With host, BILL RAFFERTY
Marta vs. Money Cards, pt. 1 - In this episode of Card Sharks with Bill Rafferty, champion Marta returns to play the Money Cards. She only has $200 from the match, because she was crowned the new champion as time ran out, so the show gives her the fair opportunity of doing so, as well as a chance to win a brand-new Chevrolet Corvette. When the new match begins, we are introduced to Charles, a card dealer from Las Vegas, NV. In the audience are 10 married women

Mike vs. Nellie, pt. 3 - The Money Cards and car game is played for. New challenger, Johnny comes on and begins the new match. I do apologize for this. I usually stop recording during commercials, and at the time I was recording this, I stepped out and the game continued while I was out, though I got back in as quick as I could. What I can tell you, since it starts out on the second row while the card is being changed, the champion busted on level 1 (K-A).
