Hey everybody. I still need to learn more. Do ACL bottles with misprinted or off center or any other strange label have more value or are more collectabe to people? I have a 7up with a miss print and a Canada dry that seems to be off center.

An error bottle of a popular brand may gain some novelty value, but it needs to be really messed up. Otherwise, collectors want perfectly aligned labels.

They may not have much value at the moment but give it few years and when all the old guys die off and their bottles are sold in estate sales or thrown in the trash,even the weird or just slightly weird bottles will become more valuable. to those who cn't find them anymore.
some want perfect bottles some just like them as they are,just depends on who you talk to.
that 7-up is cool :)

IMHO
the 7 up may bring a higher price then a non error in that condition. If that bottle was not an error and faded like that it would be hitting my recycle bin. Being the error I would hold onto it.

As Pat said. NO. And yes hold on to it if you like it and want it in your collection, but as for value, it is basically worthless. ACLs with off center paint are NOT any more collectable that those that are lined up...and a faded 7-UP is about as common as you can get...
