Default Beer can collectors?

Do people still collect beer cans? Cleaning out a closet and found some old Tuborg and Iron City steel cans from when I was a kid some 30 years ago. Also some Harley and Sturgis cans from various years. It's time for these things to go. Any market for em?

I know my dad used to when he was younger. He has over 700 different ones. I think he has since sold them.

Looks like they're worth about two dollars.

I collected them when I was a kid, wish now I'd saved a few of the more interesting & novel cans. Like "Olde Frothingslosh" or the "Robin Hood Cream Ale" or the full can of "Billy Beer" that I had... BTW, that Billy Beer SUCKED.

I think like just about anything, eventually, somebody will put a higher value on those old cans; maybe not as much as comic books, but I can remember some of the old cone-top cans selling for over $100. At the very least, those old cans will make some nice & interesting beer decor in your home/man-cave. Or sell them to a bar that has such things as decor. Regards, GF.
