- 8/18 5:30PMPop Culture/Sports- Grant DePorter"As the owner of Chicago Sports Museum, Grant DePorter has taken his two passions, sports, and pop culture, and created a sports-lover-pop culture paradise. DePorter shows Lisa some of his one-of-a-kind sports collectibles like the basketball hoop where Michael Jordan hit his last shot to win his 6th NBA championship, He also has the cursed Cubs ball that some say, cost the Cubs the chance to go to the 2003 World Series. Grant subsequently destroyed that ball and proudly displays its carnage in his museum. Our expert today is Scott who deals and collects sports memorabilia himself. He'll check out Grant's museum, appraise Grant's championship-like collection and try making a trade with him. But Grant better stay on his toes. Scott's going for the jugular, offering our collector an item from his favorite movie, but in exchange, Scott wants one of Grant's museum pieces that'll be almost impossible to replace."
