Condition/Comments: The myth. The legend. The demand for the label far outweighs supply. Few collectors are unaware of the lore of its part of the legendary Tiger and Rosalie sale in the 1970s which established the only on grade example as one of the most valuable cans in the hobby. The Mickey Mantle rookie or Superman #1 of the beer can world. The label rates R8 in off grade condition in the USBCOI, with about 10 off grade examples known. This outdoor found example is on the rough side, but is discernible and legible on the reverse. A solid can despite some small holes on the face that have been epoxied. These rarely come to market so you may want to seize the opportunity to own an example of a truly iconic can. Condition comments intended to point out defects not apparent in photos. Rely upon photos for primary assessment of condition. For more info or questions regarding this lot contact Dan via email.
