I don't collect beer cans, but I ran across a box of beer cans at a garage sale and took a chance. I paid $1 for six cans. Three of them were Silver Bar Premium Ale cans. I could not find them on e-bay so I listed the best one for auction...
It sold for a bit more than my $1 investment ($285). The guy who bought it told me that I had probably found one of the best cans out there. The other two were in crappier shape, and they sold for $40 and $21. I had handed the lady a card at the garage sale and she called me back for work. When I got there I told her the story of the cans and she said she had another one that I bought for $10 (at that point the cans had not sold and the bids were only up to $50 at that point). The one I got then I wound up selling fo $110. So... although I do not collect, beer cans have been very good to me.
