Wish I had been born with the bottle cap or butterfly collecting gene instead. Alot less expensive

I've got a brother who collects dog "tags" (licenses/registration tags), and from him I hear that it's not unusual to see late 19th century tags sell for several hundreds of dollars apiece. I wouldn't be surprised to hear that some of the earliest Coca-Cola bottle caps in above average condition bring surprisingly high dollars.
