Nice to see a show with the old Dice Game board and Bob's white hair. The Dice Game board would be redesigned one year later, on 12/15/89, and it's still in use today.
Exact bids on home viewer showcases are more common than one would think. It happened often on Bill Cullen's "Price", and it happened the last time TPIR did a home viewer showcase (March 2011).
I remember watching Santa's Workshop showcase before which is where Rod Roddy dresses up as Santa Claus and Barker's Beauties pose as his elves in which I couldn't get enough of seeing those exotic dresses.
