Film was more expensive to store and preserve way back when and many sporting events and programs from the 50-70's are believed to be gone until proven otherwise by treasure hunters. Some of the missing Jems include
NBA Finals
1969: Celtics-Lakers - only the entire 4th quarter of Game 7 exists.
1970: Lakers-Knicks - Game 7 is intact.
1973: Knicks-Lakers - Games 1-4 are missing, while Game 5 only has the final 2 minutes of the game.

Half of super bowl IV is intact.
Super Bowl V The colt's 16-13 victory against the Cowboys is still missing.


The BBC wiped many early episodes of Dr.Who and the Avengers as well as TOTP including the first Beatles studio performance.
