Correct, Playmate beer went for $13,680 in Dan's December 2021. Recent auctions have brought quite a bit less. Maybe that was the peak?

Re: Florida show

The hotel we have used for the Orlando show for the past 6+ years didn't want us back, which was very surprising as we were about the only business they ever seemed to have. We tried to find another hotel that was reasonably priced while having the meeting space we needed for a show but no dice. I h...

I have noticed a sharp decline in room to room trading at ConVention for the past few years, I think a lot has to do with hotel layouts, other events being scheduled, and the three day trade floor, However, probably the main reason is that we are getting too damn old to climb all the damn steps!

I'm guessing the prop master got ahold of a seventies collection. Only had one of each can so he just put out a random selection.

Re: So the real question is are there any Fox Hunt Ale test cans out there

I'm going to guess that they canned Iron City beer first since it was their biggest seller. When that didn't go well, they decided not to can Fox Hunt Ale. I recall hearing that there were problems with the can lining and it led to a lot of bad beer so Pittsburgh Brewing pulled it. That's why it's s...

Re: Just look at that stack of lithographed tin plate sheets of Rheingold Girl cans.....

So every uncut sheet of cans I've ever seen has been 5 across by 7 down for 35 total cans that could be cut out of the sheet. These sheets are clearly smaller so I'm wondering if they are cut down from the 5 by 7 sheets or did can companies made different sizes? Anyone know the answer?

Excellent work, thank you! However, I don't believe the 5 Trommers Malt beers you have in the malt beverage category belong there. All the others are near beers and I don't believe those were. Someone correct me if I'm mistaken.
