Vintage Avalon Hill Victory In The Pacific Wwii Strategic Battles Game

I just had the pleasure (sadly) of being the first person to see the incredible game collection of a gentleman in NE PA.  He was a lifetime game player/collector. Unfortunately, he very recently passed away, leaving his wife to deal with several rooms in their house full of board games. I will be listing the games I purchased here on eBay over the next several weeks and months. He kept everything in amazing condition. Most games are complete and unplayed, some are sealed, and some have been carefully played. He went so far as to make his own pieces, cards, and/or counters, in some cases, to keep the game in pristine condition. I will do my best to describe the condition and note any issues on these rarer games.
Here is an Avalon Hill game. It is Victory in the Pacific the WWII Strategic Battles Game.  The game is complete and in excellent  condition in it's original box.  All counters are in beautiful condition kept in bank envelopes.  It is dated 1977.
