Miller OI in great condition...Sold for $670.00 w/32 bids...Seems a little high as there are lots of these cans around..Am I missing something

Hard to say.....with a super tiny graphic and zero links to the original auction, can't look it up to see if it's a rare variation. WF? Who knows? Can't tell from this.
Pretty common....not super squeaky shiny clean.....Lilek 531 - R6/R2......someone way overpaid. Concur....someone with the last name of Miller and too much money to burn.

Yeah, Thats the more common variation. worth maybe $200 tops. I could see any one of the other 2 rarer variations maybe getting $400 tops but $670 for this thing that aint even that clean is insane. About 10+ years ago there was at least one, maybe 2 cases of these found mint & unfilled in original case box with no top lids. These were selling for about $200 each back then & since then I've seen many of them selling on ebay with new top lids applied for about $300. LEON.

The seller of those minty red Miller cups was from Milwaukee, I’ve sold him some signage so I thought I could get one from him at a small discount after he sold about a dozen cups- he wouldn’t even tell me how many he found! Done with that guy- Ziphippie
Maybe the Malt Liquor variation is a $5-6 can. Seems like the Malt Lager variation of any Malt Liquor can is always much tougher? LEON.

A local guy had 100's of cases of full cans including several cases of the malt lagers. He sold a lot of them on ebay but when approached to sell groups, he wouldn't give a bargain (He wanted $8 to $10 per can) (this was 20 years ago) He later passed away + his wife was stuck with thousands of unopened 40 year old (rusty) cans. (By now most of the cans were leaking + at best had lots of tarnish) ... I passed on taking them for free. She also had lots of bottles + older cans. I ended up with several trays that were mostly common buy some were real nice.
The cloud nine's are super-tough to find in pristine condition + hard to keep them in pristine condition outside of climate controlled environment.
The can in the listing is worth $25 .. maybe a little more but I don't keep up with the prices on the 70's cans too much. I see them at local shows all the time for $20. I live 1/2 hr from that brewery. The beer distributor in DuBois has some cool cans displayed but his Cloud-9's have tarnish too.
Maybe Someone can Post the Auction for the 2 Bantams that just Sold for 620.00...Both the Ale and Beer...I can't get the link to Post with My Phone

That's insane for those 2 Goebels. I'll pull mine off the shelf & sell them but I could put a $100 opening bid on them & not get 1 bid. who are these people that bid these insane prices. I don't know any body like that?

$5k and reserve not met?
How high is the reserve?!?!
Considering the first nice clean indoor Clipper on ebay sold for $19,299.00 that makes $5k sounds like a steal LEON.

Why drive 12 hour one way to dig Pre-Tax Tru Blu ales, Genny 12 Horse Longopeners, Gamecock Ales, Apollos, Neuweilers Bock, and Krueger’s Baldies when you can locally drive 10 hours round trip and dig Pfeiffer, Goebel, Drewrys and Strohs?

IT WAS ONLY 1/2 THAT AMOUNT.
Originally it was, until she sent him a 2nd can free of charge. LEON.

Just what I was thinking.
I am just a simple country boy and I am corn-fused...
Did one Clipper sell for $199,000 dollars and then a second can was free if you bought the first one??
Plus $3.0o shipping?

And somebody got a steel for $5 grand. How many cans did they get 1 or 5??

I'll try to clearify from Memmory. First one sold for $19,299. Then soon after seller sent young son/nephew whoever back up into the attic to look for more & he found 11 more from the 12 pack or close to it roughly. the 2 high bidders & everybody else complained it would have never got bid up that high if they knew there was a total of 12 instead of one, approximately give or take a few, exact # I can't remember. Seller felt bad for the high bidder paying so much & was aware the price would have fallen with 11 more flooding the market, so she sent him a 2nd one free. which means he really got 2 mint Clippers for the $19,299.00. I think Gene Dicico bought the rest & was selling for approximately $8k-$10k. Dented straightened cans getting $5k-$7.k. LEON.

The reason it sold so high was it was the best example known at the time...I cant remember what Brewery It was brewed at but was super rare and just a hand full known..May be the California collectors can chime in
At the time(ebay auction) she only found one can and when It sold for 19k she went looking for more. I thought she found 5 or 6 more but I could be wrong...Giving that she gave the buyer a free can after the auction was pretty cool..

I remember too, being told that the variation that sold for big bucks is an easier variation. One of the milestones in beer can history. Opened eyes for $$$ in a lot of the non collecting public.
