Last time, I went all the way back to Season 2. This time, I go all the way forward to Season 13.
I know jacobr1020 called it, but it's been about 8 months now, so sorry if you had something ready to post and I just sniped you.
(Also, I'm cannibalizing an old layout I had built for a 1993 recap. So, this will be a bit different from my ones recently.)

I would have probably given up, but Pamela's smiling, and guesses OVERNIGHT BAG for the ART COLLECTION of the 19th century (Illson's Paralse Girl with a Picture, Du Mont's Cavalier in the Tavern, and Fanning's Advance Across the Canal) I probably screwed up all three names, but I honestly don't care about art.
The art is worth $35,000! (Hey, the minimum nowadays!)
Pamela's FINAL TOTAL $73,150
Pat Chat: That might be the highest one day total ever on the show!
Someone look for me; I am pretty sure that is wrong, but I can't find anything proving it with the episodes we have so far.
