Rev Posted August 21, 2012 Author Share Posted August 21, 2012 This is what the current qualifications are: * Platinum Members - All 125 Officially released games BOXED. * Gold Members - All 125 Officially released games BOXED/LOOSE. * Silver Members - 124 officially released games, only missing SPIKER. BOXED/LOOSE. How do you guys this i should change/re-word it? Maybe platinum could be 125 either boxed but spiker could be either boxed or loose and the box is reissue or original(is this the only game that was released in a bag?) Maybe gold could be 125 and ANY game boxed or loose Maybe silver could be 124 (minus spiker) boxed or loose And anyone else who wishes can submit their pics to the collection section and then become a member later? Let me what you guys think. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ignorama Posted October 4, 2013 Share Posted October 4, 2013 (edited) Platinum should be Spiker boxed only. Yes there are baggy releases, but there are box releases too and so the highest rank should stay reserved for the boxed Spiker, not the baggy one. Whats about bronce rank? 124 BOXED is silver, 124 boxed or loose is bronce. Edited October 4, 2013 by Ignorama Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stc2009 Posted October 5, 2013 Share Posted October 5, 2013 But given that the baggie releases are rarer and certainly an official release they should count toward Platinum. It would be like saying that when Groovy releases his carts that it is impossible to get a complete collection CiB of homebrews. If that's how its released then its complete.

wolfy62 Posted October 5, 2013 Share Posted October 5, 2013 Does anyone have a number on how many Spikers were released with the box or with the bag? I purchased mine boxed from Telegames in the UK in 1997. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ignorama Posted October 5, 2013 Share Posted October 5, 2013 @ STC Question: If Groovy would release his games with a box and just a small number without a box but in a plastic bag, with variation would you take? Rhetorical question, because you would take the box for sure Baggy is just a workaround if you are out of boxes or broken (in case of INTV Corp both may fit). If you want you can modify all CiB Spikers to baggy releases, just use a same sized bag and its done. Try to change your baggy Spiker in a CiB one, if you have success I may change my mind to that topic Please dont forget, there is no official Intellivision bag, its just a transparent piece of plastic and its completely impossible to avoid "repro bags", which is quite a huge difference to repro boxes.

But one can usually tell the age of the materials, and the baggie versions seem to have a different label. Of course, labels can be faked, too. Now all of these things could be faked, and for the price of a Spiker, one could probably turn a profit in high quality fakes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ignorama Posted October 12, 2013 Share Posted October 12, 2013 How do you guys think about repro boxes? Does a collection which contains repro boxes qualify to be platinum? I would say definitely no, because its not really boxed. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You must feel the pain of having to acquire the real CIB versions to be part of the platinum band of idiots....errr I mean great collectors. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+swlovinist Posted June 3 Share Posted June 3 I am currently pursuing an Intellivision set of 125. I am two carts away from a loose/boxed set. I did go with an official second print of Spiker. I also have a Sears Telegames Subset as well. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigDumer Posted June 5 Share Posted June 5 Congrats on the progress, John (and see you at VRGE in a couple weeks!) I've been an unofficial Silver member for a while now. Just need that CIB Spiker! to be Platinum. Now would be a particularly good time for me if anyone out there has a Spiker! they want to sell.... Honestly though, I'm more interested in an FC Super Cobra or an Intellivision Inc. Backgammon to finish those subsets. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+swlovinist Posted June 5 Share Posted June 5 Looking for for the following boxes, manuals, and some hardware upgrades for a CIB collection that I have been working on a long time. I have the loose carts below and know how difficult these are to find. If anyone is looking to part out what they have then we can talk. Congo Bongo Body Slam Pro Wrestling Stadium Mud Buggies Defender Learning Fun II Also looking for a Sears Super Video Arcade Box upgrade and manual) Tandyvision One CIB 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Especially when it comes to the Super Cobra FC or the II Backgammon, I just need the box of both of them. And, on my side, last but not least at all, I have to add the Super Series too!!! And the Pinball Digiplay of course!!!🤪🤪 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Honestly though, I'm more interested in an FC Super Cobra or an Intellivision Inc. Backgammon to finish those subsets. I’ve been unofficial Silver for a while now as well (never submitting any official photos as of yet) needing only boxes for my Spiker and Triple Challenge to move to Platinum. I have gone down the rabbit hole a bit more with subsets though. Really only looking for a complete FC Space Spartans after managing to get the rest including the FC Super cobra and II Backgammon. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
