If the goal is to become rich off of an appearance on American Pickers, that unfortunately isn’t going to happen. Usually, people walk away with a few hundred bucks or maybe even a few thousand if they’re lucky, depending on what they have. But, that’s not always the case.

Mike and Frank made their way to Springfield, Massachusetts one day and were interested in a motorcycle collection owned by two brothers who owned a brewery.

Wanting to make some upgrades to their business instead of their motorcycles, they hoped to rake in enough cash so they could use the money for some new equipment.

Jay Herbert, co-owner of Paper City Brewery, told Mass Live that Mike and Frank didn’t want to see the collection before filming, saying they wanted it to be “like a discovery.” At the end of the day, the brothers walked away with a whopping $62,000, which they reinvested in the company to buy new beer-brewing tanks.
