I wonder where Monty was getting those $500 bills, as the Federal Reserve system eliminated bills denominated above $100 in 1969. I suspect they had a small supply of $500 and $1000 notes and kept them at the end of the show, paying the contestants with a check.
Wrong. He asked how much cash was on the board behind the slacks and shoes, which was $8567, not how much was the final deal worth, $8775. She would have been right if that's what he had asked though. She was just to excited to hear what he asked her was all.
@@tinamarie86 I'll give you $100 cash or what's behind the big curtain if you can tell me if it was a left shoe or a right... $200 more if you can also tell me the size and the color. Or you can go for the big box where Carol Merrill is standing!
Some of those players get too greedy for the curtain without thinking.I remember a donkey being one prize behind the curtain.Some of those curtain prizes are junk.
Michelle Post I know. But I seem to detect a pattern. It seems like every third curtain prizes a zonk. Do any contestants noticed that? I would've probably taken the money and be good with that.
Always was my favorite game show and I love the cars from the 70s❗❤
Loved watching this game show as a kid. The costumes, the deals and the mystery's behind the doors. Just a fun show!
Here's a tidbit of trivia: "America's Top Trader" Monty Hall was actually born in Canada. Also originally from Canada, Alex Trebek.
WOW!!!!!
Hall was known Monty Halpern and he was born in Winnipeg and Trebek was born near Toronto.
@@timothycarpenter9552 Alex Trebek was born in Sudbury, Ontario which is nowhere near Toronto (~250 miles north of Toronto)

If Crush soda was selling for 15 cents today I feel like I'm in a Twilight zone
i still watch reruns of lets make a deal on buzzr tv.in Vermont
That yellow sign reading 10SNE1 could have been the inspiration for Bumper Stumpers.
What does it mean?
@@zabadazidit "Tennis anyone?"
I think Lets Make a Deal is the only game show where the announcer and MC have to share the same microphone.
Jay is WAY too busy lugging around tables full of household products to also be able to carry a wired microphone around.
I love it tho...reminds me of simpler times...
The first traders were absolutely handsome and beautiful! I mean the wife had this Farrah Fawcett amazing hair! and look at that gentleman!
The Buick Apollo (later called Skylark) replaced the large Skylark for the 1973 model year. Based on the Nova.
23:30 I hope he ultimately gave that woman an extra $50 bucks or the entire $150. She was correct!

21:58 - Oops 🙊! The Mother Goose representing the children’s shoes falls off the moving display.
That pricing deal was the precursor to "The Grand Game" on "The Price is Right".
@Shawn Marengo: I noticed that too

Small sized Buick Century? That car looks huge!!!
Always got a good laugh when Jay Stewart dressed as Baby Jay.
I hated George when he told to the wife keep the money and they lost the car .but fortunately the woman made her choice again and got 8000 dollars

This is Episode 72 of the Syndicated Run- OAD: May 19, 1973
Adjusted for inflation, $8,500 in 1974 is worth about $45,000 today.
Most food and gas prices about 9x-10x more. Car about 8x more. I’d say closer to 70k-75k
My favorite part is when they have price items
