They say to do what you love - and Shawn Peterson loves PEZ. After years of collecting rare dispensers, candies, and other company artifacts, Shawn successfully pitched a PEZ Visitor Center at the company's historic and still-functioning factory, where he now manages and shares his collection with 80,000 visitors a year. He also shares his collection with Collector's Call, taking Lisa, and PEZ Price Guide expert and appraiser, John LaSpina, on a ride through PEZ history, including: a 1940s PEZ Girl uniform, a rare Colonel Sanders prototype, and a giant edible candy tablet that you can only acquire if you're invited to the headquarters factory in Germany. John appraises Shawn's collection and attempts a trade - offering an ultra-rare set and display featured in a Montgomery Ward catalogue in exchange for a dispenser from the 1984 Winter Olympics. Also - Shawn shows Lisa around the PEZ factory and takes her behind-the-scenes of the candy-making process.

Ashley Sero grew up in a doll house. Literally, surrounded by the vast number her mother Patty had collected over several years. As Ashley - and her love for the collection -- grew, she wanted to start one of her own. She decided to begin with Skipper, Barbie's younger sister. More than two decades later, Ashley has a wide-ranging doll collection numbering in the hundreds, and she walks Lisa through it all. As she expanded the scope of her prized possessions, Ashley decided to share her passion for and knowledge of doll collecting with others, launching her own YouTube channel, Confessions of a Doll Collector's Daughter, which has attracted scores of avid fellow collectors. Ashley takes personal property appraiser and fellow doll aficionado Kate Martin through some of her more unique items, including extremely rare Japanese Skipper dolls. Kate appraises Ashley's collection, before offering a tempting trade - a beautifully preserved iconic figure from Switzerland for one of Ashley's long treasured, and with good reason, staple items.

As a child growing up in foster care, Doogie Sandtiger never learned to tie his shoes. Today, he is the Guinness World Record holder for most Crocs-- a goal he put into motion years ago and proudly achieved by showing Lisa his more than 3500 pairs. This Croc-star's eye-popping collection includes high end collaborations with famous artists, to a finger-lickin'-good collab with everyone's favorite chicken franchise. There's even a special pair he wore to be in his brother's wedding. Today, our Croc-solid toy expert, John Ragusa, steps into his role of appraiser and expert, by putting a dollar amount to Doogie's collection and then, by offering a Crocs trade. John hopes his trade item--a combination between a toy and Croc, will convince Doogie to swap some of his Crocs, while our collector hopes he won't "Croc" under the pressure.

When a teenage Joe Salg heard Cyndi Lauper's single "Time After Time," he was hooked. She represented what he had been seeking as a young gay man: Outside acceptance of one's true colors, whatever they might be. He began buying albums and any other memorabilia he could find. Then he went on a quest: to gain bragging rights to the most unique items ever related to the pop icon. Years later, he had so many prized possessions that friends and family urged him to open a museum dedicated to the singer. Today, he is the proud owner of The Cyndi Lauper Museum, which is acknowledged and admired by the music legend herself. Joe walks Lisa through some of the most iconic items, including the first microphone Cyndi ever used as an emerging star and everything from a quirky corset used for a famed photo shoot to a glamorous dress worn to the 50th anniversary of the Grammys. Later, expert Liam McEwan will propose a trade: one of his most treasured items, personally signed by the singer, for Joe's rare relic of '80s pop culture itself.

Former police officer Justin Cary gave up life as a cop to become a full-time vintage toy collector and dealer and has never looked back. Justin takes us on a tour of his amazing collection, showcasing such highly-sought rarities as a MacGyver action figure available only in Brazil, a professionally graded prototype of G.I. Joe's Croc Master, and - the cornerstone of his collection - a 1980s Masters of the Universe store-display diorama that is possibly the only one of its kind. On hand to appraise Justin's collection is toy store owner John Davis, who's also brought along a very tempting trade item, one of the toy community's holy grails: an action-figure of Dick Tracy's The Blank. Justin's definitely interested - but when he hears what John wants in return, his decision becomes a dilemma.

Claire Peterson is not your typical Transformers collector - most are male. But as the daughter of an engineer, she loved working with her hands, and she became enamored with Transformers when she was still a child. That was in the early 1990's, during what is called the Generation 2, or G2, Transformers era. Generation one started in the 1980s. Now, Claire collects everything from G one and G two to the B Wars, the Beast machines, and beyond. Claire also buys and sells Transformers at local and regional conventions as well as online. She has about 1,100 on display and a little more than 2000 in storage, each of them unique. Out of all the cartoon, TV shows, and movies that have come out of the franchise, the 1986 animated film "Transformers" is one of her favorites. She says she is devastated, though, that she still does not have the full Devastator combiner set. She and our expert, Ben Talmage, had already crossed paths, having met at a local Michigan toy convention.
