Collectibles: Popular Items
There are as many kinds of collectibles (http://www.soda-pop-collectibles.com) as there are kinds of people. One of the most popular collectibles there is relates to soft drinks (http://www.soda-pop-collectibles.com). These collectibles range from things created when the beverages were first formulated to more recent limited bottles or cans and even promotional items. Some collectors also specialize in soda machines as well.
Of course bottles are one of the most common collectibles because they do not require much space and offer a great variety of styles and come in a wide price range appealing to more collectors' budgets. Bottles still containing the product are considered more desirable and will bring a higher price.
While soda memorabilia collectors specialize in many brands of soda, there is a huge collector's market for Pepsi (http://www.soda-pop-collectibles.com/store.php?catid=13612) collectibles. In 1893 a North Carolina druggist, Caleb Bradham, invented a drink he called "Brad's Drink". Five years later "Brad's Drink" became officially known as Pepsi (http://www.soda-pop-collectibles.com/store.php?catid=13612) Cola. Pepsi (http://www.soda-pop-collectibles.com/store.php?catid=13612) bottles which are especially prized are the very old, rare ones as well as more recent special editions like the "Elvis" commemorative bottle which was only issued a few years back.
Bottles that demonstrate a change to a new era are highly valued by collectors. This would include the first cans, and early bottles that were labeled "no deposit, no return". Other things that add value or popularity include changes in the label or shape of the bottle. People also collect the old wood cases in which the bottles were delivered and even the recent cardboard packaging as long as it has some interesting design or image on it.
All kinds of signs make up another genre of collectibles. People collect outdoor signs of metal and wood, indoor signs in all shapes, sizes, and designs, and even murals which require the removal of the entire walls they're painted on. Functional signs such as clocks and lights are very popular. A major factor in the value of wooden signs is condition. Wooden signs that were stored inside and not exposed to all kinds of weather are highly-prized specimens.
Soda machines are also popular, and some collectors specialize in Pepsi (http://www.soda-pop-collectibles.com/store.php?catid=13612) machines exclusively. These range from simple metal boxes that contained bottles and ice to more modern automated machines, and every step in between. Many machines are available and prized ones still work. Prices can range from under $100 to thousands for rare machines.
Other categories of collectibles can include everything from t-shirts to crystal. Soft drink companies produce limited editions of merchandise which you can purchase at numerous sites online. Soda company glasses and trays are one of the least expensive soda collectibles on the market. However, you can find pretty much anything you can name with a soda logo, often at very affordable prices.
Soda Pop Collectibles (http://www.soda-pop-collectibles.com) is the #1 online community for Coca-Cola & Pepsi (http://www.soda-pop-collectibles.com/store.php?catid=13612) collectors.
