As a child, some of Henry's favorite memories are sitting together with his family and watching their favorite TV shows from the 70's and 80's. As an adult, he decided it would be cool to own costumes from some of the shows he loved best. As it happens, Facts of Life is one of his favorites, so having Lisa Whelchel in his home and being able to show her something she may have worn on her very own TV show, was definitely a "pinch me" moment for our collector. A Laverne and Shirley skirt, a Peg Bundy top and a Carol Burnett dress are just a few of the iconic TV costumes Henry's managed to get his hands on. You might recognize our expert Stewart, as one of our collectors from last season and someone with his own impressive collection of TV costumes and props.

Marcia then tries to tempt Robyn into a three-for-one trade for a Sonny and Cher Show rarity that makes her long to sing, “I’ve Got You, Babe.”

Longtime friends and podcast co-hosts Matt Weinhold and Larry Strothe return to “Collector’s Call” … but this time, Larry’s riding shotgun for Matt’s collection, instead of vice-versa. And what a collection it is! Matt has filled his house chock-full of vintage toys and pop culture memorabilia, including Japanese robots, first-gen Aurora model kits (lovingly assembled and painted by Matt’s dad), and one of the oddest Star Trek toy sets ever made … plus, for the first (and almost certainly the last) time on our show, a super-rare vintage cracker! Joining Matt, Larry and Lisa is toy producer and expert Gavin Hignight, who puts a price tag on Matt’s collection, then pulls out all the stops for the trade – reducing Matt (and Larry) to gasps with an oversized action figure of iconic Japanese superhero Kamen Rider. But what Gavin wants in return puts Matt and Larry’s friendship on the line.
