I'm assuming there will be booths set up around the venue to sell Seinphenalia; programs, t-shirts, etc. I was wondering if someone who's been to a recent show can clue me in as to what kind of stuff they're selling and what the prices were like. Thanks in advance.
Books Do a search at Amazon.com under 'Seinfeld', I have one of each.
Videos All 180 episodes, 2 Emmy consideration tapes (from '97 and '98, both still in plastic), the Stand-Up Confidential tape, the "I'm telling you for the last time" tape, the 100th Episode tape, both Seinfeld blooper tapes, and about 11 hours of taped pre and post-Finale hype (Interviews, restrospectives, speculation, A&E Biography specials, Letterman, Leno, Access Hollywood, Entertainment Tonight, Hard Copy, yada yada yada.)
Magazines About 60 of all kinds. EW, Rolling Stone, Time, People, Newsweek, GQ, Playboy, 9 different TV Guides and a number of tribute mags released around the time of the Finale.

A wall clock with the Seinfeld logo in the center.

A framed wall hanging of 4 8"x10"s autographed by the gang.
3 $1 bills, one each with pictures of Jerry, Kramer and the fab four in place of Washington's face.

A "Seinfeld Express Card" mockup in a display box sent by Paramount to potential network affiliates.
6 boxes of matches featuring the Seinfeld logo and photos of Jerry, Julia and Michael in their now infamous "Wizard of Oz" outfits. (Still looking for Jason.)
1 original Seinfeld episode shooting script. From "The Caddy". (It's the prop guy's copy. It includes notes about what he's going to need for each scene. Really cool.)
An ASSMAN license plate from NY. Not real, but stamped aluminum painted to look exactly like the real ASSMAN plate. (I keep it in my car window.)
A nearly life sized cardboard cutout of the gang (from a bookstore promotion when EW devoted their issue to Seinfeld).
A 6' Kramer cardboard stand-up from a Pepsi ad Richards did a few years back.
About 15 bumper stickers with various Seinfeld related quotes on them and several Vandelay Industries Parking Permit window decals. (One on my car, the others in an envelope.)

A 500 piece jigsaw puzzle of "The Kramer" portrait. Unopened.
A $1000 "Seinbucks" bill. (Fake money given to the crew for a "Vegas Night" party.)

An unopened Seinfeld CD complete with a 10-minute calling card (inside the shrink wrap.)

So what's missing?
If anyone has anything that's not on this list, please send me an e-mail. I'm pretty sure we can work something out.
Bite your tongue, Mike. I'm holding out on some TV newsmagazine doing a story on me someday, how would it look if I pointed to an empty room and said, "Well, that's where my T-shirts were and that's where I kept the Jerry Seinfeld Pez dispenser and over here I had my Seinfeld logo yo-yos and back there, that was where I kept my 6' cardboard Kramer stand-up and..."
Dave (and the magazines, oy too many to count, you should have seen them.)
I can see it now, some cute and perky young video school graduate doing her first intern documentary on the history of television, and you Dave, sitting in your wheel chair with your white belted pants pulled up above your stomach ".... yep those were the days - on-line twice a day - answering questions about Newman's first name, insulting those posters that wanted personal e-mail replies, . . . defending Larry David's Finale, . . . yep those were the days, .. and look around all these magazines, mugs and Tee shirts - in fact Mike sent me the Moops card too. see on page 16, . . . . . . yep those were the days. . . . now change my diaper."
