Collector's Call

I enjoy meeting the collectors and hearing their stories. The proposed trades are an interesting part of the show and Lisa Whelchel makes for a very good host. I must roll my eyes however when the "expert" places values on the items. I have found that items similar to the ones featured on the show have sold online for 1/3 of the appraised amount. Also, many times the appraiser admits they haven't viewed the collectors entire collection yet they are still asked to place a value on the entire collection. Kinda ridiculous if you ask me.

To answer beachy's question. The smaller number is the estimate for that item; the larger number is a cumulative total.

This show is very entertaining to watch. I wish that it were an hour long instead of a half hour. It is interesting to see other people's collections of whatever they collect, whether it be advertising memorabilia, politics, movie, or sports. Lisa Whelchel of "The Facts of Life" is the hostess of the show and she seems to be as excited to view the collections as we, the viewers are. I hope the show succeeds, as it is a nice show. Reminds me of an old show on FX, way back in the early 1990's called "Personal FX: The Collectibles Show", which was also a nice show.

"Collector's Call" is one well done loved show for a historical and old school collector like me! As I grew up with comic books and action figure toys and with this series you see many of these things that I had! As many well known collectors have these items in a museum and their collection is valued at thousands of dollars and many movie props and costume collections, posters and other items can lead to millions! Hosted by ex "Facts of Life" star the pretty and beautiful Lisa Whelchel(she's even more attractive now!) this series will brightened your day with past historical child like memories of comic books, movies, and toy fun!

Very enjoyable Sunday night showI don't know what it is about the show... But I really enjoy watching it. Even if I'm not that interested in the specific collection featured that week. Lisa Whelchel does a great job as the host. Appropriate show for viewers of all ages.
