Coke-Freak
(5 items)
This is one wall that has some bottled cokes and cans and other items that are newer. The shelves are deep enough to go 3 deep so it's hard to see much but the front stuff. There is some cokes from before they did the New Coke switch in the 80's just to scare us and then come back with Coke Classic. ;D
I like the look of your collection, how you have it up and out of the way using shelves. And right above the T.V., I can relate! A lot of people collect these items and eBay is full of auctions for them. TGBWC gives good advice. One of the things I love most about collecting Coca-Cola, that it's an inclusive endeavor with many different levels of participation. We all have one thing in common: We enjoy doing it and sharing the experience. Thanks for doing so and keep it up!
Not a bad start, and you have chosen the right brand to collect, lol. If you are serious about collecting coke items either for investment or just a fun hobby, I would suggest you get a copy of a Petretti's guide or Warman's C-C collectibles book. There is some good tips and you can get a ballpark idea on the cost of some things you may be interested in. Also don't forget to keep posting here with your updates!!
Nice start Coke-Freak! Listen to what the others are saying and good luck on your collecting!

Wish my kitchen shelves looked that neat on Sunday mornings.
Thanks for all the nice comments. Those are just some of my Coke items. I have 2 Oak book cases that are filled also and some items hanging on the wall from signs to thermometer, I have a calendar that is missing the 13th of August in it, a bird house made around a can that the end was taken off of. I just can't get myself to put outside, of course! ;) I have saved some things from all the way back to the 70's and didn't realize that I would eventually be a collector/hoarder of Coca-Cola items. So I have some of those small items too!
