A question for the J-spout guru. In Dan's last auction he had a Blatz OD j-spout that he listed as a the "unlisted duller and paler green variation that differs from the shinier deeper green color one". Are you considering this a legitimate variation ? I had three different colors of the ...

Cool to see that arrow ale Do you know this particular can by chance? No ..

Do you know this particular can by chance?

whitealtesziptopguy wrote: ↑Wed Apr 10, 2024 1:24 am Marc, didn't you buy Lewandowski's Arrow Ale before?

Yes, but I sold it when the Hohenadel Bock popped up. The Croft Pilgrim Ale is my old can, so it's really nice to get that one back.

These auctions are funny. I lose, lose, lose, or don't even get to bid for 3, 4 or 5 auctions in a row, then I hit three times in the first 100 lots in the March auction.

Well Marc this can popped up again … yup same one that was at BG around 2010ish, and Bob Reid scooped it up … IMG_5608.jpeg Yes, and I didn't win it again! I was the underbidder in Rand's auction. I actually saw it before Bob at Blue/Grey and could have bought it, but I knew I'd sell it if I did be...

It will drop to #2 by a hair if the winner opts for the 3% discount.

I was far enough away that I didn't even get the joy of making somebody else pay more.

Enjoyed a day drinking day of watching and placed a couple bids but internet bidder got me .. Matt or Aoody or Keith know how he came about the golden rod ale ? I’m well aware of his BEER from his famous Conifer dump .. but the ALE ! I’m pretty sure a famous rusty mid western guy has an ALE. As wel...

And my downgrade surfaces again!

The first green can and a couple that are similar, plus a few of my other green favorites.

Here's the best of the dumpers I've seen. Mark brought it to Frankenmuth one winter, and it has great color.

From the Can Doctor's racetrack find.

$60,255 with buyer's premium added. That probably got the under bidder to shake his/her head. Would be a good idea to ship that trophy with extra bubble wrap in a heavy duty thick steel box and get a tracking number too. That's with 17% added - I expect it will drop to $58,710 when the winner pays.

$51,500 hammer - I thought it would go higher. Kinda feel like it should have gone higher. By comparison, it makes many other high climbers seem insane - a far superior can to others in this price strata. Until today, we haven't seen a can I thought was worth $30K sell in these auctions since Gene ...

I'll second the nomination of John Smoller. I had the pleasure of his company at a number of Blue/Grey shows in the '90's and '00's, and he's a prime example of what the RB has always been about.

I reported both emails as phishing. I have no idea how our email addresses were obtained.

It will be interesting to see what happens with the Perone. Nobody has been willing to push anything past $50K at auction thus far. I can't speak for the quarts which have passed $35K, but the 12 oz. cans in that range would have sold for half or less just a few years prior. So, since values have es...

Thanks, but I haven't done nearly enough to warrant consideration. I agree on Hark, though.

Marc

I can't find a write-up of the HOF criteria. Personally, I'd be inclined to vote first for those who have worked tirelessly to make the RB and/or shows more fun for others. Keith Kerschner is a no-brainer as far as I'm concerned.

Marc

Thinking I dug with over half of those people back in the day. There are a lot of people who will never get considered because many decades have passed and their achievements long forgotten to history and members who have long since passed. This point has been discussed every year since the most ob...

I won six cans from Dan's auctions between April and November and was very happy with the prices on all of them. I actually thought we were turning a corner and that prices on a lot of stuff were coming back to reality. The craziness returned in a big way for the past three auctions. Fortunately, I ...

Viking Draft is a flat, and a 2nd LP National Bohemian Bock cone turned up in a Chicago collection several years ago.

The best-known Class Beer is widely believed to have sold for over $50,000 quite a few years ago. If I recall correctly, it was originally for sale at $100,000. I've heard only rumors on the actual price. The sale price of the Krueger's Special Beer was given in the video at the link below. https://...

I've never even seen one - or a Finer Flaver Ale.

Nowadays to score displayable Coronados and Palomars you have to be diligent , Jealous of those pick ups Eric Thanks, Eric. Monarch Brewing Co. is a definite priority for me, and I'd been stuck at four since winning two Finer Flaver OI's in Dan's auction of Rand Lindsly's collection in 2018. The Pa...

A lady friend turned me on to this decades ago, and I stumbled across it on youtube recently

Another nice Kuebler upgrade, plus a couple Monarch Brewing Co. cans. It's been a good year considering how difficult the market has been in recent years.

It probably wasn't a great time to send out an email saying "renew online" if the website was inaccessible . . .

Great score, Bob! It's very unusual to see the woodgrain Waldorf in such nice condition, even in prominent collections.
