- 5/29 6:30PMRonald Toby- Vintage Toys and Sports"A quick look into Ronald Toby’s home reveals a man with a passion for preserving history. While each room relays a special theme, from an African Safari to a 1940s-themed kitchen, our host, Lisa, narrows in on some of Ronald’s favorite toy and sports collectibles. From an original Roy Rogers Quick Shooter Hat to boxing gloves signed by Muhammed Ali and Joe Frazier, Ronald has been holding on to many of his collectibles since his own childhood. Our expert, Scott Ibarra, takes on the challenge of appraising Ronald’s “blue collar museum” and taps into Ronald’s nostalgic heart when he offers to trade an item from his personal collection for a toy that transports him back to his childhood."
- 6/5 6:30PMAllen Singleton- G.I. Joe"By day, Allen Singleton and his wife, Diana, run vintage toy franchise, Applejax Toys, but Allen’s love of toy collecting began almost 40 years ago. Allen has been collecting G.I. Joes since the 1980s, and now he has a basement filled with over 100,000 G.I. Joe collectibles to prove it. Lisa and general appraiser, Kate Martin, join the couple, as Allen shares his favorite items and vast knowledge of the “Real American Hero,” with exciting pieces such as a rare “silent” comic book, a first edition G.I. Joe action figure ready for space flight, and one of the largest toys ever produced - an aircraft carrier model that’s over 7 feet long! Kate appraises Allen’s expansive collection and offers Allen the chance to trade one of his beloved items from his childhood for a rare item in mint condition. Also, emotions run high, as Allen receives a sentimental message from one of his all-time heroes."
- 6/12 6:30PMDave Arland- Star Trek"Hooked on the music, the message, the props and its optimistic tone, Dave became enamored with Star Trek as a kid and never looked back. Since the 70’s he’s been an avid collector of not only screen-used props like Tribbles or even the space panel button from Kirk’s chair but has also amassed some amazing-looking replica items like the 3D chess set and Star Trek communicator that look as good as the real thing. Joining Dave today is his supportive wife Karen, who also likes Star Trek, just not as much as her husband. Our pop culture expert Mark Short will assess Dave’s collection and then offer him a trade-- his screen-used Star Trek prop, for one of Dave’s."
