American Pickers
First Aired: Mon, Jan 18, 2010
For those building up a collection of Americana over the past 50-plus years, Mike Wolfe and Frank Fritz drop in and offer cash for collections. The Midwestern pickers travel across America in a quest of rare artifacts and national treasures that they can buy from the collectors they visit and then sell in their antique shops or, in some cases, put in their personal collections. They normally have to dig through boxes or piles filled with items accumulated over the years, often located in barns or spare rooms in the owners’ homes. While the guys are willing to buy most anything old, their particular interests include items having to do with the automobile industry and classic trinkets.
