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.

    • I do agree that I wish there was more gay representation in terms of singles. I also had hoped we'd get a Black couple since it was a Black soap and I don't know that we've ever seen that on a US soap.  With that said, it's still early days so I can imagine we'll get that at some point. I am impressed they launched with as much LGBT representation considering how US soaps can be.
    • Thank you. I know we're all supposed to see that BTG is progressive when it comes to queer characters, but it's telling that they won't commit to showcasing gay or bi males who are single and looking. That relationship couldn't be any more traditional. Will we ever get a bedroom scene with Smitty and Martin? I have my doubts.
    • This is a pretty huge thing IMO, but I guess we will see what happens? Can't get any worse then already. 
    • This can be difficult for a soap to depict. So far she's only shown an interest in women. Will a man come into her life? If she commits to a male, there will be  backlash, but if it's women only, them where is the bi/queer aspect? Personally, I would have liked a single gay male on the show dealing with hook ups/relationships etc. Smitty/Martin married with kids is limiting in those terms.
    • Of course, how could I have forgotten those thrilling episodes depicting the fire? Also we had the GCAC rooftop set that came out every Summer. Moving on to Friday's episode. Victor is propped in his chair, answers his cell and tells the caller 'Let him in'. Seconds later Kyle enters. So does Victor have security on the front porch? It would have been better had Victor taken the call, and then said to himself 'Well Kyle, let's see what you have to say'and fade out. Next scene Kyle enters, indicating that the first call was from the Ranch entrance and time had passed . Nit picky but I get frustrated when they do stuff like that.
    • Jordan was gone from '87 to mid-'89. He left just weeks after Robert's late '86 return.

    • I don't think Chelsea has a true label just yet. She's just finding out she has an interest in women. I think the awkwardness is aligned with the character as we've seen. This is the fool who keeps filming her family when embarrassing things happen and live streaming it. I actually think it's refreshing she isn't just jumping into a relationship  and that they're playing the beats of her trying to figure out who she is.
    • Wow, do I agree with you. Chelsea is coming off as ridiculous. All she does is look for a woman to date while not caring about her business at all. That she's bi is great, but they're not writing her like she's bi. She seems to be lesbian. Yeah, I know -- "no labels." I just don't find the writing for her story to be anything other than awkward.   -- I hope we get some diagnosis finality with Bill's trip to the hospital. I don't want to see these trips to the ER every other day. -- Naomi is going to blame herself for Bill's health problems? GMAB. -- Ashley doesn't read as a real nurse in the slightest. -- Another day, another rinse and repeat conversation with Derek and Ashley. YAWN. -- Kat is making mistakes, but she's fun to watch and listen to, regardless. -- I still think the Joey/Vanessa/Doug gambling story sucks. I know Doug is deeply in debt, but I don't like him acting this meek and submissive.  -- I'm not sure what Joey's plan was from the beginning, or why he had to seduce Vanessa at all to get his way. I'm not sure what Vanessa ever saw in Joey -- why doesn't he give her the ick? -- I'm fine with a story where Doug and Vanessa take out Joey.  -- The fades to commercials were pretty bad today.
