Re: Dave Lang cans
Names mentioned in this thread (ALL of youse-cyber group hug) all put a smile on my face. For a multitude of reasons. Observational asides, hard core deep-dive variation stuff, where cans were found, all the little things that make this hobby fun and interesting. Thanks for posting. (see above) We c...

Re: NABA Convention Schaumburg
I may be biased,but it was a "top five" in my beer shows. The room to room was challenging (hotel layout took awhile to figure out) but beyond rewarding.The hotel location was centered amongst all the retail you'd ever want. A major craft beer bar within 20 steps from the front door. (like...

Re: Small finds when we were new collectors
We would constantly scour the small down ditches for aluminum cans to supplement our allowance money. Or,take returnable pop bottles up to Red Owl which would bring a dime apiece. The recycling guy at McNeilus stell would pur the trash bags into the bin loudly,and the magnetic bar would catch the &q...

Re: Morean Auction 11-27-2022
When Beercansplus started their auctions, I used to click in bids on cans that I knew would blow by what I had entered. Most times,it would be well before the actual live auction ever began. I'm not sure if it was fuled by beer or me thinking I was some sort of can expert, but I crossed the four-fig...

Re: Oh great, even MORE Grail cans...
Question to axe: Do you feel these prices are consistent on eBay also? I've mailed a few cans to Dan and the boys at beercansplus (shameless plug!) and they've exceeded what I would ask at a show by quite a bit. 25-50...heck,twice my price. Do you feel this is true for tabs and easier cans, or is it...

Re: A couple negs I heard about CANv....
My experience went against what you'd heard. The only auction preview totes I saw were on Dan M's table at the show. Good room to room, it tapered or went down significantly when there were events like micro-night and the RB Boys jam. An advanced collector from Minnesota was selling a portion of his...

Re: Don Lewinski (Specks169) update
Don is one of the "good guys" of the hobby. Great knowledge,generosity and sense of humor. It was an epic trade, with a lot of back and forth, but
the Hamm's Preferred I have on my shelf was HIS shelfer. He got it from a dollar box at one time.

There are two sizes,and this one is the large version. It has PLASTIC bricks and the twinkling stars alternate with the words Hamm's and beer goblets.
