Old soda can collection

[indygunguy]

When I was a kid in the 80's I collected soda cans. They are all different, no duplicates, and there are hundreds of them. Some are standard everyday stuff, some are obscure brands you've never heard of.

Fast forward 30 years, and I realized that I still have them boxed up at my parents farm. I'm in de-clutter mode, so I'd kinda like to get rid of them.

Any INGO'ers collect cans, or know anyone who does? Or should I just recycle them?

I had the exact same situation as you, I put them on Craigs List and finally sold them for $50.00. I had about a garbage bag full from the 70's
The guy was pretty flaky but drove about an hour to come get them.

Bump. Looking for suggestions.

I had a beer can collection once with over 200 different beer cans, closer to 240. It was in my dorm room at Indiana University, late 1974. When I got back from Christmas vacation, it was gone. Apparently the custodial staff couldn't tell that it was a collection.

Well........they were all the same brand and fairly new so........

And stacked in a pyramid shape? I may or may not have had a similar "collection".
