American Pickers season ratings have been revealed after Mike Wolf dropped a whopping $155,000 on a rare slot machine from the 1800s. Mike, 60, Robbie Wolf, John Jersey C, and Daniel Colby wrapped up the final episode of season 26 on January 15 on the Big Mac. Mike traveled solo to a four-generation Homestead in Illinois, where he uncovered and paid for various rare antiques. One of the items was a slot machine from the 1800s, so rare only four were made. Mike called the piece a “unicorn,” and he sent photos to an expert to find out its value.

Mike offered $14,000 for the slot machine, which he planned to restore and then list for $20,000. The seller came back with $155,000, and Mike gladly accepted.

The US Sun can exclusively reveal the January 15 episode was the second highest-rated of the season with 78,000 viewers. The highest-rated episode reached 760,000 viewers on December 18, 2024.

On the January 8th episode of American Pickers, 629,000 viewers watched. American Pickers’ ratings continue to struggle despite Mike Wolf’s brother Robbie dropping $113,000 on a rare vintage sign. This was slightly up from the week prior on January 1, as 595,000 people tuned in.

The December 11 episode had 676,000 viewers, while the December 4th episode had 584,000.

Watch for the November 27th episode: 623,000 viewers tuned in. The November 20, 2024 episode “Surfs Signs Savage” brought in 521,000 viewers, while the November 13 episode “Pick and Wall to Wall” had 582,000 fans watch.

The ratings for season 26 are low compared to last season. One of the highest-rated episodes for season 25 had 966,000 viewers on February 28, 2024. Numbers reached the millions when former host Frank Fritz, who passed away on September 30, 2024, was on the show. Frank last appeared on American Pickers in March 2020.

Fans have been calling for the show’s cancellation during season 26:
“This show needs to go, cancel this show, it’s a husk of what it was,” one fan wrote.
Another said, “It was never good, this show ruined the buying & selling market.”
A third asked, “Will American Pickers continue?”

The US Sun reported in May 2024 that the series has more seasons left in its contract. They’re filming for season 26 and have signed on for three more years. The show’s insiders claimed at the time the show also revealed they will resume filming in February 2025.

Do you have a unique collection? The pickers are heading to South Carolina and North Carolina this February, ready to dig through rare, unique, and historically rich treasures, a Facebook post read on the show’s official page. They’re searching for private collections filled with fascinating items and captivating stories.

“If you or someone you know has a hidden gem waiting to be discovered, let us know. We may just find our next big pick.”
