This Week's Ebay Report
« on: October 11, 2005, 04:17:32 PM »
Early, 1939 game called "Quizzical Questions" .  Looks to be in good shape for a game that's more than 60 years old.
Basically unused copy of Tic Tac Dough from 1977; I love how the seller says "Mint"; when a girls name is written on the box.
Not bad for 99˘, The Joker's Wild, 2nd edition.  This is the one featured in the GSN CD liner notes.
One that I don't see all that often...The $128,000 Question with Michael Darrow (or was it Reilly?) on the cover...less than $3.
A press kit from the 1987 Jeopardy! teen tournament...didn't someone on the board appear in one of these?
Stumpers and 50 Grand Slam tickets...horrible scans.
Some kind of odd Jeopardy! t-shirt...who would wear this?
And finally...back when Wheel apparently cared about their heritage ...Click Here .

I looked at that and I wondered the same thing. Sure, you could probably wear it once, but wouldn't the novelty wear off before you took it off?

I think it looks nice, personally, but I can't think of too many people who'd actually want that hanging on their Christmas tree.

Actually, believe it or not, I remember seeing someone (that I didn't know) wearing that J! shirt back when I was in fourth grade or thereabouts.  At that age, I got a huge kick out of it.

That's funny.  I happen to have that particular ornament, and we do put it up every year, dammit.

I'm not sure I should admit this... but I had (have?) one.  The television edition.  Bought it late eighties/early nineties in Myrtle Beach while on vacation.

Hey, when you're twelve, these are exciting things!

Me too.  It was a gift I never wore, but never threw out either.

It saddnes me that no one wants the Professor Quiz game, one of the first board games for one of the first game shows ever.  Mine is displayed proudly.  I also never understood why the game was packaged with such a drab outside box when the inside graphics just burst with color.

I want it, believe me.  On the off chance, though, that one in better condition appears, I'd rather wait.

I also still have the Jeopardy! movies t-shirt and the Wheel of Fortune ornament.

There, I have now proven my worthiness to be a member of this forum. And why I so rarely get a date.

(While it does rotate, the wheel on the ornament doesn't "spin" like the show's.)

Someone showed me this earlier today:

http://cgi.ebay.com/16mm-Film-Whats-my-Lin...1QQcmdZViewItem

It's a 16mm film master copy of an episode of syndie What's My Line?.

Too bad I obviously don't have a projector, otherwise I'd probably buy it.

I don't get the fascination with actual film as a collectible.  Someone's going to pay thirty dollars (or more) for a segment of What's My Line? that will require some amount of effort just to watch, while hundreds of complete episodes exist and are readily available with minimal effort.  (And yes, the particular episode from which that segment comes has aired on GSN.)

I like how the guy says, "The film is in great shape and once you watch this you'll wish you could find more."  I've got plenty, thanks.

Now if it was something none of us have ever seen, like a cool unsold pilot or something, I could see getting it and having it transferred.  I've done that.  But I don't see having it just because it's somehow cool to own 16mm film.

Well, now, I see your point, you're right; I was interested because it's a studio master. I just thought it was worth mentioning because it's something you don't find everyday.

Enjoy lots and lots of backstage TPIR photos and other fun stuff here. And yes, I did park in Syd Vinnedge's parking spot at CBS
