Since the Alphabetics board and Star Wheel are taken, I'll go back to very early TPiR and pick a *prize* I wanted at the time but Mom and Dad said was impractical - a game board carpet that was a frequent Showcase prize. I can't find an image of the original one, but here's the contemporary version.

The Kay-Bee Toys at Lincoln Mall in Matteson had that carpet throught the store in the '80s, and that's the memory that comes flooding back every time I see that carpet on the Fame Game board or behind a door on LMAD.

I want the 70s 'Name that Tune' logo lamp for my dining room.

On that note, I'll take the "Liars Club" lamp. I'm a sucker for Tiffany anyway.
Both of these are great selections. Whenever I finally get a pool table for the man cave, that would be a great (obviously hypothetical) addition!

Here's a post you do NOT want to read too fast.

/at least he took it out every once in a while

What it was doing hanging from the rafters, I'll never know.

......whatever diamond jewelry TPIR has on the IUFB.
I'd rather have the gold bars they used to have.

In fact, once when I was at a TPiR taping, a guy who had been sitting next to me was actually in Contestant's Row when the gold bars came down, and since I had read the financial section of the newspaper that morning, he *did* go home with those gold bars.

/figuratively, of course

Wait- I grew up in Matteson! We might know each other!
