Quarts Qwarts Qwartz!!
Been following this seller's E-Bay listings for about a week now. Last week he sold an Associated Brand Lager for $2,500+. Now he's listed a bunch of amazing quarts. He just keeps listing these incredible unrolled sheets. All these will easily top $1,000 I'd guess. The Old Missouri is so cool. Some rare stuff and condition is wow. When these sell, he'll have sold $12,000 to $15,000 or more in unrolled sheets in a weeks time. E-Bay's gotta love this guy.

Re: Quarts Qwarts Qwartz!!
There is something not right with these auctions.....I will explain.
About 2 months ago most of the dealers got a lead from a fellow in New Jersey, in this lead was a Blackhawk quart, Stegmaier quart, fox Deluxe quart and so on. I believe Beercanman scored the lead.
I questioned the owner of the flat sheets and where he found them? He told me they came from a friend of his who passed in 9/11 and that he knew nothing of the value of these flat sheets.
Jump ahead 2 months... Now a bunch more sheets show up on eBay, some good stuff..Associated, Ballantine triple crown you get the idea. The owner of these sheets is also From New Jersey....still with me?
Now on Wednesday Aug 20th I get a call from the same guy who had the Blackhawk quart, Ballantine triple crown and he tells me "hey I found more sheets" I responded great! What are they? Associated, Ballantine triple crown and so on. I respond by saying....."these cans were just on eBay, why would you buy them if you know nothing about beer cans?
My guess is he is one in the same, he bid his own cans up, and was stuck being the winner and now trying to sell them to the dealers. Who would spend $2500.00 on a flat sheet as a gamble to try and turn it for a profit if you know nothing about the hobby?

Re: Quarts Qwarts Qwartz!!
No matter whether or not the sale of the Associated sheet actually happened, what is interesting to me is that it was only bid up to $2,500.00.
Doesn't that seem low for a can that is archived at Breweriana.com for $17,000.00? I would think that the chance to own a clean albeit rolled
example would still land well north of $2,500.00. No?
Does this say anything about the realities of the can market?

Re: Quarts Qwarts Qwartz!!
Wouldn't the guy be stuck paying 10% fees to E-Bay on top of it all if he won his own auctions? At those prices, he's looking at $1,000++ in sellers fees. Not the smartest is he?!

Re: Quarts Qwarts Qwartz!!
Steve,
You are correct on the prices of cans taking a dive. It's a buyers market, especially cone tops. I have noticed a big turn in the market about two months ago. Clean flats are doing o.k, as are tougher tabs and zips. O.I cans have held up the best so far, and cones have been the hardest hit. IMO.

Re: Quarts Qwarts Qwartz!!
The less transparent Ebay tries to make itself in the name of 'buyer protection', the easier it is for buyers and sellers to deceive one another. Even if deception isn't intended, buyers have become so paranoid that it's the first thing that comes to mind when really rare stuff shows up from someone we don't know. Too good to be true; guilty until proven innocent. It is definitely one of several reasons I don't bid or sell on Ebay anymore. Unfortunately, it's become nearly impossible to track suspicious behavior, let alone prove it. I think this paranoia has impacted high-end ebay sales (within our own hobby at least) and will likely keep the prices down on some of these great quart sheets too, which may partially explain the perceived low price on the Associated. It'll definitely be interesting to consider what the 5 quarts sell for versus what they might sell for if offered by a known, reputable collector or dealer. Not that I personally believe any can is actually worth $17000, but If $2500 vs. $17000 is any indication, they could be a relative bargain.

Re: Quarts Qwarts Qwartz!!
So why the dive in prices/values/sales? Is it one or two major players in the cone market suddenly not purchasing? Can one or two individuals make that much of an impact? Or is it something else? Anyone else seeing this major decline?

Re: Quarts Qwarts Qwartz!!
Actually, that is a really good question. We are seeing increase attendance at our shows and more collectors are coming out of the woodwork with the collector pages on Facebook. However, I am going to assume this increased interest isn't affecting the high end area of collecting, but rather, the lower and middle range of collecting. I do think that too many cans, which are really not that rare, are given too high of prices which negatively affects the prices of cans in general. From my own experience, I don't see very many tough dumpers for sale anymore at decent prices. Most of what I see are clean cans at 2 to 3 times book value or common dumpers that I would put in my 50 cent box at Blue-Gray.stringsx24now wrote:So why the dive in prices/values/sales?

Re: Quarts Qwarts Qwartz!!
He just listed three more qwarts! They just keep coming...all rare. East coast, west coast, midwest - all different breweries and regions. How does a guy get all these rare sheets? Is Continental Can Co. the thing they all have in common? A reputable dealer wouldn't sell them on E-Bay - 10% fees plus E-Bay reports these amounts directly to the IRS. A serious collector wouldn't sell them at all (unless his wife made him). Strange....but love seeing these cans!

