and Welcome to my website, BeerCanWorld.Com 

My name is Greg Stinsa, and I'd like to take a moment to introduce myself and tell you a bit about me and how I became a beer can collector.

 I am happily married to my wife and beer can collecting partner, Christina.  One great thing about my job is that I regularly travel all over the US on business, and this has helped me immeasurably in the hobby of collecting beer cans. It means that if I find a can or collection I want, I will often visit the seller's location and simply buy the can or collection right on the spot!  As you can see, I take my hobby very seriously!   

I began collecting beer cans around the time of the nation's bi-centennial celebration in 1976.  I was just a teenager then, attending junior high school in the Midwest.  A lot of kids and grownups were collectors then... in fact it was almost as popular then as collecting sports cards is now!  When I left to attend college in the '80s, I boxed up my collection and left it at my parent's home for storage.  During college, and for about six years after college, I completely lost interest in collecting beer cans, and I simply spent time starting my business career. Then, while on vacation one summer, I wandered into an antique store and found a cache of beer cans from the '40's.  I bought those beer cans on the spot, and found myself hooked all over again!  I had rediscovered the wonderful world of beer can collecting, a hobby full of wonderful people with great traditions.

My vintage beer can collection has grown immensely over the years and now numbers several thousand cans.  I collect beer cans from all over the world.  I stick mostly with Flat Tops and Cone Tops, but I am always interested in any old or rare beercan from just about anywhere. Not sure what I mean by "Flat Tops" and "Cone Tops"? Take a moment and visit my page on Beer Can Lingo.

Please feel free to browse my site, and whether you are selling one beer can or a collection, either yours or from an estate, call me toll-free at 866-200-5803.  I ALWAYS pay top dollar from quality cans!

When you're done browsing, I'd love to have you use this form to send me questions or comments.

Remember, if you want to learn a bit more about beer cans, click here to visit 'Beer Can Lingo'.  There, I provide explanations, definitions, and even a bit of  history about beer cans and beer can collecting.  There are pictures too, so you can easily describe any cans you might have for sale.

Thanks for visiting!
