Any help valueing these cans is appreciated

#1

Post by Mike Wilbur »

So, usually when people post cans like this they really just want to know what they are worth and just feel weird saying it. So... what are each of these worth? Was sorting cans today and pulled them. I remember Ed or Dan talking about the Lucky "age mellowed" can. The BL Bock I know is pretty decent, but not sure how decent. The other can I just know nothing about. Any help is appreciated! -Mike

Whiteway's Cider is one you see pretty often--I'm afraid it's only worth a couple dollars (under $10). The Lucky "Age Mellowed" is definitely tough, but not sure how to put a dollar value on it in that shape ... Black Label displays real nice. I'd have to think it would go over $50 if you put it on eBay, but I couldn't be more precise than that ...

The age mellow is a really tough variation - BUT it is a Lucky AND condition is compromised (condition and toughness). You need to find a lucky collector that needs it. Hard to put a value here. I bet if you brought it to a NW show - you could name your price. CANvpdX 2016?! We hope to know in a day or so.

The age mellowed is tough, but the condition really knocks down the value. 3-4 years ago I was offered a gr. 1 for $250. I can't see it going for anywhere near that much solely due to condition. I wouldn't think you could "name your price" as Mr. Boardman put it. I was thinking more like $30- $40 bucks but I have a bias against cans that aren't that solid.

I have had the great privilege of dumping with 68 current and former Rusty Bunch members, to date. Got to hit the woods of Virginia with Charlie Smigo recently.

I appreciate the help. If I could I'd move this thread to the advertise section. If anyone wants the Whiteways for $10, the Lucky for $45 or the BL Bock for $75, let me know. Prices would include shipping. Too much good stuff! -Mike
