Coca-Cola bottle collection hot initial signs
The fables of “buying a beggar and returning a bead†is a household name, and this type of investment is also circulated in the collection industry. There is indeed a group of collectors who have not bought the Coca-Cola for the purpose of enjoying delicious beverages, but for collecting Coca-Cola bottles and cans. Although for the vast majority of people, after drinking Coca-Cola beverages, throwing bottles and cans is a matter of course. However, in the eyes of those eye-loving collectors of Coca-Cola bottles, these Coca-Cola cans are the treasures of the “Delicious Dearerâ€.
Although China's Coca Cola cans collection activity has only just emerged, and still few people know. However, in the United States, Coca-Cola's hometown, Coca-Cola cans have long been a collection of a large number of collectors. As far as the current overall situation is concerned, American collectors are more interested in collecting Coca-Cola glass bottles, and European collectors are interested in Coca-Cola cans. As far as the status quo of Chinese Coca-Cola cans collection is concerned, the more mature regions are certainly none other than Hong Kong and Taiwan. Since around 2000, only rare collectors in mainland China began to enter the collection of Coca-Cola bottles and cans. In fact, this is also the reason why the early production of Coca-Cola bottles in mainland China was difficult and expensive. Fortunately, after 2002, the collection of Coca-Cola bottles and bottles gradually gained recognition from more and more collectors. For example, in 2002, collectors *** founded China’s first personal Coca-Cola collection and collection center, the *** Coca-Cola Collection. In addition, he also founded the China Coca-Cola Fun Club. Of course, due to various reasons, only the Coca-Cola bottles and cans in Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou, and Shenzhen are currently in a slightly cooler climate. However, in any case, the collection of Coca-Cola bottles and jars has apparently begun to take off.
Coca-Cola bottle collection: benefits without investment
Since most people do not have the habit of preserving bottles and cans after drinking Coca-Cola beverages, many Coca-Cola bottles and bottles with distinctive themes remain in the world, which is an important reason why prices continue to rise. For example, the “2008 China Print†hardcover welcomes the Olympic Coca-Cola cans in August 2003 at a price of 1.7 yuan per can, and the current market price has risen to around 20 yuan; 2004 “Athens Olympic Torch Olympic Torch Beijing Olympic Torch Relay†Coca-Cola bottle The price in June 2004 was 9.9 yuan per bottle, and the current market price is around 30 yuan. In general, the price of Coke bottles is generally higher than the price of Coke cans. Those with very few circulations or Coke cans labeled as “not for sale†will have higher prices. For example, in 2002, Coca-Cola's tenth anniversary in Beijing, Coke cans sold for around 300 yuan. In 1992, the price of the first Coca-Cola cans produced by Beijing Coca Cola had already exceeded the 1,000 yuan mark. At the dawn of the new millennium, the Coca-Cola company once produced a batch of 12 Zodiac commemorative cans. The price of 12 sets of zodiac commemorative cans was even more prosperous in Hong Kong at HK$3,000, and the total price was less than 30 years ago. Yuan, appreciation hundred times.
Since the success of Beijing’s bid for the Olympics in 2001, Coca-Cola (China) Beverage Co., Ltd. has started issuing Olympic series commemorative cans. Although "Beijing's successful bid for the Olympics" commemorates the circulation of gold cans as many as 720,000. However, the supply is still tight in the current market, the price has already risen to about 100 yuan. Although the price of the “Olympic emblem†coke cans that debuted in 2004 was only around RMB 15, it has also begun to attract the attention of collectors. According to investigations, 10% of the merchants in the Madian postal card market in Beijing have been operating Coke cans, and there are more and more merchants engaged in them. The popular variety of the collectibles market is basically a limited-edition collector's edition of the Coca-Cola Company in honor of certain events. Many of the current Coca-Cola cans with a price of RMB 1.6 or RMB 1.7 have been generally fired at RMB 7 or RMB 8 in the collectibles market. Yang Ye, a staff member of the Madian postal card market, revealed that although the current stamps, coins, and magnetic card operators are mostly in a state of loss, the operations of the Coke cans business have basically no losses, and some have also dug out A bucket of gold."
