Collector's Call, Hosted by Lisa Whelchel (Blair on The Facts of Life), the 13-episode unscripted series will introduce you to some of the biggest collectors of pop culture memorabilia in the country.
If you think this collector looks familiar, you're right! But when you have as many fabulous screen-used TV Costumes, Props and Vehicles from the 60's and 70's as Stewart does, one visit with his collection just won't cut it. Today, for the second time, Stewart will show Lisa some of the actual costumes worn on the TV shows that so many of us have loved over so many years, and wait till you see how he has them displayed.
'Monster Party' podcaster Shawn Sheridan is into horror, his wife Gina is all about sci-fi. Together they've made their pop-culture passion a cornerstone of their marriage, as we find out when Lisa joins them in the room they've dedicated to their shared collection of action figures, memorabilia, and more.
Kenneth Guinup's love for 'Weird Al' Yankovic goes back to his childhood, when Al's response to his fan letter helped Kenneth through a difficult time. Now Kenneth isn't just a lifelong fan, he's a collector who's assembled a wild and wonderful range of 'Weird Al' artifacts, collectibles, and one-of-a-kind treasures, including Al's very first EP, an exclusive jacket given only to 'Weird Al's' video team, and a screen-used guitar signed by the entire band.
You might be hard-pressed to find anyone who loves pizza more than Telina- not necessarily eating it but collecting pizza related items. Telina found her passion when she was traveling around the world and noticed how everyone, everywhere, can get behind PIZZA. Today the Guinness World Record holder shows off some of her most offbeat, and some might say, cheesiest pizza items. There's her pizza swag chain, and pizza box from a cult classic movie, not to mention her pizza dress, designed especially for her. Joining us today is John, best known for his toy expertise, but being Italian, and loving pizza, doesn't hurt. After valuating her collection, John will present Telina a trade offer that'll be incredibly hard to top.
There are Star Wars collections, and then there is Gus Lopez's out-of-this-world, Star Wars collection. A fan of the space opera since he was a kid, Gus doesn't just collect the obvious - Han Solo's screen-used jacket, one-of-a-kind prototypes, C-3PO's body parts, but there's also the ultimate weapon - you know the one, THE DEATH STAR. So, with a collection like that, we had to call Rob Klein, an archivist, pop culture expert and huge Star Wars fan himself - to walk Lisa through this incredible collection and try putting a value on all of Gus's prized possessions. Then, Rob attempts to make a trade with Gus, by bringing him a special Star Wars collectible that may not be familiar to every Star Wars fan, but in exchange, our expert wants something that reminds him of some quality time he and his Dad shared a long time ago.
The tribe has spoken: Jamie Knoll O'Neill has the best Survivor collection around. Jamie inherited both the collection and the love for the game from her late father, who spent decades hunting down iconic pieces from the most popular reality TV show in history, and now, she's managing Vintage Survivor Store to pass on the collection to future generations. Lisa, who tied for 2nd place on Survivor: Philippines, has brought along a fellow Survivor legend - the 3-time player and season 3 Survivor: Africa winner, Ethan Zohn. Today, the pair revisit triumphs and failures from their own 39-day adventures as Jamie shows off her dad's treasures, including torches from fan-favorite players, a memorable outfit worn by the "Queen of Survivor," and the original Tribal Council urn from season 1 - with all the final votes still inside. Ethan values Jamie's priceless collection, and he's come ready to trade with a truly one-of-a-kind item in exchange for a piece of his own history. Also - emotions run high as Jeff Probst sends a special message to tribute Jamie's father, Dan Knoll, who made this all possible.
Mark Short is one of our most featured experts on movie and television props, costumes, and memorabilia. Today we turn the tables and explore Mark's own personal collection of screen used props and costumes. His interest in collecting these items began as a child and grew with the support of his mother. He shows Lisa Sylvester Stallone's costume from the film "Judge Dread," Arnold Schwarzenegger's prop knife from "Predator," and the chainsaw and robotic hand from the TV show "Ash vs. Evil Dead" with Bruce Campbell. Joining Mark is James Azrael, who runs the Horror and Sci-Fi Prop Preservation Association. James puts a value on Mark's entire collection and then offers Mark the one item he needs in his sword collection in exchange for a signed copy of a rare phone book prop from the film "Bill and Ted Face the Music."
