Dick DeBartolo is selling Match Game questions, apparently from the original NBC series, at $19.99 for three question cards, plus an autographed copy of Mad Magazine. Details can be found at Dick's website here. (http://\"http://www.gizwizbiz.com/tvshows/thematchgame.html\")

Oh my....excellent! I'll consider getting a set...or two.
-
Thanks so much for the heads-up on this. DdB is putting a set in the mail for me, first thing Monday. What a great collector's item! I was a huge, huge "Match Game 6x" fan from the time I was five.
-
Having been accused of having a good memory, I remember how once, Gene Rayburn had a question about one of Mr. DeBartolo's questions, and DeBartolo actually came out, did a quick, sweeping wave to the camera, leaned back to confer sotto voce with Rayburn (who was standing behind a counter), then waved at the camera again before ducking out.
What a shame virtually all of the NBC "Match Game" episodes were destroyed.

That was back in the day when DeBartolo was actually in the studio for tapings. Dick may never have set foot on the CBS lot for the 70's series, as he actually sent in his questions from New York and everyone else was working in LA with Ira Skutch and the gang.
-
During most of the NBC run, I thought that the little box on Rayburn's podium was a machine that would spit out a question. Then, one day toward the end of the series, they showed DdB sitting off-set, pushing the card through with a grocery-grabber type device.

Same with our paychecks (each one hand-autographed by the late Howard F. Todman*).

In the one example on the page, the top one is from the CBS days, with Dick asking Ira if the Joe Namath panty hose commercials are airing in LA. You can see Ira's answer on the card.
And I'm surprised that Dick did get residuals from the GSN reruns, since they weren't WGA jurisdiction.
-
You ever notice how a lot of the "blank" questions DdB wrote on the original Match Game in the 1960's generally involved John and Mary, as well as a variation or two on those names? They weren't going for the laughs as much back then.
-
I got my package today! Here's what's in it:
* Question number 17,583, used twice: On January 24, 1966 (four days before my 9th birthday), when the team captains were Joe Garagiola and Maury Wills ... and then again, taped May 8, 1967, with captains Whitey Ford and Mickey Mantle. The question: Little Mary's new doll could _____![/i]
* An unnumbered, undated question: John always got dressed up before he went to his _____'s house.[/i]
* An unnumbered, undated ... but autographed by DdB ... question: M said to J: "Boy you really must have dressed in a hurry -- you're wearing my _____."
There is also an autographed copy of the latest issue (October 2007) of MAD, and a couple of photocopies of promotional material for MGPM stations.
Very much worth the 20 bucks. I'm getting some more!

Yes, and the first few weeks of Match Game 7x too.
-
Mine arrived today as well. This feels like some of the football card box breaks done on some sportscard trading boards I frequent.
* An inscribed and autographed copy of the October 2007 MAD Magazine. ($3.99 CHEAP!)
* 23,406; from 2/11/1969 (Rita Moreno and Henny Youngman): Complete this sentence with one or more words:
Someone sat on John's _____.
* A world traveler surely would have a sticker marked _____ on his suitcase.
* (Autographed) Men's _____s are usually less expensive to buy than women's _____s. "To buy" is hand-written.
* Two photocopies of Match Game PM promotional material.
To echo Geno's sentiments, this rocks. It's well worth the money for me, a Match Game fan and a reader of MAD Magazine for close to 25 years.

I received my first(?) package yesterday (Thursday). Thanks to the stupid USPS, my cards have a slight crease in them due to folding the manila envelope to fit into our mailbox. Anyway, here's what I received :
#13,578 John had to travel a great distance in order to go _______ing.
(on the back of this card is written 2/16/66 S Henderson, E McMahon)
#161 John's boss said to John: "Why don't you think more about work, and less about _______?"
(girls golf? is handwritten in marker)
#97 John said to Mary: "That must have been some door-to-door salesman. You bought six _______s."
(this one is autographed)
It was a treat seeing the MGPM stuff.
Makes a great Christmas gift, too.

#19,216 Complete this sentence by finishing the word: "Why if it isn't John --- you have gotten ______er since I saw you last."
handwritten on the back in pencil is "10/20/67 (can't read first name, kind of looks like "Dron"), J. Meadows"
11/28/75 The owner of the beauty shop said to the Harry the new hair stylist: "We do not allow our employees to warm their _______s under the hair dryer!" Buns, buns (the other kind), hands, toes
actually in all caps; also has "TEST" handwritten in the upper left, and a vertical line drawn through the question
(No number or date) Mary came home after a two week trip and found John hadn't _____ed a _____.
actually in all caps; also has "WORDS" typed in the upper right
The only problem is that the autograph on the magazine is made out to "James," since that's the name on my Paypal account.

