Hello
I have been collecting since '75-'76, given a Beer Can Bible in '77. First can I can rember getting was Big Cat, first cone was Grain Belt, still have both.

Had up to 800 at one point but most were damaged in basement flood, so out they went. I still pick up an odd can here or there but basically done.....for now.

I have a few nice cans but mostly common ones.

That's my story and I'm sticking to it.
Paul

You will never know what you will find. Feel free to chime in and ask questions. There are no dumb questions and many guys here are happy to answer them. We all remember when we were the New Guy...lol.

Thanks all.
Located in the land of Walmart, Bentonville AR.
Was mainly focused on Minnesota cans being that's where I caught the bug.

Just unpacked two can totes & a small box of cans, all I have left. Have been moved from MN, to AZ, to CO, back to MN, to New Zealand & to AR. Picked up a few on the way but have been fairly stagnant in fact this is the first time boxes have been open in years.
