I believe Frank has Crohn's Disease, or some form of IBD. I have it. I have mild symptoms, but my doctor says they will only get worse with time. I lost 5 feet of intestine in 2020 due to a perforated bowel. IBD is a nasty family of diseases often referred to as the invisible disease. So if that's true, being on the road would be a horrible place when you gotta go, and gotta go immediately. But I do miss him on the show, too.

I enjoy watching the show even though all picks are pre-planned and pre-screened. It's like Pawn Stars where all "customers" and items are checked out ahead of time or Storage Wars where some of the lockers are "salted" with expensive items. They all have "producers" who have to make the show interesting.
But I too hope Frank can return to the show.

I watch the shows most times and Pawn Stars.
Just a few shows ago, maybe a few weeks i was watching and heard i think he had 'back surgery'. This was when he had a furniture looking hippy Jon or something.

Off topic, but does it ever surprise you guys that they never discover old baseball cards, or any other cards? If they have, I have not seen those episodes.
We have a CDN pickers show up here and the same goes with it. Never any cards but I did see a Dick Sisler (I think?) bat one time that neither guy bought due to the ask.

Some of the rooms/shops/collections they come across I can't help but think there must be something sports card related in some of those? Seems almost impossible to me they don't sometimes?

Yes, Frank has Crohns. As Tim said, it’s nasty. I had colon cancer and some of the same nastiness applies.
Yes, Pickers is planned and produced. I still don’t think it even comes close to the phoniness of Pawn Stars. I’m watching a 2010 episode, as we speak. Frank has recently said he and Mike were never really close. Listening to their banter in the van, I find that hard to believe. It sure always seemed genuine. Anyway, brother Robbie, Jersey Jon, Danielle or Mefford can’t hold a candle to Frank. I think this is the beginning of the end.

I read somewhere Frank had back surgery around the time he 'left' the show and was never asked back.
I always liked Frank - he seemed just a little 'sleazy' but not too much - almost in a comical way. The 'scandalous' online pics of him assisting/judging a wet tshirt contest early in the show's run endeared him to me as well...lol.

Watched a bunch of newer episodes recently, and I can't stand how Mike always makes a point of specifically saying, "I appreciate you!!" instead of "Thanks" or whatever. He's obviously trying to make it his catchphrase and it's really frickin' annoying. Sorta like that "Yuuup!" guy on the 'Storage Wars.'
