Come on down! It's Collector's Call. Collector’s Call is back for a brand-new season, and our first episode kicks things off with a grand prize-winning collection.

Bob Boden is a game show producer whose credits include Match Game, Press Your Luck and Funny You Should Ask. His love of the genre didn’t end with his career — it doubled in size with his massive collection of game show memorabilia.

His goal is to preserve game show history through his collection and eventually house it in the National Archives of Game Show History, which he co-founded. He rescued an entire era of game show memorabilia and history from being wiped out — no whammies here!

When Bob was young, his love of game shows began when he and his mom would go to Manhattan to get tickets to see Password. At the time, Bob was watching on a black-and-white TV, but when he saw it live and in color, he knew it was for him.

"Come on down!" and learn more about this iconic collection featuring more than 10,000 items from the game shows we know and love.

Bob Boden's résumé is crowded with the game shows he devoted his career to writing, producing, and co-creating - including such all-time favorites as Jeopardy!, Family Feud, Press Your Luck, The $25,000 Pyramid, and more. Today his home is equally crowded with artifacts and memorabilia from those shows and many others - and he's opened up his archives to share with Lisa Whelchel and Collector's Call. Among the treasures we'll showcase are a Price Is Right [Plinko] chip; the Family Feud face-off podium; the $5,000 wedge from Wheel of Fortune; Gene Rayburn's iconic skinny microphone from Match Game; the Joker's Wild slot-machine lever; and the giant "J" from the Jeopardy. set. Entertainment archivist and prop detective Rob Klein will be on hand to appraise the collection, then try to tempt Bob into trading away one of its treasures - with the help of special guest, game-show icon Marc Summers.
