Ebay: Oversized Print of TV Guide Game Show Hosts Cover

[Matt Ottinger]

Many of you are also TV Guide fans, so you're very familiar with the 1984 cover featuring a half dozen hosts.  Here's a chance to own a print of that cover.  These poster-sized TV Guide covers don't turn up all that often, and this one is priced to sell.

How nice of them to let Bill be the one who gets to sit.

"You have young looking Bob Barker and Bill Cullen and I forget the rest."

Matt, is this true?  Because it'll affect how much I bid on you.

When you get to be my age, you'll be curved slightly too.

This is the infamous cover that Richard Dawson declined to be a part of, and the article in TV Guide didn't speak too kindly of him. Richard would address this on Family Feud... while he didn't really say WHY he declined to be interviewed, he simply said he didn't want to be part of it, and thought the negative things said about him were an attack on his refusal to be part of the article. It's already been said that apparently he wanted to be on the cover alone and TV Guide wouldn't do that.

1) The photo manipulation that was used to add the background really isn't very well done... or was that standard looking in 1984?

2) Is $8.85 for shipping for real? Jeez.
