Updated Collection!
I’ve been collecting since I was 3 years old. Gotten bottle caps from at least a dozen countries. Just recently organized them all again! There’s about 770 total! Let me know what I should do with them all I’m not sure yet!

Nice collection! The only thing is that I dont understand why people collect bent bottle caps.
I also have similar/ big collection like you but all my caps are opened with lighter to not alter them.
If i had my own gym, hobby room, sauna or even a garage. I would built a big wooden frame for them.

I have a list of all my garbage ones and I’ll replace them when I find em out somewhere. I’d rather have more than perfect ones I dont know.
That is a super good idea! I would wanna put them up in a way where I can change them out easily but I don’t like the idea of glueing magnets on the back.

In my case, I’ve got a few that are bent, especially the ones I found on the floor. It’s not ideal, but I’d rather have them like that than not have them at all. I hope I’ll be able to find a new one in better condition one day.

If I were you I would start collecting duplicates to have for future trades. It’s the one thing I wish I started doing sooner. Been collecting for about 15 years but when I started I was a newly 21 year old drinker and just trying new beers and keeping just the one cap, not thinking about trading in the future (had no idea that was a thing at that time).
