RO-Diet Blue Ridge Root Beer Flat Top

#1

Post by budbock »

I picked this up in a small collection of soda cans recently.I almost passed on the collection,The guy sent me a poor picture of mostly common cans,I looked at the picture and did not see anything I wanted.I got ready to email him back and tell him I was not interested and looked at the picture again and this gem jumped out at me! I have been searching for one of these for a long time and almost missed it! I must be getting old!

Great find! The this flavored diet Blue Ridge was already listed as an R0 in the guide. Now there are two!
Any chance you could post a nice pic of the seam for the guide? I do not own the other one.

Thanks,
Dave T
I collect one flavor of rare soda can generations. Also publish Collectible Soda Cans - don't hesitate to contact me with cans you have available or questions about old soda cans.
