Hit a weird milestone with my vintage can collection this week

I finally cracked 300 unique soda cans last Saturday. Most of them are from the 70s and 80s, but I got a real gem this week - a 1965 Royal Crown draft cola can from a flea market in St. Louis. The paint is about 60% intact which is insane for something that old. I've been at this hobby for about 4 years now and never thought I'd get past 200 honestly. Anyone else collect food or drink packaging and have a number they're chasing?

60% intact on a '65 Royal Crown can? That's wild, I figured most of those would be totally rusted out by now." Seriously impressive find for a flea market score like that.

Buddy found one in his grandpa's barn still half full.
