RARE DVD SET - MAN AND THE CHALLENGE (1959-1960) w/case (NOT FROM TV RERUNS)

Description: PLEASE READ IF YOU ARE EXPECTING TODAY'S TV QUALITY - OR 'OFF THE RETAIL STORE SHELF' VIDEO QUALITY - DO NOT PURCHASE THIS DVD COLLECTION! These episodes are rare and very hard to find. They were obtained over the last 45+ years by trading with fellow collectors worldwide. I am telling you now, they are NOT today's TV quality and you should not expect that. If you purchase from the heading alone, make your own assumptions and they are not what you expected, HOW IS THAT MY FAULT? PLEASE READ THE BOLD RED TEXT AT THE BOTTOM OF THE LISTING. IF YOU DO NOT UNDERSTAND, PLEASE DO NOT PURCHASE! Thank You! MAN AND THE CHALLENGE Syndicated (30 min.) September 24, 1959 Last Aired: June 16, 1960 The Man and the Challenge was a half-hour television adventure/science fiction series that starred George Nader as Dr. Glenn Barton. Barton was a research scientist for the Institute of Human Factors, an agency that conducted experiments designed to measure human endurance for the United States government. Nader's costars included Jack Ging as Dan Wright, Michael Masters as Bill Locke, the Canadian-born Joyce Meadows as Lynn Allen, and Michael Keith as Matt Adams. The episodes focused on various individuals setting world records of strength, endurance, and mastery of various difficult skills. Only two episodes are apparently all that remain available for this series and are offered in this collection. This listing is for these two episodes only: EPISODES: Episode Title Original Air Date 1 Windowless Room 01/30/1960 2 The Dropper 04/23/1960 ==================== PLEASE READ BEFORE PURCHASING: This is NOT a retail set or a copy of a retail set as no retail release exists for this show. This is a custom made DVD collection made from episodes acquired in the collector arena. These episodes are rare, extremely hard-to-find and possibly all that still exist. In many cases, these episodes were transferred from a master source many years ago (master source to Beta or VHS to DVD as each media became available). READ MY FEEDBACK - many people have already acquired and have enjoyed these sets for what they are... a piece of TV history not available in stores. If you are unfamiliar with video collecting and do not know what a 'collector set' means... It DOES NOT mean every episode is pristine and without flaws. It DOES NOT mean all episodes are today's TV quality. It DOES NOT mean all episodes will look great on your Samsung 65" 4G Big Screen HDTV. Too many people believe every episode of every show is available in today's TV quality. Unfortunately, that is not the case and you SHOULD NOT be expecting that. Please DO NOT buy any collector DVD set if you are expecting the same quality as though you are watching TVLand reruns on your Big Screen HDTV. BEWARE OF THOSE WHO CLAIM "NEW" QUALITY ON A COLLECTOR SET.... Ask if it is 'factory new' if you are unsure. If you are not sure what to expect from this set, DO NOT ASSUME! Please email me BEFORE purchasing. I am an honest collector. I have over 40+ years of collecting experience and a collection of over 500,000 video items (I lost count). I know what is available to collectors and what is not. Unlike some, I will not tell you what you want to hear just to make a sale. I am not like that. If you are expecting today's TV quality, I will tell you not to buy any collector DVD set. If you want to watch this set for what it is, "a piece of lost TV history" then by all means do so. I cannot be more honest in my explanation. DO NOT expect better quality than I am stating is being offered ==================== This DVD comes in a hardshell plastic case with series description and artwork. All episodes originally were recorded from original film prints, NOT recorded off broadcast TV. This is a custom made DVD as this show is NOT available commercially. All DVDs come with menus with episode titles for easy episode access All episodes are in the PUBLIC DOMAIN and were custom recorded to DVD for the best quality. this is not a retail set or a copy of a retail set as NO retail release of these episodes is available. ==================== SHIPPING Due to the ever increasing USPS Shipping charges, to keep it economical this item can be shipped several ways (you choose) but be aware of the ESTIMATED DELIVERY TIMES (knowing the USPS each can take longer that stated) MEDIA MAIL (4-14 Business Days delivery) FIRST CLASS MAIL (2-7 Business days) PRIORITY MAIL (2-5 Business Days) BE AWARE OF THE DELIVERY TIMES BEFORE PURCHASING - DO NOT EXPECT DELIVERY SOONER THAN THE MAXIMUM DELIVERY TIME OF THE SERVICE YOU SELECTED Also the USPS does not accept request to trace until after 30 days have passed so please do not ask.
