A good number of people here collect items related to game shows, whether it is videos, home games, publicity items, props, or other goods.  What do you consider the best or favorite item in your collection?  It doesn't have to be the rarest or most valuable item you own.  For those who have been on shows, don't answer the prizes you won.

Mine is a 35mm slide of NBC's art card of Hit Man.  I have picked up some art cards over the years, but having a (maybe the only?) slide of an art card from a 13-week wonder is truly unique.

When I met Ray Combs back in 1991, he personally signed an 8 X 10 glossy for me.

Even though it has no real value, I'm fond of my never-played* "Uncle Jim's Question Bee" home game, partially because it's the only collectible I own that has a chance to turn 100 years old while I'm still lucid.

*- game cards and tokens are still in their orig. packaging and clearly have never been taken out, but the box has seen some significant damage.

I also have the pencil I did my Wheel of Fortune audition with.

A duffel bag from M. G.'s Crosswords...my programming director knows I'm a game show fan, and she got it from the producers, even though we never aired the show. She gave me that and a T-shirt with the show's logo. The former comes in handy on trips.
