An ordained minister, Rodney's fascination with the Caped Crusader inspired him to create his own masked hero: Pastor Batman. As Pastor Batman, Rodney speaks at youth camps, makes hospital visits, and engages in random acts of kindness. Joining Rodney is his wife, and fellow pastor, Diana; and we've brought in toy expert Mark Huckabone to appraise Rodney's collection. Mark also has with him two rare Batman-related items to see if he can make a trade with Rodney.

Collecting antique cars has been a family affair for Sheri Goldstrom since she was a little girl.

About 15 years ago she built a car museum to show off their amazing collection, which ranges from a 1918 dump truck to a 1956 Chevy. Joining Sheri is her marketing director, tour guide, and stand-up comedian friend Dan Hall, who also loves old cars. We invited Chris Clyne, a close family friend of Sheri and her family's, who has his own massive collection of antique and hot-rod cars, to join us. Chris will not only try to put a dollar amount on Sheri's collection, but will also see if he can trade a 1940 Ford that he brought with him for a vehicle that is closest to Sheri and her family's heart.

Many collectors aspire to turn their collection into a museum; Allen Stewart is one step ahead of them. His Hall of Heroes superhero museum houses his collection of 65,000 comic books - all of which he's read - as well as a wide range of memorabilia, movie props, and more. Allen shares with Lisa some of his proudest finds: a wooden Superman action figure from 1939; the 1942 comic that first cover-featured Wonder Woman; the sports car crushed by Iron Man in the first Marvel Universe movie; and a shield used onscreen by Chris Evans' Captain America. Allen is joined by his son Kyle, who grew up with the collection. We've brought along Peter Przysiezny, president of Comic Book Roadshow, who will set a value on the museum's contents. Peter has also brought a copy of the rare comic that debuted Batman's arch-nemesis The Riddler, which Allen doesn't have, in the hopes of making a trade with him.

After seeing The Beatles on The Ed Sullivan Show, Rick Lisnek was never the same. He devoted a large part of his life to collecting everything related to The Fab Four, and now displays it all in his gallery-like basement. Among his most prized items are the infamous censored "Butcher" album cover; a very rare tin of Beatles talcum powder; a vintage Beatles record player; and some hotel bed sheets on which the band members once slept (or did they? We'll find out!). Rick is joined by his brother Paul, who has helped him acquire many of his items (and whose own amazing collection was profiled in our first season). We've also brought along Jeff Augsburger, author of a Beatles memorabilia price guide. Jeff will appraise Rick's collection; he's also brought two items he hopes will entice Rick into a trade - including a ticket to a 1966 Beatles concert, which he knows Rick has been seeking.

With over 1,700 board games in his collection, Jeff Bauspies is the Guinness World Record holder for the largest collection of its kind. His custom-built basement is packed floor-to-ceiling with games arranged in alphabetical order, some of which are quite rare - including a 1941 edition of Monopoly, and nearly every game in the 3M Bookshelf series. We're joined by Jeff's cousin, Mary, as well as appraiser and board game specialist, Kate Martin. Kate will put an overall value on Jeff's collection, and then attempt to trade her vintage Six Million Dollar Man board game for one of Jeff's prized possessions.

Michael Knight and Mel Gutherie's stunning collection of classic Hollywood cars and memorabilia is so unique that it has been featured at various Comic-Cons throughout the country. Featured items in their collection of original and replica Hollywood cars range from the Batmobile to Scooby Doo's "Mystery Machine."

Eric shares with Lisa some of the highlights of his collection, including a braid of Chewbacca's hair from the original movie; a swatch from Jabba the Hutt's sail barge in Return Of The Jedi; 1980s Han Solo and Lando Calrissian action figures; and a billboard too massive to display anywhere but in Eric's backyard. Eric is joined by his mom, Connie, who has nurtured his collection over the years. We've also brought along Jimmy Mac, a podcaster and Star Wars collector who will appraise Eric's collection - and who's managed to find a rare Star Wars item Eric doesn't have, in hopes of making a trade with him.

He shares with us some of his most treasured acquisitions, including family portraits commissioned by Lucy; a bullfighter hat worn onscreen by Desi Arnaz; a female I Love Lucy baby doll pulled from the shelves after she gave birth to a boy; and a mini-collection of in-store displays featuring Lucy as celebrity spokeswoman. Bryan is accompanied by Chelsea Dalley, his close friend and business manager; we've also brought along Kieta, a memorabilia expert and fellow lover of Lucy, to appraise his collection. Kieta's got a surprise up her sleeve: a hat worn by Lucy onscreen, which she's hoping to trade for one of Bryan's treasures.

