Re: Totally Bummed Today

Another tactic to try to level the playing field is to message the seller and say, hey, you’re gonna get offers so I’d like the chance to beat any of them before you end the auction. Let them know you won’t make your top bid until late. That cuts out most people trying to game the system. Matt - st...

Buyer beware

Just a heads up... if you're one of those whom seek bottom open zips and like to bid, one on the old auction site. International Frankenmuth, bottom opened zip - Relided. It's very obvious, if you don't see why, please educate yourselves. Hint - study canning companies, and the style zip tops they u...

Re: -couple of Chicago tabs

Both of those cans are re-lidded, and obvious. First, "Dispose Properly" late generation ring pulls are obviously much later than those labels. Secondly, the Gold Brau soldered seam is a 50's era seam and much earlier than "tabs" from the Chicago brewery. Both labels did come in ...

Re: Remove touch up or not?

I see this sold for $109.50 plus shipping on ebay. I know little about tabs, even rare ones. Was this a reasonable price? A steal? What do you think? Not a sexy label, and similar to a much more common label. The "split label" Ale is one of the rarer and more difficult tabs to obtain on g...

Re: Sunshine flat variation

So this is my take... I have seen tabs like this in the same color 'variation'. As you are probably aware, at the can manufacturers, when printing (lithograph) the flat stock sheets, each color is a different 'plate' or lithographic pass. Occasionally certain graphics on the design will have overlay...

I am happy for everyone involved in the auction(sellers, buyers, Morean) but how is a Edelweiss Cherry Berry 59-6 a $1000.00 can? Am I missing something? Rod Flat? Chicago or South Bend?

Re: looking for Stroh's zip 1-face

Do all the 1 sided zips have toothed seams? I was never aware of that until Aho’s Photo and I’ve never seen any 1 sided label with that type of seam before. Yes, or all the dumpers I have seen do. That is a key to telling if someone has re-lidded the easily obtainable single faced flat top. I don't...

The 1 face zip is tougher than the 2 face flat in my opinion.

Looking for 12 oz Stroh's zip 1-face... know they are pretty tuff, but they have been found off and on by the Michigan dumpers. Anyone got an extra or a lead on one?

Re: Meister Brau Lite - Premium Beer Version

I think you are correct! I would have some serious competition for that can on eBay.
Would that be a $1000 fan tab? I think it would be at least that…..
More like $10,000.
