...It can be a sign, display, prop, etc... BUT it had to have been regularly lowered/raised/hanging from the rafters. 

I would snatch the Perry-era flashing Card Sharks sign.

And you???

Either the Scrabble logo sign (from the 1984-1990 run), or the prop they used on Sale of the Century (Perry run) for keeping track of the cash jackpot's value.

  • Still crazy after all these years.
The big $25,000 sign from Wheel.

  • Just leave the set; that’d be terrific.
I'd like the green $25,000 sign from WoF.  If my memory has failed me and that wasn't lowered, I'd take the duck from YBYL.

The futuristic TPIR price tag from the mid-80s.

I'll take the "Match Game '77" sign. The rest of you can fight over the other years. :)

I'd take the versatile and unnecessary large screen from Bruce Forsyth's Hot Streak that showed the team's winnings after the bonus round.

Put me down for a giant TPIR price tag, preferably the glittery one.

Anyone want to claim the original Alphabetics board?

Since Mitch took my first choice, I'll take the giant Whew! logo.

The "birthday cake" button used on the endgame for The Money Maze.

The original standing button to hit after running The $10,000 Dash was replaced several weeks into the show's run--I assume there was a problem with someone knocking it down in their haste to hit the button, as it was pretty light--with a much wider standing mechanism with chase lights. It looked somewhat like a multitiered birthday or wedding cake; it was referred to as that for the remainder of the show's run.

I assume it's either long destroyed or sitting in Don Lipp's basement.

Going with the neon Scrabble cube. Doesn’t matter if it rotates or not, just plug it in...
