Mike Wolfe and Frank Fritz, the two professional pickers from American Pickers, return for season 6, episode 2, entitled "The Return of Hobo Jack." In this episode, they travel cross-country in search of unique and valuable items to add to their collection.

Their first stop is in Mississippi, where they meet a collector who has a vast collection of vintage signs and gas pumps. Mike and Frank are particularly interested in a rare Mobil Oil Pegasus sign, but the owner's asking price is steep. Negotiations ensue, but will Mike and Frank be willing to pay the collector's asking price for this prized item?

Their next stop takes them to Arkansas, where they visit a collector named Hobo Jack. Hobo Jack had been featured in a previous season, and Mike and Frank are eager to see what new treasures he has to offer. They pull up to his property and are immediately greeted by Hobo Jack's dog, who seems to remember them from their previous visit.

Once they make their way to Hobo Jack's front porch, they are greeted by Hobo Jack himself, who is as colorful as ever. He shows them around his property, which is filled with rusted and abandoned relics from the past. Mike and Frank are intrigued by a hand-painted sign that reads "Antiques," and they make an offer to buy it from Hobo Jack.

As they continue their search, they come across an old Texaco gas station that has been abandoned for decades. The roof is caving in, and weeds grow tall around the pumps. But Mike and Frank see potential in this forgotten piece of history and make a deal to take some of the items off of the owner's hands.

Their final stop takes them to a collector in Kentucky who has a massive collection of vintage toys. They find everything from rare Barbie dolls to classic board games. Mike and Frank are particularly impressed with an old Evel Knievel stunt cycle set, complete with the original packaging. But with such a large collection, will they be able to negotiate a fair price for everything they want?

Despite the challenges they face along the way, Mike and Frank end up with a truck full of one-of-a-kind items that they can't wait to add to their collection. The Return of Hobo Jack is an entertaining and engaging episode that showcases the thrill of the hunt and the value of unique and obscure items from the past.
