It's Alive! The Propstore Entertainment Memorabilia Live Auction - November 14-17
The Stuff Dreams Are Made Of
David and Ryan have a lively one for you that begins with Ryan ranting about the state of collectors and collecting (what else is new). Dave then distracts him with the auction at hand, and the guys highlight the great stuff you may have missed from days 2 and 3 of the auction before covering their patented "categories" discussion, highlighting the props that they wish they were sophisticated enough to buy, what they won't be buying, what they should be buying, and maybe what they will be buying come auction day. They of course also call out the things that their wives would love them for...

All These Props Will be Lost in Time, Like Tears in Rain
The Stuff Dreams Are Made Of
David and Ryan are joined by friend of the podcast and current reigning-champion guest host Rob Klein to discuss a long bandied-about topic on The Stuff Dreams Are Made Of: the great lost props.

Thinning the Collection
The Stuff Dreams Are Made Of
It's a guest-free episode of the Stuff Dreams Are Made Of as David and Ryan discuss what can be one of the most difficult topics for collectors: how to go about slimming down your collection. Collectors spend so much time agonizing about finding and winning this stuff that it can be hard to let go. To help, the guys discuss their individual philosophies on how to know when it's time to move stuff on, how to choose what you're moving on, and maybe how to prevent from ending up with too much stuff in the first place. This episode is brought to you by whisky and monkey radiator caps. SDAMO -...

Did David win the Biker Scout? Does Ryan need to build an addition on his house to display a flying 6-foot logo? Subscribe, download, and listen to find out!
