The long credit crawl from The Better Sex, a Better Sex and a Blockbusters blank question card, and a piece of Allen Ludden's podium.

I keep forgetting things that I should've added before. I've got my interview card from Jeopardy! and my picture with Alex in a glass Jeopardy! frame. Also included is a large photo of all contestants from that week in a regular wooden frame where I, of course, positioned myself next to Alex. I've got no official remnants from my MDP appearance.

Wow...that's definitely a one-of-a-kind thing, right there.
When you're at the grocery game and you hear the beep, think of all the fun you could have at "Crazy Rachel's Checkout Counter!"

Betty White thought Allen was such a piece of podium.

This fascinates me. I think you've told this story before...he thought leaning over the podium was giving him the stomach pain that, in reality, was being caused by cancer?

From my appearance on Win Ben Stein's Money, I have the Q&A card from the Best of Ten round, autographed by Jimmy Kimmel.

Two items from Nick Studios, including...

- What Would You Do? - a "Floor can be slippery sign" which was posted just outside the show's studio.

- Family Double Dare - a large sign saying "Auditions Today", listing family requirements and asking to meet at the Slime Geyser.

Often attempted to get pieces of game show related people.

I also have one of the prize envelopes from the W-H-E-E-L WoF bonus round. Mine says "RIVIERA". Not sure what season it is from, I was thinking '93/'94ish.

I have my two TPIR tags from the tapings, two Canadian Idol numbers (yes, they're mine), the Wheel of Fortune puzzle I solved out at the tryouts, my wheel tag, my mom's contestant pass, two question cards from "Questions pour Un Champion", and what I think is the coolest, a set piece made out of fibreglass that has the logo to Reach for the Top with "Prince Edward Island" written on it.  How that ended up in my residence storage area at university, I've no clue.

A crew jacket from 1990 LMaD, and a few giveaways from eBay.
