Dr Pepper Cone Can Unopened

[CFlatt]

I was curious to how rare these are? I picked three of them up recently and think they are really neat. I don't normally collect cans, just machines & signs. I couldn't pass on what I paid for them verses what they sold for on eBay. I couldn't get a picture to attach so i copied a link to the same cans I have.

This isn't the actual can i have, but the same and similar shape.

If they are in good shape you can get a good bit for them.  Use the ebay advanced search and see what they are selling for now.  One in very good condition usually can go as high as $75-$100.

I looked at the past auctions and most of the unopened cans had sold for just over $200, only one other had sold for less for some reason. I'm hoping to sell 2 of them and keep one for my collection of Dr Pepper stuff. One guy quotes the can value at $350-400 per Dave Tanners Collectible Soda Cans book, but I have not been able to confirm that nor assume it is close to being correct. I purchased 3 in hopes of selling them to cover the cost of my one to keep, but now i'm thinking of just keeping all 3. I paid $100 each for them from a guy who's father in law passed and had approx 20 unopened cans including a few pristine cans in the original paper 6 pack holders, but he will not let those go.

Wow 
My wife rips me a new one when I spend 1400 on a machine..... can't imagine the new opening I would get if I spent that much on a pop can.

Interesting can though!

Great  "Go With" item...  think you did well.. I have several bottles and have paid close to that for certain crates
and smalls... If you sell wait close to Christmas... folks get crazy then on ebay.... Nice score WITH history behind them!

Even though that is the most common Dr Pepper cone top can you got those at a good price assuming they are in nice condition without rust. Dave Tanner is a friend of mine and his book lists them at $200 - $250 which is what they usually go for. I have seen a few on ebay go for more and others a little less.
