Remember that Farrah Fawcett poster that adorned every teenage boys wall in the 70s? How about the Star Wars lunchbox? What about those old movie posters? They are all the stuff that the guys over at American Pickers are looking for!
The history channel is offering up a day long marathon today of the show featuring Mike and Phil travelling America’s backroads digging through piles of junk looking for their next big find. As the guys say, “We travel the backroads of America looking for rusty gold.”
Whether it’s a sign that reckons to days gone by or a cultural keepsake that captures a moment of time, the guys of American Pickers are on the hunt. Monday’s upcoming episode even features the guys getting the once-in-a-lifetime chance to go picking at William Shatner’s home! Think about all those Star Trek toys that hit the trashcan over the years… wonder what they would be worth today?
So mom’s if you were ever wondering about whether to toss or treasure those old toys just take a gander at today’s marathon of American Pickers and pack up anything that they guys might be hunting for tomorrow!
