Hi fellow members! Here's a picture of many of the cans I'd like to have... The many gaps indicate some that you've helped me acquire.
I'm still looking for these. Can anyone help? I have traders. Thanks!

is there a doctor in the house?

Oh, I hope so!

I have a few thousand soda cans and I'm sure there are a few of these in there. Just wondering if it is worth digging. Are this $1 type cans or $20 or? Just wondering how motivated I should be to dig. -mike

Mike, I just sent a PM to you. I'm not too good at this yet. Thanks!

I didn't get the PM. -Mike

Do you already have Dr Skipper, Dr Choice, Dr Topper, Dr IGA, Dr Brown's and Dr Well's (newer)? All on ebay right now.

Oh, wow! Thank you for bringing these to my attention. I checked 'em out, looks like I have them. I do appreciate your looking. Sometimes, I have found cans that have the same design and appear to be the same, but they are different - aluminum and steel, ridged top and not ridged, etc. Also, some of mine may not be in the best shape, and, I'm always looking for traders. Again, thank you for your interest!

Mike, I just tried again. Let me know if you got it. Thanks!

Got it. I'll take a look next week. Thanks!

Great! Thanks again!!

Need this one?

Cool! I never bottom open mine it's just too hard unless I need to or a lid is dirty.

Here's an odd Dr Brown: http://www.therustybunch.com/phpBB3/vie ... 40&t=26126" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

And a cherry: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Nice-Dr-Browns- ... 2edd73af0f" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

Correct me if I'm wrong but I believe opening them from the top defeats the purpose and I would say that it actuallys decreases the value. You can take a punch and hammer and easily knock a hole,in the bottom instead of trying to use a church key.

I don't think it does. And I drink all these I don't try to sell them. I use my pocket knife and puncture the very bottom of the rim so only air comes out. And then do 1 round with the opener.

I think willssoda is right about this, it does decrease the value of them.

I know several soda collectors that won't even take cans opened like that, same with beer cans.

To me it doesn't really matter much, if I don't have the can I will take any opened way can, but prefer bottom opened. It just looks better.

Its a preference

Bantam10, regarding your earlier post(s), I do not need any of those cans but I very much appreciate your interest! Thank you!

Now, back to the original subject, please...

Diamondcans, thanks for the tip! DrWho

You're welcome. For some reason the link didn't work correctly on the first can I was trying to highlight. Let's try it again:

Got it, thanks!

Quick update: All of the pictured cans are still at large....

You probably already have them but there are three Dr B's currently listed on eBay

Willssoda, thanks for the heads-up! I do have these, just got one of 'em last month. So good to know someone is watching for these. Many thanks!!

From 37 to 28 cans wanted. I'm gettin' there! DrWho

Still lookin' for all 28 of these....if anyone has any to sell or trade, please let me know. Thanks. DrWho
