- 6/14 6:30PMGarner Holt- Disney Animatronics"Garner Holt is a designer and manufacturer of animatronic figures for medical, military, and entertainment uses; but in Garner’s case, his business is also very much his pleasure. He’s assembled a world-class personal collection of animatronics and other artifacts from Disney theme parks, and has invited Lisa and Collector’s Call to come on in and possibly hop on board! Among the spectacular pieces we’ll feature are a Dumbo vehicle from the aerial ride named after the cartoon elephant; a turtle from Disneyland’s original Submarine Voyage ride; a pirate-ship themed car from the Peter Pan attraction; and a toboggan-shaped Matterhorn ride vehicle. Garner also share some other pieces of vintage Disney park memorabilia, including a Disneyland Opening Day gold ticket for VIPs; and Adventure Thru Inner Space miniature; and more. Disney-park expert and collector Joel Magee joins Lisa, and both sets a value on Garner’s 900-piece collection, and makes a bid to trade one of his own treasures for something he’s got his eye on."
- 6/21 6:30PMDavid Alpert- Dopey"Snow White & the Seven Dwarfs are usually a package deal, but not for David Alpert. His collection focuses solely on his favorite dwarf, Dopey, who stole his heart ever since his Mom bought him a Dopey figurine when he was a little boy. Today, David will share some of his most beloved Dopey collectibles including the Disney cel, the Dopey Nutcracker and even the Dopey Steiff Teddy Bear that David likes to joke, was made especially for him! Our expert, John Ragusa, whose knowledge of toys dwarfs almost anyone's, will appraise David's collection and then try making a trade with him. He's brought an item for David that he's sure will sweep our collector off his feet, but how will David feel about parting with a piece of his childhood?"
- 6/28 6:30PMJosh Holbrook- Pop Culture"The fact that Josh Holbrook runs a pizza parlor in a former elementary school is remarkable enough, but add in the fact that the building also houses his exhaustive collection of vintage pop culture artifacts and memorabilia, and you've got an unforgettable episode of "Collector's Call." Lisa has brought along show favorite Kate Martin to appraise Josh's collection, including such show-stopping treasures as wax-museum figures of Laverne & Shirley and Archie & Edith, life-size Simpsons figures aboard an actual McDonald's Playland train, and an Ultimate Warrior figurine that might, or might not, be worth a small fortune. Kate has also brought along one of her own vintage treasures to try and tempt Josh to give up something in his collection that she's got her eye on. Is her offer enough to make the pizza-maker bite?"
