I'll take the soda pop stuff. You guys can have the beer, auto stuff LOL! Can't he be reported for advertising stuff he ain't selling on ebay? I always hate it when a collector decides to sell of the collection. Good for everyone else. Just sad that a person puts so much (including heart and soul) into this beautiful stuff just to have to sell it. I hope my son or daughter might get interested enough to continue on with my collection. The main thing I and others have noticed in the soda collecting hobby, is there is NO NEW BLOOD (re: Young 'uns) getting into this. We are getting old and having to sell our stuff to support ourselves. And then there is 1 0r 2 less collectors around. Terry

I can't tell from his auction if he is saying he is having an auction ON labor day where it will all be sold or if he means he is starting to list it all on ebay on labor day and running a 7 day auction on it? anyone know? I emailed this same question and haven't heard.. he has some Killer stuff.. would love to have a triangle fountain sign!

Well I am somewhat new blood in the hobby. I grew up with my dad collecting and I have been into all of my life. I am 28 years old and have had over 70 machines many signs and several Jukes. Also Joey AKA Coke and Stuff is about my age as well.

Yeah, I have to agree that there is some new blood, I've sold some vintage machines to some guys in there mid 20's this past summer... they appreciate the older stuff, mechanical pinballs, pop machines etc.. but I guess compared to several years ago... I suppose there are fewer? we hope that can change?
I found out this auction is a live /online auction just on Labor day... so I signed up ..
Ok, So WHO is near there that could help with shipping if anyone wins something? Not sure how far Brian or Greg is from there?
Thanks John

Yea, it's a live auction in New Braunfells, TX on Labor Day. You can bid on line as well with his links.
Brian (Seven181) is less than an hour away (though he might be out of town this weekend) and I'm about 3 hours away. I may be able to help if someone needs something shipped/held.
I'd LOVE some of the beer stuff, as well as some of the other. I'm real curious how prices will be.

This is a top notch collection. Not only does he have the best and most desirable stuff, it is all in extremely good condition. Wow! I wish I still lived in San Antonio.
I have recently bought out two small collections on the East coast. Older gentlemen, one moving to the beach and the other down on his luck. And the prices were very fair. At least they became fair when I pulled out cash and said I wanted it all. Or in one case, all of the original signs. I shy away from the reproductions.
And your right, it is a sad day to see someone part with a collection that has taken so much time, effort and money to acquire.

Did anyone see the auction? I thought it was live internet bidding so logged on on Monday and it said bidding closed? I am curious as what the stuff brought?
