Are the Catch Phrase tapes still in existence?

IE: not destroyed.

Just bought a Beta player so I could watch 3 tapes that were marked Finder's Keepers, Catch Phrase, and Concentration.

No Finders Keepers, Concentration was Classic but taped over and the Catch Phrase show had awesome quality for it's age, but it cut off half way through the show. Ran out of tape.

Damn!
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

I assume the masters are still extant. If not, there are still at least a few episodes on VHS, taped by collectors.

 There is also one-half of an episode that exists on Beta.
Let's Make a Deal was the first show to air on Buzzr. 6/1/15 8PM.

 As was so eloquently stated by the original poster.
