• 4/12 6:30PMBob Boden- Game Show Memorabilia
  "Bob Boden’s résumé is crowded with the game shows he devoted his career to writing, producing, and co-creating, including such all-time favorites as Jeopardy!, Family Feud, Press Your Luck, The $25,000 Pyramid, and more. Today his home is equally crowded with artifacts and memorabilia from those shows and many others, and he’s opened up his archives to share with Lisa Whelchel and Collector’s Call. Among the treasures we’ll showcase are a Price Is Right plinko chip; the Family Feud face-off podium; the $5,000 wedge from Wheel of Fortune; Gene Rayburn’s iconic skinny microphone from Match Game; the Joker’s Wild slot-machine lever; and the giant “J” from the Jeopardy! set. Entertainment archivist and prop detective Rob Klein will be on hand to appraise the collection, then try to tempt Bob into trading away one of its treasures, with the help of special guest, game-show icon Marc Summers!"
• 4/19 6:30PMPhebe Taylor & Jeff Zappala- Forgotten Toys
  "Phebe Taylor and Jeff Zappala may love forgotten toy lines, but their collection is anything but forgettable. After years of collecting separately and then together, the two opened the Museum of Nostalgia in Queens, NY, to share their favorite toys and ephemera with their community, while also inviting others to start collections of their own through an adjoining toy store. Phebe and Jeff now share their collection with Lisa Whelchel and expert John Ragusa, a fellow toy shop owner. The museum features beloved and esoteric toys from the ’60s–’80s, including snack-themed combatants from Food Fighters; figures from one of their favorite obscure cartoons, BraveStarr; and a line inspired by Filmation Ghostbusters, whose live-action series predates the iconic film by nine years. After appraising the collection, John proposes a trade, three toys for two, to see if his own items are worthy of museum status."
• 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?"
