The History Channel plans to film American Pickers in Arizona, Southern California, and Nevada in December. Producers are seeking private collectors with rare or unusual items to sell.
Why it matters
The casting call gives private collectors across the United States a chance to have their items and their stories featured on national television. The show's focus on collections with histories behind them reflects its interest in objects with cultural or historical significance.
Interested residents must submit their name, phone number, location, a description of their collection, and photographs of the items. The show does not consider collections held at antique stores, flea markets, malls, auction businesses, or museums.
