selling vintage beer can collection
« on: October 24, 2011, 11:16:17 am »
I am in Boulder CO and have approx. 100 very special vintage beer cans. Many are still full. Some are flat top, others are pull-tab. These have been in my family for 40 years, some are much older. If your interested OR if you have any advice where I can find a buyer for this collection, please email me. Thanks Mark     markpglenn@gmail.com

Good post, I have over 2000 cans from my late fathers beer can collecting days. Some cone tops, a lot of cans opened with church keys, pull tops of every denomination, all punched from the bottom. He paid up to 100 dollars per can for some of these. I just never got into it. I don't know what to do with them either.  Anyone interested....   Rodd157@msn.com

I would sell them one by one on ebay. Some of those cans are probably worth a lot.

I wish I could say the same about my 70's comic book collection.