I really am amazed at how much you folks remember! Yes, I sat a few feet from Gene Rayburn and pushed questions through a slide built in the desk. The sound effects guy would watch on a monitor and make sounds so it seemed like a machine was delivery the questions to Gene. Some of the questions that were pushed through that slot are among I'm selling. I'm quite moved that people enjoy owning them. I only wish I had taken tons of them when Goodson closed the NY office. I don't want this to be an ad so I won't post anymore details here. Thanks for keeping The Match Game alive.

Leo and I go off on two different tangents --- talking about the Match Game and talking about the good days when William M. Gaines ran MAD. Since people here seem to have an incredible memory about the old MG shows, let me pose a question --- Does anyone remember the "pickle episode" on MG? An autographed MAD Special for the first one to come up with the correct answer. You can post it on this forum.
Also, so you don't get a shock if you go to my website, I changed the price of the MG question to $22.99. I've had hired someone to help me and I never thought about the cost of sleeves, photo coping etc. All orders that went in as $19.99 are of course at that price. If the new price is really a hardship let me know and I'll invoice you at old price until October 15th. But these questions have turned out to be my only payment for endless years of repeats with up to now -- a total payout of $1.12 in residuals as you can see at www.matchgamequesitons.com. Once these questions are gone, they are not more. Any one have a time machine so I can back to the old Goodson office at 375 Park Avenue and get some more!
Take care,
Dick De (Much preferred to Mr. DeBartolo)

I might be going mad, but is that where everyone answered the word "pickle" to each question Gene asked? Actually, I really want to know, I only have a vague recollection of someone telling me that.

Well done, Josh, that appears to be it. There are two slightly difference references to it on Usenet, this one (http://\"http://groups.google.com/group/alt.tv.game-shows/browse_thread/thread/253643859083da20/c816b110a0ab9dc2?hl=en&lnk=gst&q=%22match+game%22+pickle&rnum=4#c816b110a0ab9dc2\") that says it never aired, and this one (http://\"http://groups.google.com/group/alt.tv.game-shows/browse_thread/thread/369df37a017fad6f/1e6964b90ff0d612?hl=en&lnk=gst&q=%22match+game%22+pickle&rnum=5#1e6964b90ff0d612\") which seems to suggest it did.
I'm delighted to see that Bill Cullen was involved, and probably the instigator. When Mr. DeBartolo Dick De gives us the real story, I'll definitely find a place for it on The Bill Cullen Homepage (http://\"http://userdata.acd.net/ottinger/cullen/\") (which is way overdue for an update as it is).

My questions arrived today, so here they are:
#14,062 (4/21/66, can't make out first celeb, second is McMahon): Complete this sentence with one or more words: John broke the string on his _____.
12/26/75 (yay, '7x era!): The Indian rubber man said: "Hmmmmm, I guess I shouldn't have used an electric hair dryer....it melted my ______." (Also has POTB after it, no idea what that means)
Unused: John bought a dozen ______s at a sale.
Also noteworthy is the fact that I got two autographed MAD Magazines because he screwed up the first one.

Those who get lucky and get 70s questions might someday be enterprising enough to see if we can find out what answers were actually given to their question. :)

Question 1: Hand numbered on the front 23,767
Complete this sentence with one or more words:
Mary said to John: “There’s a pretty girl at the door. She says she’s your ________.”
On the back of the card -dated 4-2-69 - Sales, Lawrence
Question 2: Practical Joker Joe said: “I just finished wiring my best joke yet. If you sit on my ________ it plays the National Anthem”
(possible answers typed in are john, lap, sofa, bed)
Question 3: Mary said: “John, no matter when I see you, you look ________”

I don't recall the exact wording of the question, but I believe the panel's answers referred to "Mary" craving pickles, implying that she was "expecting."
Gene was astonished when the female celeb's team all responded "pickle," and he jokingly threatened to walk out if the first contestant on the other team (celeb: Bill Cullen, I think) had written "pickle." The contestant had done so, so Gene walked out, and Johnny Olson moved behind the host's desk. When the next contestant showed the same response, Johnny walked out, and Dick De himself was left to host the show. Dick said that if (Bill?) wrote "pickle," the audience member selected as the day's phone game contestant would host the rest of the show. Sure enough, (Bill?) did, but that was the end of the gag; Gene and Johnny came back on stage, and play continued.
After almost forty years, the memories of a preteen start to run together; Dick, was that also the episode where the largest phone game jackpot ($3,000) was won?

Oh, what the heck.....I just ordered three sets!
I was a Match Game Fan, and love Dick's work in Mad magazine. I can't remember if he ever did any illustrations for Mad. I'm giving one set to my 15 year old niece for her birthday --- I don't know if she will have any clue what it is -- but I'm going to tell her to save it for her ripe old age and that it will be a collectors item and worth a lot of money.....(I hope)!

