Carl's CANvention Take

[Carl S]

Wow, that was quite a busy week! I had a great time reconnecting with Rusty Bunchers and others who I have not seen in a long time except through FB or the RB page. My goals were to greatly thin down the trade stock, so that required getting as much as possible to the show.

Fully Loaded

I donated 3-4 cases to the Rusty Bunch dump and sold/traded another 20 cases or so. Thanks to Brian Artzberger from AZ, Joe Prin, Nan Wick, John McLogan, and others who bought in bulk. I returned with ~500 fewer cans.

I figured there would be many Rainier Jubilees to pick through and I was not disappointed. I mostly avoided the top end shine but added some good ones.

Jubilee Half Quarts

I upgraded some OI's in deals with Bob L, Dale B, and Steve A.

My cones from the show. PK Frawley, and old time Vancouver collector, had ten or so Burgie quarts that he found 35 years ago under a building. The Lifestaff and Burgie are new, Martin's and Golden Age are upgrades, and the Rainier 3.2% (from Colorado) is a dupe.

New Cones

Here's my can group:

And a few other pick ups:
