/r/BottleCapCollecting
This is the subreddit for all things related to bottle cap collecting. It can be a super fun hobby, especially when you have others helping you out. Our goal is to create a community of collectors/sellers/traders
We focus on collecting and acquiring caps, rather than bottle cap art/stories/memorabilia
Things that ARE allowed in this subreddit:
Requests for trades, requests to buy and letting others know you are selling bottle caps.
Links to bottle cap auctions on Ebay, Craigslist, etc...
Posting pictures of unknown caps to seek help identifying them.
Displaying collections.
Asking questions related to the hobby (eg. seeking methods for repairing damaged caps) which are not covered in the FAQ.
Anything relating to obtaining information on caps, or the drinks themselves. This is more or less the general rule from which all of the other subreddit rules are derived.
Making posts about feedback about a trade that you had with another user. This keeps the community safe.
Bottle cap art, as long as it shows your different caps. If it's just the same cap over and over again or you can't actually see the design on the cap, it should not be posted. If you want to show bottle cap art and it doesn't not satisfy these criteria, you can now post it on r/BottleCap_Art!
Things that are not allowed
Posts asking questions that are answered in the FAQ. It has a lot of good community answers, so you will most likely find your answer here.
Posts related to Fallout. Comments related to Fallout are allowed. I only say this because I want this subreddit to lean more towards actually collecting and getting information on caps, rather than memes.
Stories.
Motivational posts that happen to involve bottle caps .
Anything not involved with actually collecting caps or collecting information on caps.
Very frequent posting (i.e. don't post something every day or two)
Nothing related to non fungible tokens (NFTs)
No posts that are not tailored to this subreddit. Basically, if you have submitted the same post to a bunch of other subreddits, it is not tailored to this subreddit and should not be posted.
If you would like to submit something, but are not sure if it is appropriate for this sub, feel free to message one of the mods!
If you want a custom flair (especially if you want to display your CC.I or CCSI identification number), let us know and we will make it for you!

Removing the liner from inside bottle caps?
Hey all,
I like to use stacked mounting tape to display my caps, but it doesn't stick the best to the liner on the inside of most bottlecaps. Does anybody have any recommendations on how to remove the liner?
Cheers.

Rarest Bottle Cap?
I'm sure this is an extreme noob question but is there a bottle cap equivalent of the Honus Wagner baseball card?

Waterfall Beer Bottle Cap
Howdy y'all. I'm trying to figure out something. When I was a kid I liked collecting bottle caps. My favorite was one that was blue with a gold waterfall on it. I think it also had the number 33 on it. Anyone know what this might've been? We're talking late 80s/early 90s.

My collection so far
Been collecting for about 11 odd years, have never set out the collection to see how many unique caps i have, and the amount of caps i pick up has increased drastically from when i started because i was in middle school- ergo couldnt drink, whereas now im basically funding my collection ahaha. Mostly collect because of playing fallout when i was younger and i think theres something about metal bottle caps that needs to be kept, idk.
Theres roughly anywhere from 800-1000 caps in my collection so far, havent counted in a while

What caps you all have?
These are the Caps i own! Tell me how many of these you have and which ones. To make it easier just say the number of the cap you have. 1. Is top left corner and then 2 is to the right and then so on.
