There's a store on Etsy that does this. I've actually bought a replica wheel and the video game coasters and have been very happy with all of itThis eBay listing is light on details, but the lack of wear and tear visible in the pictures leads me to believe these weren't used on the show. I know the props folks made some lookalike chips for photo shoots, which would be easier to "lose track of"... I wonder whether that's what those are.
Creating chips that look authentic seems like something someone with a little crafting talent could probably do for not terribly much money. If someone is willing to drop $1200 and not be worried about proof of provenance, there might be money to be made there.

Hat tip to Scott. I am the new owner of that Beat the Clock cel.
A close source has said that Just Play Products board game based on Pop Culture Jeopardy! will not be released until Fall 2026!While the timeline probably doesn't line up, I wonder if this is a strategic move to align with the release of Season 2 on Netflix.
This all brings up an interesting possibility about Allen's final months. He had left Password Plus in October of 1980, and even though he almost certainly wasn't up to hosting the entire telethon in March of 81, contemporary newspaper stories identify him as one of the galaxy of starts that would make an appearance over the course of the show. If that happened (and there are logical reasons to believe that it may not have), then the 1981 Stop Arthritis Telethon would almost certainly have been his final TV appearance.
