Scott Ibarra is a jack of two trades, he is the owner not only of sports junkies, buying and selling Chicago related sports memorabilia, but also of autograph junkies, collecting and dealing in movie props and costumes, most of them, of course, autographed. Among his prized cinematic treasures is a screen used ring post from Rocky, signed by Sylvester Stallone, and a Black Series Infinity Gauntlet with an inscription from Robert Downey Jr. He also shows Lisa props and costumes with signatures from Tom Cruise, Val Kilmer, Robert De Niro, Al Pacino, and Jeremy Bullock, among others.

Tori Calamito is a social media content creator who may be the Internet's leading authority on The Wizard of Oz. And in addition to podcasting about all things Oz on Facebook, Tik Tok and Instagram, she's assembled a collection of Oz memorabilia that spans more than a century, from the first edition of the original Oz book, to stage-worn costumes from the "Wicked" musical, and beyond. Lisa's invited pop-culture expert and "Collector's Call" favorite John Ragusa to appraise Tori's entire collection, including such show-stopping pieces as autographs of the stars of the classic 1939 movie, a limited-edition "Wicked" themed makeup kit from Ariana Grande's cosmetics company, and a vintage Tin Man squeeze-toy so rare that, in John's words, it "barely exists." John also tries to tempt Tori into making a trade, offering a beloved item from her childhood in exchange for a much more modern Oz artifact. Find out if the dream that he dares to dream really does come true, or whether it turns out to be a horse of a different color.
