    Came across a case of gumballhead today and all the bottles had plain black caps on them and not the usual fff design. Just curious if anyone's else has came across this

    I picked up a sixer of GH and ZD each last week; all black caps. Must be a new thing or they are in between orders on their standard caps.

    They're switching suppliers and are using these black ones until the new ones come in.

    Better hold onto it, because it's one of the variant caps. The hologram caps are the really hard to get ones, though. Look out for those! They'll be as valuable as issues of X-Force #1 :wink:

    Oh yeah, and they're switching suppliers as noted above.

    Because black is more metal.

    I bought X-O Manowar #0 back in the day, it had a foil cover. I ended up selling for $400 in like, 2005.

    Looks like you sold it off just in time. Quick ebay search shows significantly lower prices.

    @aasher told me the black caps were probably most likely almost definitely pappy barrel aged beers. I have been iso'ing pappy ZD super hard since he told me that.

    This has been happening with FFF as well? Trying to target the .rar market that founders started. I got Backwoods, Harvest and breakfast stout with black caps this year...

    Maybe this is the beginning of a conspiracy?! Next thing you know we'll have plain white or plain black labels. Then what do we do?
