    #7 - Linda Guillory: Video Games

    Loading...
    S4:E10

    You might say Linda Guillory is hooked on video games. Obsessed with them as a kid, Linda played and usually beat everyone she competed against. As an adult, she found and bought all of her childhood games and then added some more, for good measure. She currently holds two Guinness World Records for her voluminous vintage video game collection, and even became an engineer so she could figure out how they work. Linda's collection began with her Coleco Pac-Man, but she is no less passionate about Zelda and her entire set of Mattel handheld games. Linda's sister Cynthia joins us today and can attest to how competitive her sister is, while our expert, Patrick Scott Patterson, who's made a career out of video games will be forced to evaluate her entire collection, and then see if he can come up with a video game she doesn't already have so that they can possibly make a trade. Good luck with that, Scott.

Nancy Vega, the President of the Garfield Gathering, joins us as we explore this massive collection, and she's found one Garfield collectible that Cathy doesn't have to offer in an enticing trade.

    There may be no bigger Brady Bunch expert than Wendy Winans. Collecting for almost 50 years, Wendy has all the usual items you'd expect such as photos, a lunchbox and a full set of trading cards. But not many Brady Bunch collectors can lay claim to needlepoint made by Alice, or a blueprint of the Brady house which, as Wendy tells Lisa, is not exactly accurate. Wendy's friend Marilyn - who's heard about the Bradys since they were in high-school together - is here, along with our expert and personal appraiser Kate Martin, who admits she's a pretty big fan of the show herself. After Kate appraises Wendy's entire collection, she'll see if Wendy is up for a big Brady trade.