This is a case of a blind hog finding an acorn. Some very nice cans will be in circulation for collectors and in the end, that is a great thing.

Re: Quarts Qwarts Qwartz!!
Dan is pretty much right on with his comments here. Yes, I got the "first" batch of flat sheets and Matt Menke is my marketing department for them. Quarts, flats, cones, zips, etc. Seller told us the same thing about the friend who died in the 9/11 terrorism.About 2 months ago most of the dealers got a lead from a fellow in New Jersey, in this lead was a Blackhawk quart, Stegmaier quart, fox Deluxe quart and so on. I believe Beercanman scored the lead.
I questioned the owner of the flat sheets and where he found them? He told me they came from a friend of his who passed in 9/11 and that he knew nothing of the value of these flat sheets.
Jump ahead 2 months... Now a bunch more sheets show up on eBay, some good stuff..Associated, Ballantine triple crown you get the idea. The owner of these sheets is also From New Jersey....still with me?
Now on Wednesday Aug 20th I get a call from the same guy who had the Blackhawk quart, Ballantine triple crown and he tells me "hey I found more sheets" I responded great! What are they? Associated, Ballantine triple crown and so on. I respond by saying....."these cans were just on eBay, why would you buy them if you know nothing about beer cans?
As for the sheets he's got listed now, I don't get it either. Scratching my head trying to figure this one out!

Re: Quarts Qwarts Qwartz!!
Thanks for the input, Dan and others. OK, so I'm still curious - all you guys who are dealers of cans to a lesser or greater extent, who were all aware of this find, none of you felt that an A1+ Associated cone flat sheet was worth even a $3,000.00 bid? Even as an investment? There are no potential buyers for a rolled example of that can? Even down the road? Or do you just not wish to enter the fray on ebay?
To me, the hesitation on the buying side of the deal is no less mysterious than the seller's actions. Isn't the really nice original Associated kind of unique in top condition? I've seen a grade one-ish, I believe, in addition to the real nice one, and I could be off base here, but thought it to be in the 8k range?

Re: Quarts Qwarts Qwartz!!
Steve,
The questions I ask myself are......
Does he have more then one? Five? How many? The seller won't answer this question.
Who are my buyers? I had the Stark can and traded it to a good friend, Gene has one, Steve Meringer is looking for the can, but he bid on it, john Critchfield needs a upgrade but he also bid on it.
How many guys are willing to pay big money for a rolled can?
Cone tops are slowly becoming less desireable. At least what I have been noticing.
Do I think that can is worth more then $2500.00? Yes, but I couldn't think of a buyer. It is only worth what someone is willing to pay.
What is killing me now is Morean keeps the prices on his web site, some of these prices were from 10 years ago. So now I get a contractor who finds some cans and he quotes me the prices off of Breweriana web site. I try and explain how prices on some cans have really fallen, but they don't want to hear no such thing.
What really blows my mind is that contractor will call me back and tell me someone bought those cans at his price! HUH? I can never prove it, except for those over priced crappy sheet Gordon bought

Re: Quarts Qwarts Qwartz!!
Thanks again Dan for the input. I tell you what, that shows just how thin and weak the market is for certain cans. I understand that rolled examples are difficult to evaluate, but still, this was a one-time $10,000+ can! And here's a clean sheet! I suppose you could also argue that the Associated lacks the 'graphic' element sometimes necessary to really drive value and desirability.

I also was interested in the Associated Sheet but the timing was bad for me do the fact that my bank roll was / is Saved for Canvention next week. Maybe besides myself that also played into equation why bidding did not go crazy?

Re: Quarts Qwarts Qwartz!!
If I would have won the Associated I would have priced it at $5000.00+ (unless So Cal wanted it) and I probably would have sat on the can for awhile, but eventually it may have sold. Not everyone knows the associated sheet was on eBay. On any given day or time it may sell, or a certain show, and if I did have a buyer, he probably would think that the Associated was sold to cheap?

Yes, there's certainly that possibility if you have a non-disclosing seller.

Re: Quarts Qwarts Qwartz!!
Pretty ballsy of the guy to list them without a reserve. I suppose he can make himself the high bidder again should the prices be less than what he wants. They won't be coming to my house!

Re: Quarts Qwarts Qwartz!!
He shopped them to me too, I know he was bidding myself and a couple of us against each other. Same story, 911 buddy at least he was honest with me about his goal to get as much as he could for them. My only concern would be multiples, but I don't think that is the case because I know a few of us made big offers. If he had multiples he would have just sold one of each to all of us without anyone knowing at first.

Re: Quarts Qwarts Qwartz!!
Still rolling them out - three more nice quartz. What's it cost to have a sheet professionally rolled & lidded?
