Re: Looking for these Primo pull tabs (and a couple Schlitz Lights)

Wow! I got to say that is a great collection you have assembled there. Well done. Being a Hawaii guy, that's the sort of thing I can only dream about assembling at my place. Congrats.

Re: An untapped resource

I think I read somewhere along the way that magnet fishing is illegal in Europe (because they are fearful that you will accidentally blow yourself up with whatever you might retrieve from under the water left over from the war)????

This is a sad story for sure. I really find this upsetting on a personal level as I've been watching this play out. As an aside. I keep thinking about Bill Christenson. Somehow, someway a phenomenal collection is said to have just disappeared into thin air. You got to wonder about these things. On t...

Re: UK conetops

With regard to the UK cones ... bad news is that there about ten that are attainable, and then after that pretty much impossible. You just never, never see them. Even the guys with big bucks to throw around have abandoned the pursuit of the UK cones, as there just aren't any to get. The general thou...

Re: Milwaukee Club New York Mandatory

These are certainly scarcer than the regular cans. But with time you can find them. I think I had them all back when I was still collecting high pros, but I know it took some time to find them. Matt

Schlitz Cone Sleeper?

I realized recently that this can may be a bit of a sleeper - a lot tougher than I had realized earlier. It is 183/14 which is a Schlitz Lager with a concave bottom (this one happens to be "Contains 4 and 3/4%". Anyway, I realized when I came across this one that my shelf can was a pretty ...

Re: U-permits

Jim Hall is so correct about this. U-Permits are huge for some cones variations. For example, check out this variation on my Dawson's Master Ale playing card cones - just finally got the second one from the Dave Reid auction.

Can 70s Tabs Make A Come Back?

Just a thought. When I sold my house a few years ago, I had to pull out the attic full of 70s tabs that had been sitting up there for 30 years. Other than the obvious ones that I could sell, I offered to give away the rest - easily more than 1,000 cans, but there were no takers, so they all went in ...

Re: Frustrated and done with collecting!

Ed is right about this. Everybody invariably "hits the wall" on what they collect, and which point it is best to think of something new to add to your collection so you have something to have fun with other than dealing with "the wall". It happens to everyone. Matt

On the solid colored C&C cones, I've needed just one forever to complete the set. Finally got it. For whatever reason, the C&C 9 Oz Ginger Ale is like impossible to find. Uncle Roy has had one for years, but I just never could find one. Now it sits proudly with its brothers. The future is up...

Re: Another Does It Really Exist - Tornbergs

I will bet you that IF it exists, it was not a production can, and that the can we see in Dan's old sales was a rolled can. Just my hunch. Doesn't make sense that they would have had all their other cans with alcohol statements, and then one loner without it.

I've had two or three over the years in similar shape to the one in the photos. My guess is form the same find. They both went for something like $400 or so I think. I would have thought it would be more, but that's what it was. Matt
