I love the haters of Pickers.........
you guys are either jealous or have no clue how stuff gets to collectors.

When you go to swap meets - do you think that ALL those guys are local?
No - I see a lot of the same guys at all the shows I do - they do it every single weekend just like me - it is not just a hobby - it is their career.

I have been buying collections of stuff since I was 13 (comic books and baseball cards at that time) but I have always been turning stuff......

selling collectibles the entire time to get through college

I guess I am a worm huh?

whatever.......

and I guess I am a REALLY big worm since I purchased my first '35 from Mike Wolfe and turned it making some money on top of what they sold to me for.....
man - what a jerk I am - making money in a capitalist system that we live in.

People are too funny.......

and trust me - before they had the TV show they were just like me barely paying the mortgage - but they hustled just as much as me - working 14 hour days and non stop on the road........

so the people that dont like them - is it because they are having fun and enjoy what they are doing? Is that why you dont like them?

Just curious

And just so ya'll know - Mike produced the pilot of the TV show himself. People here on the east side of Iowa would roll their eyes when talking about the pilot he was shopping around for years.............
and then -

it gets picked up after being turned down by many different cable channels - overnight celebrity

and then - people on the HAMB start talking ..........

yes - Wolfe was in the process of getting a '32 when I talked to him at the Davenport Bike swap over labor day weekend - dont know if he got it yet or not - I know it was gonna cost him some cake though.

Supposedly they are gonna open up some shop down in Nashville area as well - guess that is where the $$$ is these days for the products they sell.

I wish them all the luck and hope the show lasts 25 years.

I just wish I had time to watch the show...............

American pickers are traditional or so I understand.
