I'm hoping to see it go over a thousand dollars before they're through.

I'm sure there's "Gambit" and "Joker's Wild" slides out there too then..

Well, I'd hate to think what my NBC TPIR slide is worth, then... even if it doesn't feature a picture of Bill in the image.

Anyone notice a mistake in the description of the slate?

Hint: It's in sentence 3

 Is the mistake that the poster said the pricing games were modified?  TMK, there were no pricing games on the original Price is Right.

 Nonsense.    

In 1972, they introduced different pricing games in a modified format.  But the original format was itself a pricing game, and it wasn't the only one either.  They routinely played different pricing games for special prizes.  They may not have had special names for them, and they didn't even play them every show.  That's why the seller correctly referred to the 1972 version as a "modified format".

If you want to go fishing for mistakes, go to sentence two and see that there's no reference to the Cullen show moving to ABC for a while.

The slide is up to $125.  The Lloyd Thaxton film went for $129.50

Enjoy lots and lots of backstage TPIR photos and other fun stuff here. And yes, I did park in Syd Vinnedge's parking spot at CBS

$355 on the slide so far, maybe Matt will get his wish.

Well... if I think the person is who I think it is, I gave it to him a few years ago. So, that answers your question.

cmjb13, you've been there so many times, haven't you ever come back with "Price" props? And no, I didn't steal them because they are the old style with the glued-on plastic numbers. They were headed for the dumpster anyway...
