSTOMER SERVICEWe take customer satisfaction very seriously and always strive to provde a Five Star service.
