Pennsylvania native Jeff Lebo has been collecting beer cans since he was a child. His father, who worked at American Can Company, brought cans home for him to collect together. Since then, he has collected over 100,000 cans from across the world, and he believes his collection is worth two to three million dollars. On this episode of The Vault, Jeff took us inside his house, built for his collection, and shared some of his favorite cans.

The Guinness Book of World Records recognizes William B. Christensen as having the largest collection with over 75,000 cans. They are currently awaiting evidence to review Lebo’s collection.
The Brewery Collectibles Club of America recognizes Jeff Lebo as having the largest collection in the world with over 100,000 cans. Lebo told Forbes he is open to having his collection counted to be included in the Guinness Book Of World Records.

Bro started talking about the first can ever, and you just cut away instantly. Very professional

I LOVE when I see collections that are beautifully presented rather than just being clumped all throughout the house. Love this!

I collected in the late 1970s, as a teen. If you lived in Ohio, Buckeye cone tops were the Holy Grail. Sadly, I never had one. Thanks for posting this video, Forbes. It brought back a lot of memories: Asahi, Fosters Lager, Coors, Black Label, St. Pauli Girl ... I could go on and on. What a blast!

Rick from Pawn Stars would be like ''Listen, I have to frame all of these cans, they're gonna take up a lot of space in my shop, so my final offer is $150 cash, and you can punch Chumlee in the gut. Take it or leave it.''

I'm not surprised this guy is from PA, I grew up in Bucks County, PA and beer can collecting was really popular when I was a kid. Tons of old breweries in the area, and they drank lots of beer.

I would never do that. I'm bothered if I see a can in my house I have to drink it. I don't save leftovers.

Wow, Sir this is truly amazing . I can See & Hear the Love and Respect you have for The Beer Can and its history.
I'm watching this with tears in my eyes....I love anything Beer related, especially Vintage Beer Brands . Sir, you have got such a beautiful display of beer cans . I'm a collector of Beer Cans ( 36 ) some Bottles ( 21 ) Bottle Caps and Vintage Beer Brand Openers and Beer Steins, Mugs & Glasses ( Mostly Vintage Beer Brands/Logos ) .

"I'm sort of dug in now." 🤔 Understatement of the century. BTW, 3 million is an absurd underestimate, if you've seen the prices lately.
