I've never really been concerned with condition, since I just collect the ones with Hank Aaron. I have seen a few unused caps. I suppose a bottle cap collector would be more concerned with condition than a player collector. I just think they are a just another fun way to get vintage pieces to go along with my Aaron cards. I am always looking for some I don't have. One comes up every now and then - I picked up a Coke 16 ounce cap this morning.