E Eric: That's so close, I'll declare you the winner! Here's the story. I'll start with the what happened just before the show. The two celebrities and the four contestants were standing backstage waiting for the tape to roll and the show to begin. One of the celebrities was Bill Cullen who was a great practical joker. He said to everyone backstage: "How about this for a laugh --- no matter what the first question is --- we all answer pickle." Everyone agreed. Bill told me later that he emphasized unless everyone kept their word and said 'pickle', it would be a disaster. Everyone promised, and as you know, everyone did say pickle. And you got most of the rest of the story correct. At one point Rayburn said if the next contestant answers "pickle" I'm walking off the stage. They did and he did. Johnny Olson took over said the same thing --- if the next contestant says "pickle" I'm leaving. They did and Johnny left." So I jumped up and took over. I do remember saying at some point: "I never wanted to write these questions -- I really wanted to host this show and it has finally happened!!!" The last person answered pickle and we went to commercial. Coming back from the commercial Bill Cullen explained his scheme. It was great!!! E. Eric, email with your full name and address and I'll send you your prize. dick@gizwiz.biz And thanks to you folks who wrote me about receiving the questions. I have so many heart felt emails about what it means to own a part of the Match Game. It's wonderful! ___________, everybody. Dick De

Hi there,
I was so pleased to find your comments about Dick DeBartolo. Here's how I first met Dick. And the introduction will never be forgotten. At the time I was a page at NBC-TV and about to get my first production job. After an interview with Dan Enright at Barry & Enright I was hired to be come the contestant PA and assumed the code name of Leslie York. On my first day on the job they brought me into the office and while sitting at my desk they intorduced me to Dick as a co-worker. Dick immediately went into a routine that I later learned he performed for all new B*E employees. He sat down to demonstrate the typerwriter and got his tie caught in the roller, knocked stuff off the desk, got up and put his foot in the waste paper basket and added a numebr of incredible hilarious bits while others were peeking throught the door. Dick was a great guy and so VERY TALENTED.
All the best,
Ronnie Greenberg

Wow, that goes back a LONG, LONG, WAY. Thanks for the kind words Ronnie! I had forgotten that routine. I had another one for new folks hired to find occupations for What's My Line. Before they were introduced to me as a fellow employee, I would fill out the form to apply as a contestant. I would put down a very unlikely occupation like "tightwire walker". Then I would pretty much do the same thing. Fall off the chair during the interview, trip across the door jamb when I entered the person's office, etc., etc. Fortunately everyone didn't mind the joke once we were introduced!

Hi Dick,
I t was wonderful hearing from you. Believe it or not I'm really retired but with a small "r". My partner from years ago, Don Lipp, and I keep coming up with stuff and hopefully will have a few surprises in the near future. I guess you never turn off the creative juices. It keeps us busy. I have your book "Good Days and MAD which is absolutely wonderful. I remember Arnie Kogen and Frank Jacobs writing Letters on Let's Play Post Office .
Warmest Regards,
Ronnie G.

For those who still might be interested ... DickDe only has, at the time of this writing, 11 sets of questions left. Very little time left to grab your piece of MG history!

Which reminds me that I forgot to post a follow-up to this thread: my father loved his Christmas present. He remembers the '60s "Match Game" very well (not to mention the '60s MAD Magazine).

Bump to let you guys know he found another box of questions. If you didn't buy one before, now's your chance!

I bought two of the question packs when DickDe first offered them, and I'm delighted! MG6x was my absolute favorite when I was a kid. To think, Gene held some of these cards in his hot little hands! (The 70s cards were kept in an index file, as I understand it, and were not actually used on the set.)
I wonder if DickDe has any of the MG7x questions, stashed away somewhere? With their unique logo design, they would be something to cherish, too!

/I got one of those in my packet.

I ordered a second batch of questions on Wednesday night and they arrived a few minutes ago. Here's what I got, all on yellow 3x5 cards...
"Tony said: 'I finally made up my mind. I'm going to _____ my secretary!'" Three possible answers are given below--marry, fire, and have an affair with
"You've heard of a girl jumping out of a cake? Well, Tiny Thelma is so small, she can jump out of a _____." with pie, cupcake, crumb bun, and cookie as possible answers.
"The doctor told Nutty Nat he was run down....so Nutty Nat put his _____ in the light socket to charge up." No possible answers given.
Thanks again to Dick DeBartolo for making these available, as well as the signed MAD Magazines. Having a signed copy of MAD is worth the cost, as I've been a fan of MAD for almost a quarter century.
