There is a new show on The History Channel called "American Pickers". Ben Ford used the term "picker" a lot in his posts concerning flags he had aquired over the years. Pickers are guys (or gals) that go out and knock on doors, poke through trash, attend swap meets, flea markets, and garage sales looking for that one item that is "worth" something to someone. They then contact their pontential buyer and submit their find and it goes from there. This show is more about two fellows looking through junk trying to identify a collectible item. It's pretty interesting and would make for a really cool "job". So, I'd say that some serious flags and other WBTS items are located and obtained by these "pickers". With all due respect to Ben maybe there should be an "ahhhh" or an "I apologize, I didn't understand" to his posts concerning flags found by PICKERS. Just thought y'all might find this interesting.
