Are Altoid Cans collectable?

[Groovedymond]

I have a strange collections.... been collecting ALL Altoid cans for about 5 years now... I must have 50 different tins now... some with lithograph type pictures on the front marked as Collectable... many others are just weird flavors you don't see everyday.

Are these things collectable? I have searched E-Bay and such, and all I see people selling are empty cans for different uses (ashtrays to i-pod holders).

If you can Collect them, They are Collectable.

As for Value ?

You need several Collectors trying to Complete a Collection first.

My guess in this Vast world, there are several Collectors, however,
I Don't think there is an Altoid Collectors Society "YET"

Still sounds like an Intresting Hobby though.

This is funny. I always saved Altoid cans.....when the girls were little I gave them to them mints instead of candy. They love them now. And they saved the cans to make barbie doll suitcases,put their treasures in them,fishing hooks, etc. Perfect size for alot of stuff! So looks like you better start the Collectors Club and drive that price up really High!
