I was dutifully populating the ebay auctions page, minding my own business, and I stumbled across this Rams Head that sold for a $400+ tidy sum. As is my wont, I was recording the Lilek number when I discovered it's #710....which is an R10. Now, to be fair, it's just a 44AX canning code giving it that distinction, and I'm certain canning codes are under-reported......however, I still thought it noteworthy.
Here it is:

Re: Missed an R10 on ebay
Super cool variation of the OI (didn't realize the canning code) IMHO.
I was going to throw in a competitive bid on that can, but held off at the last minute. Looking back, probably should have gone for it. The seller of that can had actually purchased it on Ebay several months earlier for over $700. I had messaged him as to why he was selling as I noticed it was the same can. Said he upgraded. Too bad he took a hit on this one, but would love to see that upgrade!
FWIW, I'll have a dumper of this can my tote at Canvention. Not sure about the canning code info, but is the OI with the Red/Black.

Re: Missed an R10 on ebay
I happen to have a 710 as well, about a grade 3 or so. I actually have 17 R-10's from the Lilek book, and none of mine are the cans actually pictured in the book.
