GSN Promotional Dominoes in a cheap looking Dollar Tree case.
Some kind of "gag" card published parodying The $64,000 Question.
Hardest to find 3rd edition Match Game board game from the 70s run.
Something popular around these forums...a ticket from Press Your Luck.
A edition of Baltimore's T-VUE TIME magazine...from 1959. Bill Cullen is the cover subject.
A poster from the 1977 film Game Show Models
Does anyone here remember what The American Memory Test was? Alex Trebek hosted this 1991 special.
Anything for Money press photo...this was a unsold pilot, I assume? Fred Travelena host...
Just how long did they use these postcards on Price? This one is dated 1984...but it still calls the show "new and exiciting". Click here.
And finally, that lovely set of Cutco Knives, given to losers on TPiR for only $550.

The picture might be from a pilot, but the show itself definitely made air.

Don't know if that's from the pilot or not, but that pic was used in the first EOTVGS.

I think it's funny that the eBay ad lists the show as being "popular"...which explains why it ran for only one season. ;-)

Mark, thanks for posting this splendiforous cornucopia of game show goodies on this glorious Easter day!


For those in the know (Matt Ottinger to the blue courtesy phone, please), this is the only Match Game home game which used comical questions, correct?


It reran for a short period on USA as well. Regardless, it was a snoozefest, a popular snoozefest to one person.

Here are a few items which caught my eye:
A You Don't Say! pitcher.
A Video Village home game in pretty good condition for being 45 years old. Only $1.99 to start.

The set of the series looked exactly like that, except that later in the season, they added contestant nameplates to the podia.

Some nice ones I noticed:

An early Split Second promo photo (the carpet in my folks' basement looks very similar to what's in the background of this one)

Graham Kennedy's Blankety Blanks (Australian Match Game) board game

An ITV UK special: the old Double Your Money board game

Some Bert Convy clippings

I think this is from the pilot, unless they did a set change early on -- I've seen other photos from that session, and the actual set looks nothing like this.

That YDS pitcher is certainly interesting -- never seen that before.

The person that has the Cullen TV Guide (Baltimore Newspaper) also has cover articles from other issues of Garry Moore and Bud Collyer.

Yep.

I saw one other on Ebay a long time ago. We may have discussed it back on Usenet, I can't remember. I doubt it was commercially released. More likely it was a giveaway to celebs, contestants or even crew. I have a similar, though larger Bill Cullen mug fron his TPIR days. Speaking of which...

Which I will be happy to copy for anybody who wants them, just lay off it for another hour, willya?

I thank you all. I especially thank Modor, since when I saw "vintage Bill Cullen TV Guide" as a listing, I mistakenly assumed the seller was referring to an actual TV Guide and not a local listings magazine.

The "SS" photo is from the pilot--that looks nothing like the series set.

From at least SS on, did Kennedy just take his glasses off for promo pics, but wear them in the show? That seems to be the case in every promo and show that he's done...
