Re: Any British can experts here?

I would estimate about 10-15 dollars in the condition shown. At the time of the cans release there was a dealer in England who obtained a large number of these for collectors in the US.

Re: SPRING THAW was a winner!

I had a fantastic time and gots lots of stuff of varying grades. While many of the rarest cleanest and most expensive items seem to go to auction these days there are exceptions and many good cans still show up at shows. Many of the major dealers no longer bring items to sell or attend fewer shows. ...

Regardless of anything when you get receipts in the future keep them and when you spend money at a show keep records of it. (if no receipts perhaps keep records of the bank withdrawal/ATM .)

Re: Tiger flat top

It was made for a number of years from the 1960s until likely early 1970s. The dates for the cans are only estimates unless dates were written on the can or ads. Some cans were kept in flats until the early 70s- Long Life Tiger Bass etc.

What is the definition of a public venue? Is the trade floor (members only) public or private ? ( I would guess public because it is a workspace) What about the hotel hallways hospitality rooms etc.The lobbies and hallways to the tradefloor would presumably be public venues.
