The boys then find a winning stash in a spectacular games room, scoring rare local mantiques. Back home, Scott plays a different kind of game with his bag of chipped tchotchkes, and the result bowls Sheldon over.

Nothing to Spare

The Pickers travel to Quebec and uncover hidden treasures including some vintage hockey seats signed by Guy Lafleur and a rare Smokey the Bear sign.

The Ultimate Man Cave

Scott and Sheldon have taken a major gamble by traveling to the UK, hoping to buy an iconic Wild West collection with a Canadian twist. But their dream of a major score becomes a nightmare when the seller is nowhere to be found. In order to help salvage the expensive trip, they head out on a cross-country UK picking adventure instead. Steeped in history and old world charm, Maunsel House mansion is jam-packed with antiques. And while the prices inside prove too rich for their blood, the guys scour the outbuildings where they uncover some exquisite rejects. Later, it’s full steam ahead at Trinity Marine where the warehouse is home to one of the biggest collections of nautical salvage in the world. Scott flips for a rare steamship sign, and the guys haggle over a genuine yellow submarine. Back in London, persistence finally pays off when the guys find themselves knee-deep in the century-old collection they’ve been desperately looking for.
