And this just in: “My name is Sarah and I work with the show American Pickers on the History Channel. I am reaching out because our show is planning on returning to Missouri this May! We’re looking for leads throughout the state, specifically interesting characters with interesting items and lots of them! The way we find people and collections for our show is through spreading the word far and wide so that people know we’re coming to town. So, we would love to spread the word about our upcoming trip in your area!

We understand that with the proliferation of COVID-19, we are all facing very uncertain times. We at American Pickers are taking the pandemic very seriously and will be following all guidelines and protocols for safe filming as outlined by each state. While we plan to be in Missouri in May, we will continue to re-schedule if conditions change for the worse. Regardless, we are excited to continue to reach the many collectors in the area to discuss their years of picking! If you feel it appropriate, we really hope you’re able to help us let the people in your backyards know!

Please keep in mind, we are looking for different, unusual, and unique items too – something we’ve never seen before and with an interesting story!

Feel free to share this with your community, with individuals, social media etc… Please make sure people who are interested reach out to us at our phone number 1-855-OLD-RUST (653-7878), or our email, which is AmericanPickers@cineflix.com. Please have them share their name, city and state, contact information, and a brief description of their collection.

We also have Facebook: @GOTA

Also, please note that the Pickers only pick private collections so no stores, malls, flea markets, museums, auctions, businesses or anything open to the public.”         JKSL
