Sometimes an additional prize is presented when the door set piece is slid away, typically a car.

Week 41 (96): July 1-5
- Thursday show features the debut of Card Game.
- Early in Card Game's existence, the game table is placed at the right center of the stage, facing the audience. The contestant would stand at the left side of the table.
- The game is played with a deck of 51 cards, with dollar values from $200 to $1,000 in $50 increments. Each value appears three times in the deck.
- The contestant's range is determined by drawing the first card, which is also served as the opening bid.
Week 42 (97): July 8-12

Week 47 (102): August 12-16
- Wednesday show features the debut of Race Game.
- The debut of Race Game is likely also the first appearance of the Race Game Curtain. The curtain's original appearance is a pattern of curves in white, green, and light blue.
- By Thursday, the ticket plug and consolation prize plug have replaced the remix of the theme's bridge with a cue referred to officially as, appropriately enough, "Ticket Plug." This cue continues to be used in the ticket plug until said plug is moved to the end of the first Showcase Showdown in the late '80s and in the consolation prize plugs through the end of Season 35.
- Thursday's show features the first Double Showcase Winner ever (Vicki Ranglover) with a difference of $68. Following the win, the whooping klaxon alarm sounds but the Contestants' Row "perfect bid" ringing bell isn't heard paired with it. The "perfect bid" bonus for IUFBs hadn't been implemented yet, so it's likely the bell effect wasn't available at this time.
- Friday show is rerun during Season 26 on February 24, 1998, following that year's Pillsbury Bake-Off.
Week 48 (103): August 19-23
