Every item in this auction comes from the remarkable lifelong collection/accumulation of Charles Vick, one of the breweriana hobby's best-known personalities. Charlie's faithful old van finally reached the end of the road in January. Proceeds from this auction will help put him behind the wheel of a replacement so he can return to the breweriana shows, antique shops, and flea markets he has loved for nearly 60 years.

Notes: Jim Garard was the first beer can collector for whom price and time were no barriers in his quest to build the best possible collection. When he sold his collection through Ken White in 1980 the extraordinary prices he received made shockwaves in the hobby. Beer can collecting once a casual blue-collar pastime had become a serious hobby. Here is the list of prices realized from that sale along with Ken's cover letter which was mailed out with all winning lots. Condition as shown in the scan.

Unless otherwise requested, shipping will be fulfilled via USPS or UPS. Insurance on winnings of over $50 is required, as is a handling fee, to cover to cost of labor and materials. Generally, this is 50¢ per can, $1 per tray and bottle, $10 per wooden crate. Medium-sized signs will require a $5-10 handling fee. The handling fee for large items could be quite a bit more. Shipping charges will be combined for multiple lots, of course.

Every item in this auction comes from the remarkable lifelong accumulation of Charles Vick, one of the breweriana hobby's best-known personalities. Proceeds will help Charlie replace his van that has kept him homebound since January, allowing him to return to the breweriana shows and flea markets he has attended for more than 50 years.
