Game Shows at the Library of Congress

[SuperMatch93]

We've had similar threads about The Paley Center before, but I don't recall us discussing this:

I plan on being in Washington, D.C. the last week of March, and I want to spend an afternoon at the Library of Congress. Has anyone gone there to view their A/V collection for any rare episodes of game shows? For instance, they have audio of four episodes of Sale of the Century from 1969-70, and I plan on putting in a request to have access to those.

Anyone have any other recommendations for things to keep an eye out for?

The LOC has some episodes of the 60s Match Game that have never circulated but whether they've been transferred or not is an open question:

8/20/63   LC   Faye Emerson, Henry Morgan

That one's actually already circulating, been posted in a couple places.
