Myth or Fact? about Cmart

[voltron]

SNAFU

What does snafu stand for..... fubar stands for [email protected] up beyond all recognition

[Intymike]

As far as number one's who else has a larger collection. before a game is released, number one has been reserved. and the shipping ticket has a Vancouver address. So who else would have number ones. I dont collect numbers. but not sure who does.

 

The lowest serial # that I own is my Christmas Carol #10. So, it's definitely not me.

[voltron]

But back to the topic..... We need to confirm whether or not Cmart has the largest INTV collection.

I think I have three or four games with number two, but i wasnt aware of that until jasonlikesintv mentioned it to me.

H,mmm sound like there is a hidden code in the Intellivision titles, the secrets of the world must be in there.... That explains why Cmart has one of the largest collections on the planet....

It's even mentioned at the Blue Sky Rangers website:

I dont remember who it was, but someone mentioned that he owns about 800 variations of Intellivision games here. I guess it was a guy from Italy, but not Alex Pace, who probably also has the equal number of games like cmart.

 

You're thinking of Spadafermo51, he usually has a lot of games for sale on ebay.it

I heard he sells "fake" cib, that is he will sell a game with a tampered box. For example he sells a triple challenge with a box of a different game that he covered with a triple challenge sticker.

I'm not even sure Cmart is a real person, maybe a bot or an alias for someone else. I keep thinking I am going to get to meet him at PRGE, but something always comes up. Kinda suspicious. Maybe Rev is pulling the strings?

I got trampled at Cmart's Black Friday event last year. I think he had advertised gatefold Burgertimes for $5 apiece.

[JasonlikesINTV]

I had no idea who he was, where he was at or if he was even a real person or a store.

He's kind of a store

 

Shop smart - Shop Cmart!

[JasonlikesINTV]

I think I have the most Burgertimes....and possibly the most Mousetrap points

I taught Cmart closed.

No, Cmart is a real person, and you can get great stuff through him Via trade.

 

Just know that he likes to barter, which means get the better end of the trade if you let it happen.

 

Worked out for me, trade responsibly my friends!

But no one has ever seen him, and the fact that there is a location in Canada with 2000 cib spikers, im wondering if Cmart is the only Intellivision warehouse that has survived.

But we still need to prove the myth, of who has the largest intellivision collection.

But we still need to prove the myth, of who has the largest intellivision collection.

I'm not exactly sure how we define it though. I would say that Alex has probably the most notable collection in that he has some very unusual and one of a kind items. I've discovered over the last 15 of so years of actively collecting that there are some folks out there with pretty fantastic stuff (much of which I've purchased ).

 

What I will say is that I probably have one of the broadest collections in that I have all the hardware made for the Intellivision other than the testing unit, and have a pretty decent sized variation collection , and a very interesting paperwork and ephemera collection. I suspect I have the largest collection of boxed hardware with likely 60-70 CIB systems, with around 30-40 box variations in there.

 

I would guess that I might have the most #1's but I'm more concerned with having and supporting all homebrew products.

 

As for my want list I really need to sit down and think about that as I've knocked the big three off my list this year as I got a Playcable, a Keyboard Component, and the French Canadian Super Cobra.

 

I'm mainly focusing on adding to my language variations so yes I do still want the Italian Fathom, among others.

At the moment my collection is mostly in storage until I move into my new house in mid December, so I'll have to figure out my 2014 collecting goals over the Christmas holidays. I'm constantly pleasantly surprised by the appearance of things I didn't know existed so I'm sure there will be some items on my list that I'm not even aware of yet.

Darn - had to re-read the thread title. Thought this was about Kmart.

I dont think Alex collection is as large as yours, he has a lotmof proto and one of a kind stuff, but still a smaller collection than you. As for the french canadian super crobra you owe me on that, there was a bidding war the seller was hoping between me and you and luckily my gut told me it was probably you so I dropped out of it, otherwise one of us would have paid 2k for it. I honored our treaty we made during the japan auctions. But I still think you have e largest collection. most of them people with large collections got out of the hobby and sold it to you. hey there is a playcable variant your missing, there is your 2014 goal.

Cmart may have the largest, as in the most items and variations, I think Alex has the most prototypes and rare items, big difference.

 

But I will tell you this. I have the most mouse trap boxes!

[voltron]

my collection is small The basic 125 and some variants, I dont hoard so i given away spares.

The myth is the largest collection.... not rarest collection, so technically Intellivisiondude may have the largest collection, if we add all the LV pokers he has. who knows maybe thelargest collection belongs to Intellivisiondude.

[voltron]

What does the italian fathom look like? is it the same box just instructions are different ormthe box is different?

[+cmart604]

Yes I suspect I have one of the largest collections of intv stuff in total. There are others out there though who have ridiculous amounts too. I'm guessing not too many folks have 100+ intellivision systems though. Anyone looking for an intellivision?!?

The Italian Fathom is just with Italian instructions, everything else is the US stuff.
