Trebek's HR Dice?

Wow, Wink's HR wasn't on NBC, in fact it taped at CBS TV City, and NBC made the dice for that run of HR? Interesting.

The dice on the Trebek run(or at least one of the Trebek runs) had a circle around the pips on each side. Wink's dice did not have that circle, and only Wink had the golden dice for the endgame as I recall. I don't recall if Las Vegas Gambit used the dice with circles when the Big Numbers was played as the endgame on that show.

Yeah, I think I remember seeing something like that at a dollar store a few years back. I remember buying it as a gift for someone, but it was green and sparkly instead of white.

The Ol' Guy:
Thanks - I'll keep an eye on that site. As to the Wink reply - it's credited to Fred Wostbrock, who Wink says is a walking encyclopedia (as we all know...). No other details were offered, but it could be possible that Wink's dice were from several made for Merrill Heatter back in the NBC High Rollers days and just used again in the Wink run, or possibly new ones ordered by the producers and made by a staffer at NBC's prop department. A guess, but the best I can offer, based on the info given me.
