These cans are for sale or trade.  I buy cans that I need for my collection and sell cans that I have upgraded with ones in better condition.  I have collected crowntainers since 1997 and most of my cans in very clean condition so I don't need to upgrade often.  When I do upgrade, it is for tough cans like those shown here, not the easy entry level cans.  Click here to see some cans that I recently sold.

NOTE: I have a collection of over 1000 pull tab beer cans from the 1970's that I want to sell cheap as a group.  They've been boxed up for many years and I need to make room.  Unfortunately, I don't have a picture of the collection. Nearly all are in mint condition and bottom opened.  If you are interested in seeing a list of cans, send me an e-mail
 

Click on a photograph to see up-close pictures of all sides of the can.  Please note that these photos were taken with a 2x zoom from a couple feet away, which exaggerates any flaws.  So, if the can looks good in the pictures,  it will look even better on your shelf!  Please e-mail me if you would like to purchase one or would like more information.

This is a real sleeper can that is much tougher than people think. In my 13 years of specializing in crowntainers, I have never seen an on-grade version of this for sale.
