He'll appraise Shon's collection and offer a trade only the most passionate Pearl Jam fans could ponder.

Voice actor and puppeteer Wally Wingert has a joyful obsession with the pop culture of the '60s through the 1980s -- so much so that he's turned his Los Angeles home into what he calls "Wallywood": a virtual museum of treasures including Jack Lord's "Hawaii 5-O" ensemble (complete with height-enhancing boots), the actual passport of Ed McMahon (Wally's predecessor as "Tonight Show" announcer), the very first licensed Kermit puppet (from before he was even a frog), and the iconic stage costume of comedy legend Andy Kaufman ... plus so much more. Lisa's invited "Collector's Call" favorite Rob Klein to put a value on Wally's entire collection ... then to try to tempt him into a trade -- an offer that comes down to a very small piece of colored resin with a very big '60s TV connection.

Marla Mogul has collected so many of her beloved wind-up toys that she landed in the Guinness Book of World Records.

As the owner of Chicago Sports Museum, Grant DePorter has taken his two passions, sports, and pop culture- and created a sports-lover-pop culture paradise. DePorter shows Lisa some of his one-of-a-kind sports collectibles like the basketball hoop where Michael Jordan hit his last shot to win his 6th NBA championship. He also has the cursed Cubs ball that some say, cost the Cubs the chance to go to the 2003 World Series. Grant subsequently destroyed that ball and proudly displays its carnage in his museum. Our expert today is Scott who deals and collects sports memorabilia himself. He'll check out Grant's museum, appraise Grant's championship-like collection and try making a trade with him. But Grant better stay on his toes. Scott's going for the jugular- offering our collector an item from his favorite movie, but in exchange, Scott wants one of Grant's museum pieces that'll be almost impossible to replace.

Doc Mack is the owner and proprietor of Galloping Ghost, the world's largest video game arcade -- a place so massive it generates 19 separate electric bills.

She also checks out the ultra-rare Primal Rage 2, which never made it to market, and gets a privileged look at the Sega R 360, an actual flight-simulator module where the player is spun, flipped, and rolled while engaging in game-play -- Doc's being the only one available to the public anywhere in the world. Doc's friend and colleague, Zespy, a video game aficionado and owner of his own arcade, is on hand to set a price on Doc's unparalleled collection -- then to try to tempt him into a trade.

Legendary music producer and performer Chris Christian has racked up four Grammys and countless gold records (for artists like Amy Grant, Olivia Newton-John, Hall and Oates, and more).

He shares with us a dazzling array of iconic items, including the "Wayne's World" neon sign and guitar; the bench (and more) from "Forrest Gump", and the full set of curtain costumes the Von Trapp children wore in "The Sound of Music." Chris also displays the personal Victrola of his good friend Elvis Presley -- the first artist ever to record one of his songs. Lisa's invited expert appraiser Greg Holman, whose experience includes work for Heritage Auctions, to place a value on Chris's seemingly priceless collection; and then, even more dauntingly, to propose a trade for something he's brought along. The show is also a heartwarming introduction for Chris and Lisa, two Texans who have traveled in the same circles for decades, mutually aware and respectful of each other without ever actually meeting -- until now.

He will show Lisa everything from the 3D prototype for Nintendo's Game Boy, to the original style guides for "The Simpsons," to one of the only Elmo characters never released to public. Mark is joined by one of his daughters, Michelle, and pop culture and toy expert Joel Magee, who will appraise the entire collection.
