Meet Herb, our May Picker of the month.  Most of you long time pickers know Herb, even if you weren’t personally acquainted with him we're sure you recognize him. Hailing from Pittsburgh’s North Hills, Herb can be seen far and wide, Estate sale, Auction or even Dumpster! Herb’s humble beginnings can be traced back to his youth when he would cut through the woods on the way to Arnies Pinball on Rt 8. Along the way he would PICK up anything and everything that intrigued him. Moving on from that he started picking at the Rt 8 flea market He claims he was the one selling playboy magazines to Paul, our Oct 2012 picker, but we think he is being tongue in cheek. Who knows!  Years later he started picking scrap metal, pots and pans, screen doors and aluminum for some extra cash. It didn’t take long to evolve to picking tools which he started selling for profit at the old Wildwood Flea market. Never without his flashlight, these days Herb’s favorite things to pick are woodworking and other specialty tools as well as cigarette lighters, slot cars and other small items. Today Herb is still hard at work picking but says it is getting consistently more difficult to find “GOOD STUFF”. As a result he takes more chances than he did in years past, trusting in his intuition. And Trust us, his intuition is serving him well. He’s a real blood hound, OR as Elvis would say, you ain't nutin but a houndog, pick'n all the time!
