I think that diet soda's will be very collectable in the future. that being said, the few prices I saw in the pictures, seem very high for those bottles.

My .02.

I've not seen national brands priced that high.
I'd think it would be a l-o-n-g time getting there ($$$-wise) considering the quantities the nationals produced.

Keep hearing about values of diet & sugar-free and their potential for growth...I've been picking 1 or 2 up each show and I've not seen any such movement in values for a couple years. Their growth, to me, is limited because they are usually ugly and very few I've seen are pictured labels. I don't recall spending more than $25 -$30 on any that I have...
There is one, I'm not sayin' which one, mind you, that I'd gladly spend $50 on soon as I see it. I really don't see investment potential in the diet/sugarless bottles because it's too tiny of a niche and not enough aggressive buyers combined with their none to glamorous labels.

Show me a local small company bottlers diet soda that I haven't seen. I'll start the bidding at $10 on a two color.


My vote on the ugliest diet soda in the photo.

Yes, that is pale baby-poop green acl.
With lots of 'air'.
Totally unglamorous and ugly defined.
imho