For the collection of Coca-Cola bottles and cans, Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou and Shenzhen have unique advantages. Beijing is the capital of China, Shanghai has the headquarters of the Coca-Cola (China) company, Guangzhou has the Guangdong Taikoo headquarters, and Shenzhen is adjacent to Hong Kong. Therefore, in the collection process, collectors in these places need to spend the least money and effort. Since Coca-Cola companies in other regions have to consider the cost of packaging, a set of 4 packages is often only one of them, and a set of 6 to 8 packages tends to introduce only 2 to 4 of them. For collectors in these areas, the cost of collecting Coca-Cola bottles is obviously much higher. However, in any case, for collectors, after they drink a perfect Coca-Cola beverage, keeping the Coca-Cola bottle instead of just throwing it away is a good way to invest. It really is. Very tempting choice.
For friends who plan to collect Coca-Cola bottles, water discharge and preservation are the two most important links. This is because if the cola beverage is kept in the container, the bottle will be corroded more or less (especially for the can's phase). In general, there are mainly three methods for releasing water:
The first method is to pull the pull ring of the Coca Cola can directly. Most foreign collectors use this method, which is to directly open the pull ring and drink beverages;
The second method is to use a nail to make two small holes symmetrically in the inner circle of the bottom of the Coca Cola aluminum can, and then release the cola drink;
The third method is to turn the ring of the Coca-Cola can into the hidden place, then make a hole beside the dot on the ring, and then release the cola drink.
In addition, it should be pointed out that after the release of water, be sure to rinse the bottle with clean water. Otherwise, stinking and corroding cans are inevitable. The last step is to wait until the bottle is dry, wipe it clean, and wrap it in cling film. As a result, the release and preservation of the Coca-Cola bottle will be completed!
Coca-Cola bottle collection of cultural motivation
Coca-Cola, which has a history of nearly 120 years, was created by American pharmacist Pemberton in a backyard with a paddle and a large copper pot. The Coca-Cola that was produced in the early years was made by mixing a cup of plain boiled water with a spoonful of syrup. One day, the newly invited assistant accidentally mixed carbonated soda with Coca Cola to create a “new formula†and praised the customer. Since then, this type of beverage with Coke syrup and carbonated water has become popular all over the world. And from 1894 onwards, it began selling in bottles. However, it is the two American lawyers who really made Coca-Cola's rapid development. They bought syrup from the then owner of Coca-Cola company, Jane Duning, and purchased the production equipment themselves. They set up sales outlets, dived, bottling, and sold syrup. The Coca-Cola Company allowed them to use Coca-Cola's trademark, and they produced according to Coca-Cola's quality requirements. This kind of creative cooperation scheme makes the Coca-Cola processing factory bloom everywhere.
In fact, as many collectors have pointed out, the collection of Coca-Cola bottles is both a collection of products and a collection of cultures (the two major cultures of the United States are the Coca-Cola culture and the Hollywood culture). The design and manufacture of Coca-Cola bottles and cans are very exquisite, with a very strong flavor of the times. In general, the themes of Coca Cola bottles can be divided into Olympic grand occasions, sports stars, film and television singers, and major events. The major categories. In recent years, Coca-Cola (China) Beverage Co., Ltd. has also launched many series of promotional packaging, such as the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games series, sports stars series, film and television singer series, New Year series, Christmas series, and so on.

As a sports host, Li Weijian often has the opportunity to go abroad. Everywhere he went, he had to find ways to collect limited edition Coca-Cola cans with local characteristics.

This "Golden Bottle" is modeled on the traditional glass bottle design of Coca-Cola. The most distinctive feature is the gold plating of the whole body, and there are 10,000 limited editions worldwide. At that time, Li Weijian went to Atlanta for an interview. After visiting the local Coke Museum, he was lucky enough to buy one. Today, every time he remembers, he is still excited.
