TPiR Credit Card, Lingo T-Shirt, GSN hat, and assorted other trinkets they sent in a "thank you" package.
$1.98 Beauty Show tiara and sash from when it started airing on GSN.  I also have (somewhere) a WWTBAM pencil and coin from when I tried out in '02.

I am very pleased to have in my possession a set piece from the original "Reach for the Top" CBC series, having uncovered it in a university basement 10 years ago.

A blue "Wheel" tote bag, complete w/keychain of a miniwheel, T-shirt, pen, and baseball cap, all with the show's logo. Received courtesy of our morning anchor who did a piece on how the show works (he actually got a box full of bags courtesy of the show).

A red "Merv Griffin's Crosswords" duffel bag and white T-shirt w/the show's logo. This was actually given to the programming director by Program Partners, even though another station airs the show in this market.

Let's see...a Bill Cullen lunchbox....no wait, I'm confusing me with Bob Goen.  :)

I have an art card for "Mindreaders," a presskit from WOF from the early 90's, both of which I got from ebay and the one thing I got myself was a personally autographed pic of Ray Combs when he was appearing at a department store in Toledo.

I also have a bunch of old TV Guides, so if any contained an ad for a game show circa 1965 and beyond, I probably have it.

I don't know how I forgot about this, and this might be the most interesting item in my collection...

Two showcase price cards and sleeves from season 35.  These were not made in Chris Clementson's basement with supplies from Staples.  They are the real deal, having come from someone who worked on the show.

Initials CCN, as you used the past tense.

I don't have a basement. We have a rec room in our building as some members will attest.

From the information on those cards, did the first contestant bid or pass on their showcase?

The top winner bid on SC1.

Here's a recap of this episode, from November 17, 2006.

One thing I have from actual show use is a prize envelope from Wheel it says RIVIERA (From the W-H-E-E-L version bonus round). Signed by Pat and Vanna. I'm saying it may be from 1993-ish or so. I'm not sure.

I also have a Wheel clock and some assorted GS shirts including a Whammy! one. I also have autographed pics on my wall in my office (Pat/Vanna, Barker, Trebek). I'm sure I have some more stuff stashed somewhere that I am forgetting.

My collection is kind of small.

A Wheel of Fortune baseball cap
Autographed picture of The Unknown Comic from a GSN promotion (it's buried in a box somewhere)
A small collection of game show tickets:  2 from WOF in the Chuck/Susan era, a Press Your Luck ticket from 85, and a Price ticket from 77 or so.
And of course name tags, tickets, etc from the time I and a couple friends were in the Price audience.

No fair looking up the recap. I said from the information on the cards (or more precisely, in the picture). Now explain to the class how you could tell that without looking up the recap.
