- 4/26 6:30PMPaul Lisnek- TV/Movie Memorabilia"Paul Lisnek is a man of many talents: a lawyer, an award-winning television and radio host, a nationally recognized jury and trial consultant, an on-air political and legal analyst, an author, and a prolific collector. Paul was in fact featured on the premiere episode of “Collector’s Call,’ exhibiting his extensive collection of U.S. historical political items. Paul is making a return appearance on the show’s seventh season, but this time, he is showcasing his enormous TV/movie memorabilia collection. His home is filled with everything from Lucille’s Ball’s personal makeup kit and a T bird jacket signed by Olivia Newton John and John Travolta, to Gilligan’s hat and a cane signed by Charlie Chaplin. Paul is joined by our expert, Mark Short, who has an immense collection of Hollywood memorabilia. Mark will put a price tag on Paul’s entire TV and movie memorabilia collection, but will he be able to entice Paul to part with one of his treasures in exchange for one of Mark’s own items?"
- 5/3 6:30PMPaul Chu- Star Wars"Paul Chu's Star Wars collection is otherworldly, almost like it's from a galaxy far, far away. As a kid, Paul had Star Wars toys, but sold them to pay for tuition and dental school . After becoming a dentist, Paul amassed Star Wars collectibles that he had had as a kid, and then some. Today we'll see some of his favorites, including the Star Wars artwork he got from a dumpster dive; international collectibles like the Uzay Headman from Turkey; and even his beloved, one-of-one Boba Fett bounty hunter figure. Star Wars expert and all around toy guy, John Ragusa, who's also a friend of Paul's, will appraise this sensational collection and offer a trade-something Paul may never get his hands on again. What will Paul do? May the force be with him."
- 5/10 6:30PMDave Rautio- Pinball/Pop Culture"Dave Rautio likes to call his collection, the House of Collectibles, and really loves to share it with friends and family. Today, Dave will show us a few of his favorite things from his vast collection, including some of his harder to get pinball machines, some toys and games from when he was a kid, and even a broken and autographed guitar from KISS band member Paul Stanley. Our expert today is Zespy, an extremely knowledgeable arcade owner and a generalist collector himself. After appraising Dave's collection, he'll offer to trade Dave something that's right up his alley, but how will Dave feel about giving up the collectible Zespy's asking for in return?"
