    My collection will be on TV on the show called collector's call. The station is MeTV. Me and Roger Sharp will be on the show. April 23rd 5:30 p.m. Central Time. look up on the Internet the show collectors call to find the station nearest you. They will feature 90 of my pinball machines at my house and at the airplane hangar it should be a lot of fun. Lots of em and classic Machines from 1960 to 1982

    Thats awesome man. What wouldve been your reaction in about 1985 if I told you Blair Werner was going to come over and play pinball with you at your house? We never know what life holds .. Cant wait to see your episode!

    That is fantastic. My wife and I always watch Collector's Call.

    Heads Up everyone...the episode on MeTV is just about to start!

    #12 11 months ago

    Just caught this, cool!

    #13 11 months ago

    Just watched show. Happened to be flipping through channels at right time. Would of loved to see more.

    #14 11 months ago

    Hey OP! I really enjoyed the episode. Can you give us any interesting behind-the-scenes info? How did you end up on this show? Did they contact you out of the blue? Did you have any idea about what Roger was interested in and/or what he would offer you? Anything else that was memorable during the shoot?

    #15 11 months ago

    Awesome collection Op

    Great show! Reminds me that sooner or later I gotta get off my lazy butt and install the new playfield I bought for my Fast Draw.

    Yeah, spill the beans! I'd love to know all the behind the scenes details of the show. How long did it take to shoot? How long ago was the episode taped? What was taped that got cut out? Is Lisa as sweet as she seems in real life?

    #18 10 months ago

    I just watched your show. Super clean games! Thanks for sharing your awesome collection.

    I'm hoping a vod of this will be available?

    I saw it and was shocked at Roger Sharpe's valuation of your Star Trek (Bally) at $10k. Why so much ?

    I forget, but I think Fast Draw was valued high also.

    They all were. A "Slick Chick" with a painted cabinet? What was it, $5K? C'mon!
    And $5K for a jacket? Even if Elvis wore it every New Year's Eve it wouldn't be worth that much!

    Nation wide price pumping!

    Yeah it's TV, appraisals are always sky high on Collectors Call, Pawn Stars, etc etc., I was fully expecting it. Goes with the territory. Still a fun show and my fave episode so far for sure. They had a collector once who had two or three machines but it wasn't the focus of his collection of memorabilia.

    John used to have a great YouTube channel, I learned so much from him. Here is a link to one of his videos. Just click on his channel to see more.

    If, in 25 or 50 years from now, when it may be a $5k pin, they'll watch that show and think there's been no appreciation in value that whole time.
