Vintage, rare 1965 3M Bookshelf High-Bid The Auction Game

Vintage, rare 1965 3M Bookshelf High-Bid in excellent condition. Minor edge wear. Game is 100% complete. See photos for details. Collectors attempt to gather sets of valuable properties and artifacts.... coins, antiques, miniatures, etc. These sets are worth handsome sums at game's end. Individual pieces of a set are worthless at game's are able to be sold during the course of the game in order to provide a cash-flow. These 'properties' are represented on cards. There are 12 different types of properties, varying from 3 - 6 pieces per set. Naturally, the sets containing six pieces are much more valuable than the sets containing only three pieces as it is much more difficult to complete these larger sets. The top 'property' card is revealed, and a bidding ensues. The winner pays the bank and takes the card into his hand. The player then has the option of selling 1 - 3 properties to the bank. The idea here is to rid yourself of properties that you do not wish to collect and provide a source of income. The game continues in this fashion until the property deck expires or a player calls an end to the game. One can only do this, however, if he has a total value (property sets plus cash) in excess of $5,000. Even then, a player should only do this when he feels he has more assets than any of his opponents. As High Bid, this game was published for the 3M Bookshelf Series and 3M Gamette series. This is the larger bookshelf game. We ship fast!
