+KylJoy Posted October 21, 2016 Share Posted October 21, 2016 Well, I just couldn't stand it any longer. I printed reproduction manuals to go with my reproduction boxes: Learning Fun I: Learning Fun II: Spiker - Super Pro Volleyball: Yeah, printed on letter size paper, trimmed with a paper cutter and then taped, but what the hell. I feel better now that my reproduction boxes have reproduction manuals in them. KylJoy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+fdr4prez Posted October 21, 2016 Share Posted October 21, 2016 Now you just need some reproduction overlays and reproduction carts to complete out the whole ensemble 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Utopia Posted October 21, 2016 Share Posted October 21, 2016 And seriously, you would not buy the real thing with anything else but "reproduction" money unless you were crazy or rich. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hey, great idea! Now you just need some reproduction overlays and reproduction carts to complete out the whole ensemble Ha! I do have the Learning Fun I & II carts. No Spiker cart yet. These are my last three CIBs that I need. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+fdr4prez Posted October 21, 2016 Share Posted October 21, 2016 There ya go. Grab a non-working cart and a P-touch labeler and make yourself a repro cart for those boxes. If you are scared of getting caught with a nonworking cart, buy yourself a bunch of LTO Flash (one per box) and put only that particular rom on it 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Otherwise you could make a fairly convincing fake. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+JasonlikesINTV Posted October 21, 2016 Share Posted October 21, 2016 Hey, great idea! Ha! I do have the Learning Fun I & II carts. No Spiker cart yet. These are my last three CIBs that I need. I'm in the exact same boat I have loose LF carts with repro boxes/manuals and orphan overlays. I have repro Spiker box/manual, but no cart. Those are the last I need for 125 CIB, but I'm in no hurry to spend big $ on them. The repros will suffice for now. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Lathe26 Posted October 21, 2016 Share Posted October 21, 2016 Do the manuals say "reproduction" on them? I might have missed it. The nice paper is probably a give away but it would sad if some unsuspecting new collector paid big $ for what they thought was the real thing.

Mine don't say 'reproduction' (they were made by someone else), but I have a note in there to remind myself when I get senile Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are obvious repros to us, but if I get beer-trucked who knows what the next person will think about them. I think I'll add "reproduction" to them.
