American Pickers LaSalle, IL

If I lived anywhere near LaSalle, I'd be heading to the recently closed Herrcke Hardware to see what other NOS sports stuff Mike and Frank left behind.

For those of us who missed the show, what kind of stuff did they find?

Daffy and Dizzy Dean kid’s uniform, new in box; Red Grange football, in box; Reach point of sale advertising; NOS balls, catchers mask, cleats, etc. They also walked right by a bat rack, loaded with bats. This place had all kinds of NOS hardware, toys, advertising and sporting goods. It had been in business since 1897.

I think I'm going to become a picker. I've had enough of this 9 to 5 BS.

I also really enjoyed the show last night. The Dizzy & Daffy uniform was very cool and I bet there was some really interesting advertising items buried in the piles! Also thoughts and prayers for Frank Fritz as I understand he has some real serious health issues. He sure looked frail and was not doing much heavy picking!!

He has Crohns disease. Hopefully it is nothing new or worse.

He’s had that foerever. Hopefully, he just lost weight of his own accord but, yeah, fat Frank looked more robust.

I survived rectal cancer 9 years back but had to make a stop in the ER, day after Christmas. I was diagnosed with “terminal ileitis,” which could be a precursor to Crohn’s. That’s all I f**king need!

That sucks...But on the bright side, I can think of worse diagnoses to receive that have the word terminal in them.

So sorry to hear that, Rob...

We have a couple friends with Crohn's. It kinda sucks, but has not seemed to alter their lifestyle in a significant way yet. They both seem to be able to keep it under control.

Seems like once you hit 55, everybody's got something! Hope you can work through it, and turns out to be not too big a deal.

Hi Rob,
I'm really sorry to hear that.
Good luck with getting this new diagnosis figured out.
If you haven't gone there yet, enlist the help of a specialist in order to keep things at bay as long as possible.

BTW, you and a few others on net54 are a constant ray of positive light.
I enjoy reading your sunny, enthusiastic posts.
You're one of my favorites and I totally see you, man!
