How do you know there's a reserve if the auction listing/description doesn't say there's a reserve?
I guess we find out after the auction ends . . .

They do it the third Sunday of each month if my memory serves correct. I don't know how other auctions do but there are at least a few great deals on each one of their auctions. No cheating going on here. Many cans surprise me with reasonable to below market prices. The Good Guys auctions have to b...

I think no dumpers are known, which supports the never-filled theory (especially for such a common label).

Someone provided the then-current BCCA, NABA and ABA rosters to Morphy's in 2012 for marketing purposes. The sender told me this directly and scoffed at the notion that it was in any way inappropriate.

Ed, Same page I got. not the right one. I too was looking for old Brewery info & both these sites had it. now they are both gone. Sadly, Gary Bauers site may never return since he passed away many years ago. He was a Friendly Great guy. LEON. Leon, try this WAYBACK MACHINE link: https://web.arc...

Not much LITE stuff -- unless you go to Don H's house!

Pennsylvania, based on the mandatory language. Theories and suspicions aside, I cannot count it as an Illinois can if it doesn't say so.

I see they're donating 5% of the auction sale proceeds to The Rusty Bunch. They really are Good Guys!

I'm sorry. Excuse my ignorance here. How is a can tied to a state with regards to this topic? Does it have to be manufactured in that state? Does it have to be filled in that state? Does it have to be sold in that state? Does it just have to be found or dumped in that state? Curious mind...just wan...

Last photo, above . . .

Presumably, he's basing the buy-it-now price on what some other elite level cans have reportedly sold for (Krueger Special, Class, Gibbons Bock, etc.). Wouldn't this short run OD can rightfully belong in the same, holy grail price category?

Did a quick google search for "volunteer(s) + free entry/admission" and got a ton of hits . . . Here's just a few: www.irdc-racing.com › volunteers-needed Every weekend all over America road course driving events would not happen ... $25 Amazon Gift cards per full day of volunteering; $75 ...

The only commonality between the BCCA and the Reno balloon fest is that they're both full of hot air . . .

Have to agree with Ed. Charging show volunteers exemplifies the short-sighted, member unfriendly thinking that the BCCA is famous for. The club survives in spite of itself due only to the commitment of individual collectors.

Can't wait for the next Good Guys Auction! Moved fast, terrific selection and really fair prices on most items.

Embossed Drewry's (Lot 84)??? I had to see it to believe it . . .

And here is the discussion from 2012 regarding the whereabouts of the Gibbons Bock after the Grenke auction. http://www.therustybunch.com/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?f=1&t=24271&hilit=Grenke+auction rlfplf is Farrell commenting in the thread. I think only the BCP guys knew who Gene was at that poi...

No. Farrell bought several Grenke Auction cans and was actively collecting for some time after that.

Nothing substantiated, but heard that Dan M. and a "group of investors" bought Gene's 12oz flat tops and cones (minus the cans Gene's keeping and the cans he already sold). Gene's tab tops, test cans and half-quarts were acquired by beercansplus. While the "investors" may siphon ...

Code words intended to minimize/explain away the flaw as "normal" and inconsequential. Unless they were there, the seller has no clue as to how the ding/dent actually occurred.

I made a comment in the "To Re-Lid or not" thread....that anything you do to a can takes it further from the original and in my opinion reduces it's value....and you'll never ever be able to go back. That was mostly said about new lids, but it applies to touch up, acids, waxes, etc etc et...

Leaving can wraps on cans long-term can be harmful (I was told they actually "capture" or generate moisture and have seen older, damaged collections that support this theory).

WHEN?

I have an on-grade Green 12oz. Lucky. I am certain that it is either intentionally green, or it missed a color that was meant to be printed over the green to make another color during the printing process. I had/sold a Gr. 1+ Green 12oz. Lucky that was clearly an indoor can (bottom opened, waxed an...

FOUND!

Story I heard was that it was taken right off the canning line by a senior manager (of either Miller Brewing Co. or the can company), who displayed the can in his office for many years. It was then passed down to his heirs, one of whom eventually sold the can to the most recent owner/seller some tim...

Don't take this the wrong way but....... Is it rare ? yes. Is it cool ? very ! I'm not taking anything away from this can. If you have the means, great ! If I personal spent 5k on one can without having a 7 figure annual income, well lets just say I'd be splitting my humble tab collection with my w...

Facebook Don (formerly known as "Meister Brau Don") would be a good person to speak with regarding MB set cans. Also some other very knowledgeable individuals named in this post. Don't forget the Peter Hand Reserve cans (2 sets) and Chicago Drewry's set cans, as well. I will call you "...

Flattop....need about 9 Chicago flats and one cone. Very soon I will be left with the impossible ones and then start on the series cans. This should carry me into my old age and they are attainable but up to now I thought they were to expensive given the amount out there. Some Chicago set cans are ...
