So, I was reading late and didn't comprehend, did they get rid of that trashy, wood, used letter board? They showed it on camera at least once, I wanna say during that 88-89 rerun abused season on GSN.

It may've been old and "trashy", but it did get the job done. Why would its condition matter when it was rarely seen anyway?

It's doesn't start with that supposition. It pretends to start with that supposition, so that when people see stuff that they know, they feel smarter than they really are. And they watch the show because they think they know a lot about it.
