Some overbids from Card Game including the painful one from 1997 that I posted, if you know any more Card Game Overbids from The Barker Era on RU-vid, let me know and I'll make another Montage.
I like when the game uses the MRRP (bass) buzzer as opposed to the BZZZ (tenor) buzzer for an overbid. There was one episode from 1993 where a contestant jumped up and down thinking he won when he went over. He bid $8,400 and the actual price was $8,283.
EDIT: It was a Plymouth Colt, and the showcase bid wasn't as close as I remember. The clip is here, while supplies last: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-uNFzYOyxujI.html I remember that exact show! Bob kept trying to tell him, NO NO NO! You went over! Then the moment of realization hit and the entire audience wilted, along with the contestant's face. I think the car model started with S, either a Shadow, Sundance or Sunbird? If I remember correctly, the same contestant ALSO overbid on his showcase by less than $200. Rough day.
Ouch, that was painful indeed. There was another moment from late 1987 (after Barker's hair turned grey/white) when a contestant missed it by $17 (bid $8,000, ARP $7,983) and that was the only game that ruined the perfect show, sure enough the MRRP (bass) buzzer went off on that playing. She did redeem herself by winning the showcase.
On Pluto TV, I came across one episode where they had the new rules (where aces were wild and can be used immediately or not) and someone bid 6700 and the price was 6691. Also, I believe it was the first episode with this format.
And that's to its benefit in my opinion; if I were there with Drew as it is now, I could swallow it better with the foghorn than I ever could with the shock buzzer.
I'd seriously like to know what the last card those early years contestants drew especially as they had to come within a RAZOR THIN margin of 200 or 500 cuz it can definitely be for sure that they knew they needed another card to get within, but drew one that put em over which is why Card Game's early days of having to come within very low spreads like 500 felt somewhat unfair (granted that it had to do with lower priced cars) as you're drawing cards that have 10 values (worth 1000).
I call Card Game the Kobayashi Maru of TPIR. The closest thing they have to a "no-win scenario" There's almost no way to win and a million ways to lose
Not sure why but I think it depends on the sound people that decide which losing sound to use. That wasn't the case back in the early 1990s at least when the MRRP sound was used for overbids.
Every single contestant on The Price is Right has gone under and over on the Card Game! And if they play the card game the right way and they will have to continue to draw cards before they have to stop drawing them and then they stop bidding and then they stop playing cards to win the game without going under and also without going over!
