Thinking about his wish list got me thinking that it will be tough to get at any price. I guess that's a good thing unless you are in his shoes as a buyer. Not impossible but tough. Nice problem to have though, being in a postition to be looking for all 81's then having them restored.

I think the 7up and Generic prices listed above should be flipped.
I think a true generic is tough to find, but the value doesn't reflect it (and I even own a generic / Dr. Pepper)

I have seen a half dozen generic 81's compared to only a few Pepsi 81's in person.  Interesting how they populate in different areas!

I know of in person that I have seen in the flesh in collections 4 Pepsi 81s right now. I seen 3 in Des Moines Iowa last year while at the Gas Show. There has been 3-4 bought and sold here in the last year by SMC members that I know of, NOT rare but very desirable. They pop up and most of the time sell fast.

I see 8-10 Pepsi 81s before I see one Generic. I have heard restorers in the 80s-90s that would cut up generics to make them into Cokes as they sold better. I dont know if that is true or not???
