@RCO, That is precisely right, for the most part. I DO understand the concept and have always appreciated the logic. I have seen now tho, items that had very little interest from the collecting world and hence, no dollar value have been coming into their own focus of interest. So, I still on occasion, speculate a little. These Cokes were at a garbage sale during one of our "townwide" garage/yard sale days. Picked 'em up for about two bits each.I recall hearing once before that generally the items " made to be collectable " don't turn out to be collectable .
its generally the stuff no one though would become collectable that becomes desirable years after it disappears from public use
so my though on these bottles is that there not really collectable other than to some coke collectors who might want one as an example or to ad to display