As movie costume collector James Azrael puts it, "movies define us." To him, movies serve as markers in time, tracking milestones in one's life. But collecting costumes and props is about more than just the personal connection for James; it's also a way of preserving history. He considers himself the keeper of these iconic costumes for a moment in time, and he and his friend Brad have restored many of the items to their original condition. James' collection boasts identifiable costumes from films like Robocop, Little Shop of Horrors, The Terminator, Friday the 13th and countless more. James and Brad are joined today by friend, appraiser and fellow movie costume collector Mark, who often helps James track down highly sought-after items. Mark has brought along an item in hopes of making a trade - but James has never traded or sold one of his costumes or props.

The name is Redenius. Doug Redenius. And this former postal worker has been one of the world's most pre-eminent James Bond memorabilia collectors for more than 30 years. Doug, a Bond fan since Goldfinger first came out in theaters in 1964, sold over 12,000 pieces of his Bond memorabilia to a Miami collector a few years ago. But he still controls the most valuable part of the Bond legacy: many of the vehicles featured in the movies over the years, from the helicopter in the unforgettable chase sequence in From Russia, With Love, to the Q-Boat featured in the unforgettable Thames River chase sequence in The World Is Not Enough. Doug controls the collection as the co-founder of the Ian Fleming Foundation, which displays the vehicles at charitable fund-raisers. He's joined by fellow Ian Fleming Foundation board member Colin Clark, an airline mechanic and Bond fan who maintains many of the vehicles in the collection. Lisa has brought radio and television host Roe Conn to the airplane hangar where the Bond vehicles are stored. Roe is a longtime Bond fan and veteran 007 memorabilia collector who will appraise Doug's collection - and who has brought one of his own pieces of Bond memorabilia to offer in a trade, which might be a perfect fit on one of Doug's Bond treasures.

Bill Leff is a former standup comedian who has spent the last 20-plus years working as a radio talk show host. Bill's collection is almost as fun as he is. Since childhood, he has amassed thousands of vintage toys, dolls and figurines. Bill's collection includes rare items that may be familiar to some Baby Boomers - like the multi-purpose boys' action figure from the 1960s, Captain Action; or the Outer Spacemen, a beloved group of extra-terrestrial figurines from the Colorforms toy company that were popular in the early 1970s. Bill is joined by his longtime friend from the standup comedy circuit, Leo Benvenuti. Leo has been a respected screenwriter for years, responsible for movies like Space Jam and The Santa Clause. And while he doesn't collect, Leo looks at his friend's toy collection with a combination of bemusement and admiration. Lisa has brought along Mark Huckabone, a vintage toy collector, to appraise Bill's collection; and Mark's trade item will definitely strike a chord with fans of classic TV westerns.

Jim Turano's love for Elton John started in 1973, when he was nine years old and heard "Crocodile Rock" on the radio.

Photographer Mel Bravo didn't start her Barbie collection until she was an adult - but she's more than made up for lost time, amassing a collection of more than 3,000 versions of the world's most famous fashion doll, plus accessories, spinoffs and more. And the collection is still growing; Mel estimates she spends $20,000 a year in new acquisitions. She shares with Lisa some of her prize finds, including an original Barbie from 1959 in nearly pristine condition; the entire line of Golden Dream Barbies from all around the globe; and a vintage coat made for Barbie from real mink, whose market value is now higher than a full-size mink for a real person. Mel is joined by her friend Anne Laurie, who gets her first astonished look at the actual depth of Mel's collection. Meanwhile Lisa's brought along certified appraiser Kate Martin to appraise the collection - and to try to tempt Mel into a trade for an extremely rare item not in Mel's collection: a fully accessorized version of the German doll that inspired Barbie's creation.

Others have connections to television - like the 1975 Happy Days script signed by "the Fonz," Henry Winkler. But all the signed items from Al's collection are unique. Al is joined by his wife Cindy, who encouraged Al to start his collection years ago. And Lisa has brought along Scott Ibarra, a sports memorabilia dealer and collector himself who, like Al, is a huge Chicago Cubs fan.
