Wonder if this is cleanup of the old studio? Hit Me as well?

On a semi-unrelated note, what I wouldn’t give to have the old Jeopardy! lecterns in my house.
Back on topic, I wonder if there are any old set pieces involving eggcrate displays that will be up for auction.
MSTieScott:
The Hit Me listing is odd. The description says those playing cards depicted in the photo are fixed to the sign for display. Which seems like it would lessen the value of the set piece, but also, those aren't the authentic cards. Not only are the dimensions wrong, but the depicted cards are too rounded, and the design on the backs wasn't printed that close to the edge.
I know for a fact that when the producers gave away that Hit Me piece, they gave away the full deck of cards (because if I had known they were going to do that, I would have asked for the cards). Did the auction company scan the cards, print out six new ones at different dimensions, and attach them to the board -- perhaps intending to auction off the real deck at some future date? It's strange.
This isn't a clearing out of Television City, as that Hit Me piece was taken off the lot in 2008. Which makes me now wonder whether Poker Game and Joker will be showing up in the near future.
MSTieScott:
Oh, wait a minute... did they stick the Joker cards on the Hit Me board? I bet that's what that is.

Unlikely. Before set pieces are discarded, any functioning electronic displays are removed so Television City can use them again. It's the reason I could never steal the Check-Out calculator even though I really really wanted to.
