Gretz Bock flat

Post by Plusonegolfer »

Does anyone know how many fully on-grade Gretz Bock cans are out there - and, if any have sold, how much?

The Adolph Grenke can is the only A1+ example I've seen, and it was advertised as probably the best known example in Adolph's auction. I thought it substantially underperformed there; it brought only $2750. I haven't seen any good ones sell since then, and prices have changed quite a bit since 2012, so it's difficult to evaluate with any certainty.

Interestingly I bought my can in similar condition from Frank in 1987. Wonder how many he had?
And it still sits on my shelf.
