Sorry to put a crimp into the search for the absolute-perfect answer, but I'm now being told pretty reliably (but anonymously) that there were in fact 39 episodes of syndicated Jeopardy produced. What's more, the tapes survive, but are inaccessible to ANY collector.

Theoretically, this is something GSN should have the rights to, unless it falls under the same problem as Cullen's $25,000 Pyramid and Love Experts, that it's still owned partially by the syndicator.

Probably the tapes are in the hands of the men's clothier who furnished Fleming's tuxedos.

My understanding is that the latter is precisely the case.
This has been another installment of Matt Ottinger's Masters of the Obvious.
Stay tuned for all the obsessive-compulsive fun of Words Have Meanings.
