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.

im guessing they know nothing about them and dont care...it's not their area of interest. They've purchased a sports collectible or 2 over the years...I kinda recall a cardboard advertising piece.

But...imagine the bb cards some of these people might have???? Houses untouched for generations!!!

I'm thinking they must, at least occasionally, come across them but maybe that's something they don't want to disclose as maybe, again, for some reason, it doesn't fit the theme of the show?

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?

They found a beat up version of the Dean brothers tobacco advertisement. That was the first time I ever saw it. It was appraised by the St Louis Cardinals HOF curator.

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.
