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.
Marilyn Monroe is one of those entertainment legends whose personal life is as iconic as her movie roles. Lifelong fan Scott Fortner has assembled a dazzling collection that illuminates both aspects of the film star's persona and shares it all with Lisa Whelchel and Collector's Call. From the onscreen side, we'll see the gown she wore (and the fan she wielded) in The Prince and the Showgirl, and her personal script for Gentlemen Prefer Blondes. From the private side, we'll showcase her phone book from 1962; a letter to her former father-in-law on her personal stationary, her custom-made black wool and mink collar suit, and her iconic green Pucci top. Entertainment archivist and screen-worn costume authority Rob Klein appraises the items, and Scott's entire collection, before offering a tempting trade for one of its treasures.
Collector AJ Weir deserves top honors when it comes to his incredible sports collection. First, there are the shoes. Jordan's, that is, autographed by MJ himself. But then there are the one-of-one items like the signed drawing of Babe Ruth, the Cubs lineup card from the 2016 World Series, not to mention the jackets Weir makes for the NBA and other sports leagues. Today, Lisa checks out AJ's collection and brings along sneaker expert Errick Spencer, who knows a cool pair of kicks when he sees one. After appraising AJ's collection, Errick will propose a trade that'll have AJ "soul-searching" for answers.
Garner Holt is a designer and manufacturer of animatronic figures for medical, military, and entertainment uses; but in Garner's case, his business is also very much his pleasure. He's assembled a world-class personal collection of animatronics and other artifacts from Disney theme parks, and has invited Lisa and Collector's Call to come on in and possibly hop on board! Among the spectacular pieces we'll feature are a Dumbo vehicle from the aerial ride named after the cartoon elephant.
The fact that Josh Holbrook runs a pizza parlor in a former elementary school is remarkable enough, but add in the fact that the building also houses his exhaustive collection of vintage pop culture artifacts and memorabilia, and you've got an unforgettable episode of 'Collector's Call.' Lisa has brought along show favorite Kate Martin to appraise Josh's collection, including such show-stopping treasures as wax-museum figures of Laverne & Shirley and Archie & Edith.
George Simonson isn't just a toy collector – he's a collector of collections. After decades of collecting thousands of toys, he's amassed an entire basement filled with shelves and shelves of complete toy lines from the 1980s. Now he's sharing them with Lisa and expert appraiser and toy shop owner, Jonathan Schoonveld. Together, they travel through his archive of 80s toy nostalgia, including his World Wrestling Federation action figure collection, the entire line from Thundercats, and the toy line from the iconic TV sensation, The A-Team. Jonathan appraises George's collection and proposes a trade – but of course, the problem with trading with a completionist is...what do you bring to the man who has everything? Also, legendary WWE wrestler and 2022 NWA World's Heavyweight Champion, Matt Cardona, sends a special message.
