I found this extremely rare bookmark on eBay hidden in a group of junk drawer items for 20 dollars buy it now. I recently had this appraised at 800-1000 dollars by a well known Dr Pepper collector. It's worth over 2000 if it were in mint condition. It includes the Dr pepper the year round logo which came before the king of beverages logo in 1905. This is absolutely the rarest item in my Dr Pepper collection.

I have been a huge Dr. Pepper collector for 15 years and have only seen 3 of these. Usually you find them in this condition. There was one that sold on eBay for around $1,800 I think. The one that sold was in mint condition! You can type it in and look it up on completed listings on eBay. I think this one would go for around $500-$800. It's a very rare piece and I would hold on to it because one day it will really be worth a lot of money! Great piece! Keep it up....
