Mike Wolfe and wife, Jodi Faeth were dating many years before they tied the knot in 2012. She is completely supportive of his career. However, she knew right away, he was addicted to picking. In fact, Jodi Faeth told The New York Times, “When I met him, he used to disguise picks as dates. He’d say, ‘We’re going to Wisconsin to a bed-and-breakfast.

American Pickers’ Biggest Flip

Back in 2010, Wolfe and Fritz went to Forks Township in Pennsylvania to see an amusement park. Sadly, this park never recovered from 2004’s Storm Ivan. Yet, the park’s owner still had all of the parks’ stuff. As Mike and Frank looked through the park’s items, they came across old slideshow banners. Amazingly, they only paid $700 for them. Turns out, one banner alone was worth a whopping $5,000 according to the appraiser!
