Out with the Old

A few weeks ago a couple people at work found out I have a can collection.  Since then, they've both contributed cans I didn't have.  And in return, I was able to help one of them with their collection.  But first, a little history...

Years ago I decided not to collect beer cans, mostly because there are even more beer cans than soda cans and I had to draw the line somewhere.  So when I answered a Craigslist ad for 800+ cans, most of them were soda cans but there were some beer cans included.  The soda cans were added to my collection and the beer cans were put in boxes in the garage.

So when one of the guys at work told me he collects Budweiser things, I told him I had some cans for him.

He specifically collects the Budweiser and Busch brands, so I went through my beer can boxes and took him over a dozen older cans for his collection.

You never know when or where you'll meet another collector.  And by giving him some cans I didn't even want, he's going to keep an eye out for special edition or novelty cans I may not have.  

Hey Franklin Covey, THAT'S how you network!
