...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.
-
The big $25,000 sign from Wheel.
-
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'll take the MG Star Wheel.
-
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.
-
......whatever diamond jewelry TPIR has on the IUFB.
-
The Cash Jackpot sign from Sale of the Century!
-
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...
-
I'll take the MG Star Wheel.
Rayburn's or Shaffer's?

Rayburn's. I'd rather spin the wheel than a pointer. :)

I'll take the OG Alphabetics board.

Never mind that Mr. Lipp himself passed away in 2009.

I would take the clock from Super Sloppy Double Dare...the one that rotated when it was time for a physical challenge.
-
Um... the Benchmark Carpet Mills wall from The All-New Let's Make a Deal?
Ah, crap. I'm terrible at making decisions under pressure.

Good, that leaves Shafer's for me :)

Sorry, I don't have any to give you.

Gold stars on the last four posts. I see what you all did there.
-
That was pretty great--everyone is entitled to a star sticker.
/At last count Ross was getting forty bucks each time GSN ran through the entirety of Match Game '90.
-
The Caesars Challenge giant letter ball cage.
-
The logo sign from the original 1960s NBC Match Game.
-
The Caesars Challenge giant letter ball cage.
Now that's a good one. Plus the letter balls to go with it.
-
Crap! I get here late and all that's left is the Race Game curtain, the rotating jewelry platter that lowers in front of Contestants' Row, and a cheap "All-Star Super Password Special" sign.

You win this round.

Ooh, no takers for the isolation booth on England's $64,000 Question? Dibs!

I'll take the $100,000 Pay the Rent sign.
-
I'll claim the second Match Game 78 sign, since I can easily change it (https://youtu.be/Q31yo1HjhrU?t=1110) to "79" or "PM" (or neither of them). :-)
-
I can’t believe these lasted so long: The Classic Concentration and Password Plus signs.
-
Groucho’s duck.
-
The Newlywed Game sign would look lovely in my dining room. Or the Tic Tac Dough sign behind the audience if that was suspended.
-
I'll take the $100,000 Pay the Rent sign.
Good thinking. They may not play it anymore if you swipe the sign.
-

Well, of course. Who has the room for that monstrosity known as the Password Plus sign?
-
I assume PYLdude gets all the stuff that fell on the contestants' heads from the Double Whammies on Whammy. :-p
-

Here's a post you do NOT want to read too fast.
/at least he took it out every once in a while

I’d take either the cash jackpot tracker from Perry $otC or the classic neon green $25,000 sign from Wheel of Fortune. Gimme all the snazz!
The Inquisitive One

Well, if nobody else wanted it...
Where I would keep it though is another story.
(He said, knowing full well he couldn't fit the big flashy $25k wheel sign anywhere either)
-
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.

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.

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!

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!
