Re: Local memorabilia collector

For the prices the guy was asking I would have bought lock, stock and barrel. Always makes me wonder how much of that is set up. None the less there was some really neat items shown on the show. Some pretty rare stuff. </div></div>
Rick, I saw that episode tonight and was blown away! I heard that Mike and Frank have a semi behind them and buy EVERYTHING that they can make a buck off of. There is NO WAY that they left any of that good stuff behind. The gas & oil signs, soda stuff, etc., is their bread and butter. They can't show how little they buy that stuff for because it looks bad. They show a few cool items for filming but most of the good stuff gets bought off camera.
