- 8/31 6:30PMShawn Peterson- PEZ"They say to do what you love, and Shawn Peterson loves PEZ. After years of collecting rare dispensers, candies, and other company artifacts, Shawn successfully pitched a PEZ Visitor Center at the company’s historic and still-functioning factory, where he now manages and shares his collection with 80,000 visitors a year. He also shares his collection with Collector’s Call, taking Lisa, and PEZ Price Guide expert and appraiser, John LaSpina, on a ride through PEZ history, including: a 1940s PEZ Girl uniform, a rare Colonel Sanders prototype, and a giant edible candy tablet that you can only acquire if you’re invited to the headquarters factory in Germany. John appraises Shawn’s collection and attempts a trade, offering an ultra rare set and display featured in a Montgomery Ward catalogue in exchange for a dispenser from the 1984 Winter Olympics. Also, Shawn shows Lisa around the PEZ factory and takes her behind-the-scenes of the candy-making process."
- 9/7 6:30PMMike Pingel- Charlie's Angels"In the city of angels, writer, actor, and publicist Mike Pingel has immersed himself in the world of Charlie’s Angels. When the show made its debut in 1976, it was an instant smash hit, and a young Mike was among the legions of fans. So much so that he started collecting magazines, toys, and other memorabilia, a collection that now consists of more than 2,000 items. He then moved to Los Angeles and created a newsletter called Angelic Heaven. He was determined to meet the Angels, and he did. Mike later launched charliesangels.com, took part in Farrah Fawcett’s reality series Chasing Farrah, and served as her personal assistant from 2005-2007. He walks our pop culture expert and art historian Jennifer Klein through his heavenly collection."
