The Price is Right: March 28, 1978 (Double Showcase Win of $5 OFF)

[@thejoshman3843]

OMG a camaro, star wars action figures, & a brick of gold. All those things held their value quite nicely over the years, unlike most prizes.

[@turboredcart]

You are correct. I noticed that too

[@thomastrain7311]

Yep, dream prizes even if you have a time machine

[@bobbyadkins6983]

Hard to believe that the other car cost about the same as the Camaro.

Wow just the Star Wars set and action figures are probably worth more money in 2022 than she won all together back in 1978.

[@Thebestaustin-d8f]

This has to be about as good a day as anyone ever had on this show! A car, $1000, and both showcases! Amazing! (Also amazing was that a trip to the USSR was one of the prizes! lol)

[@rickmontgomery3037]

I thought the same thing about the USSR trip lol....plus, not that it means much, but she also won the book case which got her up on stage to begin with. So I totally agree, she has to be one of the biggest winners they had, at least up to that point, wow...

I bet them Star Wars dolls would be worth some money nowadays if she still has them.

[@doddsino]

That's gotta be the best player ever, right? Won a car by rolling almost perfect dice, got $1,000 on the wheel and won both showcases with one of the best bids ever. I think the only thing that would have made it better is if she got a perfect bid in contestant's row.

In March 1978, I was six years old, and I had a suit I wore on Sundays to church. It had the matching vest. To me, that was part of a suit, as I never knew any different. I like the vest. I wish it was still in style. If you get hot and take off your jacket, you still look sharp with smooth threads on top matching your slacks. As I recall the vest went out of style in the first half of the 1980s.

[@ccbsnyc]

The gold alone is now worth more than the entire showcase.

Those cars were absolutely beautiful!! Problem was… 1978… 1 of the foul years for automobiles thanks to the Carter administration, but thankfully those cars hold their value just from their bodies alone, and while original engines in older cars are always a +, the one exception would be cars from this era!

Also, it is not wrong to react in different ways to a thing, so as long as it does not involve a life or death situation for yourself, and/or other people in their lives.

[@paxhumana2015]

@@SLAPJACKS83 , what if some people DO act naturally excited and some of them are just in shock in what happened and that they are not able to properly process what just happened in their lives? I know that, as a person with autistic spectrum disorder, your response, as well as the idiots that gave your idiotic assessment an up vote, also is not a genuine reaction, plus it is insulting to people that genuinely react to a major winning moment in their lives with what you dare refer to as "criminally insane" in their lives.
