Trading of episodes in which money is exchanged to cover the costs of videotape and mailing has been upheld by the courts and Video magazine has, for several years, offered a tape-trading section for collectors to advertise desired episodes to swap. Finally, never cash a trader's check which has arrived in your hands until you have delivered the goods and are sure it has arrived in their hands. Ask for e-mail or snail mail conversation that your tape has been received by the other party. With the advent of the World Wide Web and Game Show Network, a host of people are searching for episodes in which they or perhaps their parents or grandparents appeared on shows of the past. Even celebrities and their children or close friends have sought some of these long-thought forgotten shows.
Nothing is any more exciting than bringing together people with their past.
The host's granddaughter had never seen her grandfather perform. Those are priceless matchups. Those shows are the property of Pearson TV or GSN's other suppliers. Pearson or the other distributors will not make copies either, no matter what you offer. However, be patient.
