I’m hoping with this news it won’t be long until more consecutive episodes from those years are available!

 we’ve already been fortunate with those 1982 dates you shared and recently those 1984 dates! Maybe more people are starting to hand over their copies?? Lollol

Someone contacted me recently and claimed to have 20 "very rare, never circulated among fans before" soap episodes from the early 1970s. He says he will sell them as a set for $1000.00 total.

 

While the 1970s remain my favorite era of daytime TV, I am sceptical. What is the asking price these days, for uncirculated vintage material? I know that when Jacquie Courtney's Emmy reel was auctioned off on eBay several years ago, the bidding went beyond $300.00 for 60 minutes of material. Is $1000.00 for ten hours' worth of episodes reasonable?

 

I mean, yikes!

Many years ago, I used to trade rare videos with other collectors, but finally stopped when I got sick and tired of getting ripped off.

 

I understand that sometimes you need to keep ultra-rare material to yourself in hopes of using it to barter with someone else who also has ultra-rare material in his collection. And I can even understand charging someone for the costs of blank DVDs and shipping if he wants you to ship him discs through the mail.  You don't want to LOSE money from your own pocket in order to gift total strangers with soap opera episodes from days gone by. But $1000.00 seems way too high a price to ask for 20 episodes.

 

I'm curious to know what folks think they would comfortably pay for the soap episodes they want to acquire.

THE YOUNG & THE RESTLESS: Week of April 14 - April 18, 1980

(1:00pm - 60 minutes - CBS)
Leslie told Jonas that she needs and loves him.  Jill freely confessed her lies to Stu and Liz, who agreed to marry.  Victor took a liking to Lorie while also paying attention to Casey.  Brock and Julia shared an “accidental” kiss.  Lucas agreed to help Sebastian.  Nikki regained consciousness, but had memory lapses.  Vince got Nikki’s letter to Greg before Greg could find it.  Victor raged when Julia refused a trip to Europe.  Patty softened her attitude about Mary’s pregnancy.  Kay’s corporate top-dog, Packard, reluctantly taught Derek the company ropes.  Jonas admitted to Leslie that his wife and child died in a fire while he was being a revolutionary hero with Sebastian in Santo Leandro.

THE YOUNG & THE RESTLESS: Week of June 16 - June 20, 1980

(1:00pm - 60 minutes - CBS)
Nikki sold flowers for Matthew and Rebecca’s New World group.  Peggy set out to “save” Steve from Jill.  Paul thought Tim Walsh was interested only in Patty’s body.  Paul’s folks told him to get a job or get out.  April apologized to her parents for her illegitimate baby.  Lorie feared losing Brooks if Leslie regains her memory and returns.  Julia returned to Victor and said she’s not afraid to be his woman.  Julia thanked Brock for remedying her emotional hangups.  Kay was impressed that Derek took corporate command.

    • Oh Hope..I remember Ben, and well, he has been the pass around boy for 15 months..THAT might be why he is not into you that much.
    • Sonny, a week or two after having open heart surgery, walking around with his shirt unbuttoned to a V neck,  showing no signs of stitches or even a scar..
    • Not hugely surprising, but still another awful blow for GH and soap history in general. Denise was a pioneer on several shows. Others have said everything far more eloquently than me, so I'm just echoing them here. I do wish more of her DAYS work was available - I always wanted to see them honor her again - but I am glad so much of her GH run is.
    • RIP Denise!!

        I’m sadly not as familiar with her work as most on here are, but I always hate seeing another icon leave us! 
    • I'm thinking he's much older than the age he's playing and botoxed the hell out if his face - that's why it doesn't move. Source: I saw him in a 2012 episode of CSI. Not only was he already in his 20s, but his face moved back then.
    • I didn’t even think of that OMG Tomas not even pretty enough to make taking his “acting” palpable. And his two potential love interests are played by these genuinely charismatic actresses

      . I think Martin’s flying off the handle so much is intentional and plays into the secret. The family seems to know theres some rage issues there.
    • I see a pattern here.

    • I liked when Felicia was over the top and was more Felicia the writer than Felicia the mother figure. Personal taste as always. For me, Felicia was AW to me. She was one of the few constants on a show that was constantly changing.  RIP Denise Alexander. I always liked her on the show despite her storyline never reaching its full potential. The sad thing is I would watch that storyline in a second over so much of what happened on AW from 1986 onwards. Strangely, youtube recommended a AW episode to me last night that involved Mary comforting Scott about Dawn. I really do wish they had found a way to make those two characters work long term.

    • Yes, I like him too. He is a good actor, and I agree with your comments about his personality. I also want to add, I think that he comes across as realistic and IMO sane. Yeah, he's done some bad things, but he seems pretty in control for the most part and not the least bit crazy. I appreciate that type of behavior in someone who can behave like a villain. And I continue to buy that he really does love his daughters. Unlike Leslie who seems to only use and mistreat Eva, I have seen Bill soften when it comes to his daughters. And I do believe he would do what he felt he had to do to protect them. His love for his children, helps make him more layered as a character. I really enjoyed his scenes with Dani today. I enjoyed the show today. I thought that the scenes with Nicole being comforted by both her parents including them switching out to comfort her were sweet and cute. I particularly enjoyed her scenes with Vernon. I love her relationship with her parents. I also liked Tomas/Eva scenes. He genuinely seems to care about her, and I am interested in seeing how things will play out between them and him and Kat.
