Just saw this. Complete repaint bid up to $128, and might still go higher!

Is that a super tough can or variation? Someone took a lot of time to do that...

NO, I've seen repaints go higher but on much rarer cans. LEON.

With that much repaint, the artist could make any variation he wanted. It might even be a only one known variation.
Focus: Cones and flats from Michigan, South Bend, and Fort Wayne. Foreign cans only if I bought them myself in the country of origin.

that is insane!
It could be any can under all that paint.
They should move the decimal point over two places, and then the price would be appropriate ($1.28).

Here is a picture of the Billings Tap Beer cone top so we will be able to see it long after this auction disappears from ebay.

Give me an honest dumper any day! I traded for this one at Canvention in Omaha. Notwithstanding the attic find, this is still a very tough can. What surprises me is the number of bids for a repaint.

:puke: :puke: I Don't even think it's a good repaint, it's got that rough textured look to it instead of smooth, probably feels like 80 grit sandpaper.
