When was this board made?

I agree with 1970. My junior year of college at Murray State University in Murray, Kentucky, my wife bought me this exact set from a "Big K" store. It had the directional wheels and also had red peg bases, but no red pegs.

I must have seen or owned every board at some point. I used to have a chronology so maybe I need to recomplile it. Take a look at your box. You will notice that the pictures on the side of the box are in the bluescale that came with the early 620 snow boards (1967, 1968, 1969). The Bluescale was used in what I call the transition years (1970, 1971-72 for clearing what was left of the boxes). If you look closely at your box when you get it you will notice a boarder placed around the picture of your gameboard. This boarder conceals where they merely placed the picture over the original snow board 620 field. This was a common pratice for the Tudor company. The boards that the other coaches are referring to (73-74) have the color pictures of the teams and came with a playbook for the TTC'S that were introduced. These games are the same with exception to the sprue containing stickers for ball markers and Chains. You will note that your set has two straight sticks instead of the more decorative art and "Fat Head" quarterbacks. There are so many ways to tell the year of a game. These are just a few.

I think I am going to recompile the information. I pretty much have it memorized. Most people know me on Ebay. My handle is "Walapalupe". I mainly deal exclusively with EF antiques. Hope this clarifies things further. Thanks Hilltopper!

I just got this board and it is sweet. It is in perfect condition, the board runs smoothly and is way quiter than my newer Super Bowl board.

I absolutely love this, and thanks to everyone for telling me how old this board was.
