Big Bang The Precious Fragmentation (2007–2019) Online

Leonard, Sheldon, Howard and Raj jointly purchase a box, whose contents are unknown, for $60 at a garage sale. While sorting through it, they find that it contains primarily pop culture related items. They are happy with some of the contents, and less so with others. But when one of Howard's friends verifies the authenticity of one of the items, the guys think they've won the lottery when in their possession is the missing (stolen) one of only nine in total rings used in Peter Jackson's The Lord of the Rings trilogy. Being a stolen item, the ring has no open market value, but they determine its black market value is in the range of $10,000 to $15,000. The four argue about to who among the four the ring rightly belongs, and thus who decides what to do with it. They agree to let Penny hold onto it until they decide. After an incident with Sheldon, Penny doesn't want to be the keeper of the ring anymore. Howard comes up with what all four agree is an amenable solution as to who gets to ...
Episode complete credited cast:

Jim Parsons Jim Parsons - Sheldon Cooper
Kaley Cuoco Kaley Cuoco - Penny
Simon Helberg Simon Helberg - Howard Wolowitz
Kunal Nayyar Kunal Nayyar - Raj Koothrappali

Items that are pulled out of the box at the beginning include "Brain Warp," a toy sword, a baseball mitt, a Ghostbusters 2 script, a plush Alf, two unnamed comic books, a Spock action figure head, a Mr. T doll missing a head, a Spock doll with Mr. T's head, an Indiana Jones connect-the-dots activity book, an Aquaman action figure, and "THE RING."

Sheldon's "ketchup" spiel was almost a word for word recitation of a portion of the "ketchup" entry on Wikipedia at the time, with the only difference being that a few other flavorings had been omitted.

The first episode in which Howard's father is mentioned.

Leonard finds a Ghostbusters II (1989) script in the box. Johnny Galecki starred in Bean (1997) with Ghostbusters II (1989) star Peter MacNicol.

Title reference: In The Lord of the Rings, the character Gollum is known for referring to the One Ring as "The Precious," and the relationships of Sheldon, Leonard, Howard and Raj start to break up over an authentic movie prop of the ring.

Sheldon wears a Red Lantern t-shirt in this story. It is one of only a handful of episodes in which he wears a super villain emblem rather than a superhero.

As Sheldon, Raj, and Howard are sitting on the couch holding the ring, Sheldon is wearing a t-shirt bearing the symbol of DC Comics' Red Lanterns, who wield rings fueled by hate and rage.
