Do you have the kind of oddball collection of antiques and collectibles large enough, interesting and/or quirky enough to attract those two guys in the photo above? They are Mike Wolfe and Frank Fritz from the hit TV series American Pickers and they are coming to Michigan in August and they just might be coming to see you and your collection!
The American Pickers documentary series is well known for exploring the fascinating world of antique ‘picking’ on The History Channel. Mike and Frank are two of the most skilled pickers in the business, as they hunt for America’s most valuable antiques.
A word of caution, however — they only pick private collections. That means no stores, malls, flea markets, museums, auction houses, businesses or anything open to the public.
They are always excited to find sizable, unique collections and to learn the interesting stories behind them. The show will film in Michigan this August and Mike and Frank and their team are looking right now for people anywhere in Michigan with unique antique collections and compelling, interesting stories.
As they hit the back roads from coast to coast, Mike and Frank are on a mission to recycle and rescue forgotten relics. Along the way, the Pickers want to meet characters with remarkable and exceptional items. The pair hopes to give historically significant objects a new lease on life, while learning a thing or two about America’s past along the way.
Mike and Frank have seen a lot of rusty gold over the years and are always looking to discover something they’ve never seen before. They are ready to find extraordinary items and hear fascinating tales about them, so American Pickers is looking for leads and would love to explore your hidden treasure.
If you or someone you know has a large, private collection or accumulation of antiques that the Pickers can spend the better part of the day looking through, send them your name, phone number, location and description of the collection with photos to this email address: americanpickers@cineflix.com or call 855-OLD-RUST.
