Re: Ever actively dislike a can?

This conversation seems to be pretty backwards looking, however if we're honest, I think most will agree that there are some pretty hideous cans being produced now by the smaller, newer, microbrew-ish type folk. My personal least favorite is probably Fistmas

Re: Hole Repairs, Does It Make a Can More or Less Desirable?

I come down on "the can is only original once" position, and is most valuable in that state......at least to me. The one exception I can think of, is when the can is so fragile, stabilizing it with an internal can or other hole type repairs is an improvement.

Two things: 1) Be careful with the "pack it tight" suggestions. Once, Viggie sent me a fairly fragile can, that in most circumstances would have survived the trip, however to make doubly sure it did, he wrapped it tightly with those air filled tubes/pillows you see in your amazon boxes oft...

Re: Frustrated and done with collecting!

dude! Even during my OI days, I always had fall back collections.....just find something else that tickles you! One of my bathrooms is pink, so I started a tiny collection of pink cans......also always had a fascination with "6 for $xx" cans with the price painted onto the can....very odd....

Welcome. I recommend a couple of things: First, read as many threads as you can stand. It is a great education. There are thousands of threads, so don't get overwhelmed.

That said, this has the feel of a bubble. Most of us are at or approaching 60 with very few younger guys coming along behind.

Yea.....not really.....what's proposed is a report on annual gross inflows and outflows with the exception of accounts below a low de minimis gross flow threshold of $600 or fair market value of $600. So, no, not every $600 transaction is being proposed to be tracked.....but gross annual totals.

These cans are being used to make cars.....here are some other pictures at further steps down the production line. Any chance these are candidates for a rubout? Would be cool to get one of these cars and see if you can reveal the can underneath! :-)
