How can it possibly be graded 'proof' when we have yet to see the reverse side?
Don.......

This is a "rare" one... It only has one side.

Besides...
To take another picture would mean I would have to take this puppy off the chain around my neck...
No way... I could loose it again.

I used three chains.

One hard one to top there...on my bucket list..

I don't know. Hate to burst your bubble, but it looks like there is some field damage, which will knock its value way, way down. I would suggest you shoot for a set, say 5000 or so, and you might get a few bucks for them. Then again, you can try selling it on EBay, seems there are buyers there for everything.

I am very suspicious of this posting. I saw a very similar one for sale on ebay last week. Doesn't anyone else find it strange on how there were no in situ pics ??

That's not "field damage"...

That was from my "bite test"... gotta make sure it was real... you know... like in the old days.

To think that this may have been pulled off a can of schlitz in the 70's prior to someone heading out to an Eagles concert.... breathtaking.

I got one like that, but in better condition.

When I showed it to the property owner, he took it, and said that it belong to his grandfather! I learned a valuable lesson that day.

Banner voter in!

I needed this laugh!! I'm staring at snowbanks....then at my CTX3030... Than the snowbanks tearing up!!! As sad as this sounds.... I would live to dig a pull tab.... Come on spring!!!

Congrats.... That is a rare very old Black Label beer can pull tab. No wonder your excited... I am FOR YOU!!! Such wonderful shape also. You should be very proud of yourself... :thumbsup:

I'll start on a nice display case for you as soon as I get my new shop organized (for free). Would you like the display case made from cardboard, OSB or particle board. And would you like the corners held together by electrical tape, duck tape or the clear wrapping tape? Your choice buddy. I'm here for YOU!!!! In the end you'll be as proud of the case as you will your great pull tab find... Signed, Your buddy Brad
