My take from the Gator Traders Snowbird Show

#1

Post by Cantageous »

Here is my meager haul. I as ballin on a budget, so most of the, were trades or less than $10. There were some nice cans, but I could not get them for what I had in my pocket at the time. Thanks to everyone who attended, it was a good time as always. It's always nice to hang with Joe Older, Pat Taylor, Richie Dubriel and to finally meet Cale Rogalski. Dales cans were very nice, just out of my price range at the moment. I'll post my take and fee-post some show pics as I only have a few.

Cheers,

Keith

Any time you can make it to a can show and meet other collectors and add to your collection is a great day! (second only to digging cans with fellow collectors)

Cheers

Nice haul! I'm typically in the under $10 price range myself (actually, usually under $5). I like your cans and the ones I get too. I just got the red Miller you got when I was at the Winterfest show a week ago. Mine displays really nice like yours does but mine has some problems on the back side. But who cares? It's like a Christmas tree. Just put the back towards the wall and nobody knows the difference.
Focus: Cones and flats from Michigan, South Bend, and Fort Wayne. Foreign cans only if I bought them myself in the country of origin.

2023 Shows Attended

* Michigan Chapter Winterfest, January 14, Frankenmuth Michigan
* Cabin Fever Reliever, February 24, Mishawaka Indiana
* Buckeye, March 11, Toledo Ohio
* SummerSwap, July 21 & 22, Frankenmuth Michigan
