Joe Maddalena meets with his team to discuss the next auction catalog and its looming deadline. Brian has leads on Jerry Lewis's costume from The Nutty Professor and the 9-foot-tall Lawgiver statue from Planet of the Apes. Joe and Brian try and convince collector Ed Gogin to consign his Lawgiver statue, which could be worth over $100,000. Next, Brian and Jon pay a visit to Bill Boyd, a collector who has Jerry Lewis's costume from The Nutty Professor. Bill is willing to consign the costume, but only when he feels the timing is right: six months from now, when the Nutty Professor musical is on Broadway. Back at the office, Brian gets some unexpected good news -- Joe Moe, the caretaker of the late sci-fi and horror icon Forrest J. Ackerman, has some items from Ackerman's collection that he might be willing to consign. Joe has his eye on a collection of life masks of horror icons like Bela Lugosi and Boris Karloff, but Joe Moe refuses to give them up. Instead, he consigns two very obscure items: a bound collection of German fantasy magazines and a piece of advertising art for an early book of horror stories. The magazines turn out to be a complete set of Der Orchideengarten, the first fantasy magazine ever published, and the art is by the extremely influential writer Robert W. Chambers. Later, Tracey comes through with items from Stargate SG-1. Joe and Tracey meet actor Christopher Judge at a production warehouse to look at the treasure trove of over 30 costumes and props from the show.
