Is Frank Fritz no longer a "picker" on the show ? I haven't watched many of last seasons episodes, but tonight there are season 22 shows that have Mike picking with anyone/ everyone except Frank. Just curious, thanks .

Googling around shows stories about his many year struggle with Crohn’s disease
and that he had taken time off to rest up from that, and it's complications and a couple of stories talk about the face that he's taken a break from the road for back surgery this season

Have been tell all reports of most of these style shows, Pickers, the Vegas Pawn lore, all PHONY, staged and set up for the public to take an interest so antique dealers and owners can still make money in a flat economic trend.

I'd heard a while back that he was not going to be on anymore.  No reason given.  I figured he was going to stay home and study the tattoos!!LOL


I like Naked and Afraid, the gold shows, and the forge.  I know there's a lot of behind the scenes stuff going on, but I don't really care.

In past episodes, I've watched Franks "body language" to what Mike buys/says to sellers and wondered how long "THIS" partnership was going to last Ouch . Mike seems to like to "float-his-own-boat"Wink

The wife informed me last night that Frank Fritz is  "no longer affiliated with "Antique Archeology" (pickers). There was a recent picture of Frank and he's dropped at  least 50 pounds Wink. Yes, another poster talked about his back issues that have gotten addressed Smile

to say 'staged', is an understatement.

If you knew Mike personally, it'd all make perfect sense.
Ten Amendments, Ten Commandments, and one Golden Rule solve most every problem. Citrus hand-cleaner with Pumice does the rest.
