Dryfter Posted October 16, 2012 Share Posted October 16, 2012 Hey guys, Which would you think is worth more: a Series 1 set of Orphan Overlays (only 50 made) - with confirmation from Roger a loose Spiker with manual discuss! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
voltron Posted October 16, 2012 Share Posted October 16, 2012 worth in what sense? In general I think spiker loose would be worth more. Since collectors want the original stuff. For me series one now is worth more since I have a spiker. But if your asking which would draw more money, I would say the spiker would.

nukeshed Posted October 16, 2012 Share Posted October 16, 2012 The question is 'Is Rarity equivalent to worth', I think. I think Alan Cross summed it up best on a radio show about Record Collecting (that I must paraphrase because the transcripts are AWOL on his site) "You may have a one of a kind, 7 inch single, pressed on blue vinyl in Uruguay, that only survived because a worker smuggled it out before the pressing facility was shelled in a military coup... but if no one wants it, its worthless." That being said, given the collectors here, Series 1 Orphan Overlays may be *worth* more, but in the whole stream of video game collecting, they may not be worth as much as a loose Spiker. As another point of conjecture, cmart said this in another thread of yours: Wow! Never saw this one either. Weird. That's too much for a Spiker with manual I'd say. Like you said, you should be able to get a Spiker for $300-400 in a normal auction. And I have never seen Series 1 sell for that low a price. Mind you, I haven't looked into it in quite some time, so ymmv. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dryfter Posted October 16, 2012 Author Share Posted October 16, 2012 I guess "Worth" was the wrong word to use. I know they're both rare, I know they're both "expensive". I don't know what I'm asking. haha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
voltron Posted October 16, 2012 Share Posted October 16, 2012 yeah it depends. I would say spiker carries more value for most people. My example are the orphan overlay auctions. Bob is selling his for 500, and its been there for a long time. and the other guy was selling his for 600. No one really pulled the trigger. a spiker come along and everyone is bidding and the sellers know it has value so they set the auction to private listing in order to hide secret id as well. So in general I guess the spiker carries more worth just bc of the demand. Orphan has a smaller market basically the more hardcore collector who wants everything intellivision like ads, kiosk, pencils, t shirts etc...

scalpel Posted October 16, 2012 Share Posted October 16, 2012 (edited) I wasnt around during the psycho storm trooper era, but it would be nice to see him return to the INTV scence I agree, It could be really great. I will try to interview him again (first one was in March 2004 : http://mapage.noos.f...ldcollITVPS.htm) Edited October 16, 2012 by scalpel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+JasonlikesINTV Posted October 16, 2012 Share Posted October 16, 2012 I would rather have a set of Orphan Overlays for a few reasons: 1). I really love overlays!!!!!!!! 2). Spiker is probably easier to find, especially loose. I'm planning on eventually finding a loose copy, but I'm patient. I think I'd rather pick up some of the other games I'm missing first. Melody Blaster and Fathom are high on my list. 3). Still love those overlays Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maximebeauvais Posted October 17, 2012 Share Posted October 17, 2012 in my case, I will say go with a CIB game. I don't buy loose game. i have the orphan game but not sure which one....probably 1 or 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+cmart604 Posted October 17, 2012 Share Posted October 17, 2012 Tough question. I guess what Dryfter is really asking is "What would go for a higher amount at auction if they both started at $0.01? hmmm, As I've said before, I think a loose Spiker with manual should be between $300-400, although if $500 happened it wouldn't stun me. As for the Series 1 in the small bag, you rarely ever see those available, rather you see the boxed Series 2 and 3 more commonly. To that end I could easily see $500 for that. It would be interesting to see that question play out with coinciding auctions. I'd buy popcorn for that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
