Cool and Collected

Collecting pop culture toys, comics, and collectibles collections

June 18, 2012 By 5 Comments

The League has spoken: Reality TV Treasure Hunters

League of Extraordinary BloggersIn last week’s League topic, I challenged you to see who could get retweeted or a Facebook mention from the show they wrote about, and at least two of us did! Here on Cool & Collected, I got a RT from Profiles in History, the Twitter account for Hollywood Treasure, and Jordan Hembrough the host of Toy Hunters, but Ashley at Life with Fandom wins after getting a RT by Mike Wolfe of American Pickers. And then there’s our fellow League member, Fong Sam, who actually works at Profiles in History and wrote about himself. 😉

So, which reality TV treasure hunting show would everyone want to spend a week with? The replies were all over the place, and here’s the breakdown…

American Pickers

  • Shezcrafti
  • Life with Fandom
  • Adamotomy
  • Team Hellions
  • Lair of the Dork Horde

Storage Wars

  • Geek It Till It Hurts
  • The Sexy Geek’s House of Swag

Pawn Stars

  • My Eidetic Memory

Hollywood Treasure

  • Haxbee
  • Cool & Collected

Antiques Roadshow

  • Green Plastic Squirtgun
  • The Man Who Stares at Toys

Comic Book Men

  • Geek-Life Balance

Bargain Hunt

  • Memories of Toymorrow

The Smell of Reeves and Mortimer 

  • That Figures

Great job everyone! As always, the responses were a fun, entertaining mix. I’ll post this week’s topic later today.

Around the League

Some other things that caught my eye this week on League member’s sites:

  • Check out Mike’s awesome recap of the Super Mega Show. (Batmobiles!)
  • I’m looking to sell an original Nightmare on Elm Street linen-backed poster.
  • Get your copy of the Profiles in History animation auction catalog over at Fong’s site.
  • Brother Midnight made a mega yard sale score of retro video games.
  • Reis kicked off “Top 5 Fridays” with his list of Cartoon Character Childhood Crushes.
  • Shezcrafti is fast becoming my new favorite site thanks to posts like the Top 10 Beach & Ocean Themed Retro Games.

Housekeeping

Remember, to stay a League member in good standing, you should add some links to your fellow League members in your post to help spread the love. I’ll post the new topic later today!

If you’re playing along at home and want to join the League, all you need is a love of pop culture and a blog. Come join the fun, and tell your friends!

      Fong that is incredibly awesome and generous of you. I know there are plenty of animation buffs in the league. Put my name in for one of those catalogs!
