Never been to cracker barrel with the intention of buying anything but breakfast and enjoying the antiques (wish they'd sell some of those) and the folks working there are friendly. Its nearly impossible to find a store not filled with junk made in China in our country anymore DB sad all the way around... but they do have good breakfasts there making me hungry thinking about it.....  how'd this go from the pickers to breakfast anyway?
Always looking for Frontier and Beeline items.

I was just at a cracker barrel a few weeks ago. I had no idea any of that stuff was real!! I just figured it all to be fake. I didn't even pay attention to it. Although there was one Chevy Service sign up high that I did a double take on. I was telling my mom, if that was real, that sign could be worth upwards of a couple grand. Hmmm.... Who knew!! I just assumed everything in there was fake.
P.S. the breakfast was awesome!!!
Now back to the pickers.

My buddy was on the pickers show and he said everything was staged. His kid emailed them with pics and thats how he got on the show. They only showed half of what they bought. They asked him if he knew of anyone else that had stuff they might sell and he gave my number. Got a call from their producers in New York who was nice but I told her I was not interested and she was alright with that. My buddy also told me that he had to read from a script board for the closing part of the show.
Some free styling, right.
Have gas all the time

Shame of it is I would bet mike and frank are truly good guys that have been pickers for years. I knew mike had pitched the show to tv for 3 year? Look on youtube for some of his real early stuff before he got to tv. Now that discovery has it... They have to put there spin on it.
Take the show for what it is... Entertainment tv... Real life stuff these guys do that discovery has screwed up for entertainment.
Looking for anything from Hoosier Pete, Platolene 500 and Red Bird.

I often wonder if Mike and frank and the Cracker Barrel buyers are in cahoots . It's amazing the quality items most Cracker Barrel stores are stocked with . I have always heard the Cracker Barrel franchise has pickers on the payroll scouting for goodies , anyone else ever heard that rumor? ...the better the stuff, the older the Cracker Barrel...the newer ones have lesser quality decor...I seriously doubt they have stacks of $2500 signs in a warehouse...more like $150 signs...
Looking for better Gulf items: signs, globes, cans and paper - especially porcelain Gulf flanges, and Gulf A-38 & A-62 ad glass...
