The Museum Turns 5 Years Old, Part 3: Individual Tap Statistics

It's time to take a look at the individual tap statistics. To revisit the concept, I'm listing which taps generate the most page views on the site. I've divided the rankings based on the year that I profiled the tap, so I've listed the 20 taps with the most views for Year 1, Year 2, Year 3, Year 4, and Year 5. The number in parenthesis is the previous year's ranking if different; "NR" means the tap was not on the list last year. The first tap on the list has the most views, and the other taps follow in descending order.

For the most part the lists stay the same except for 1-3 new entries per year, and some shuffling of ranking order. Year 4 did not have as much of a shakeup as I would have expected. It will be interesting to see how much the Year 5 rankings change next year.

    In your tap commentary, you frequently use terms like "affordable", "reasonably priced", "expensive", "very expensive", etc. Could you please put a dollar amount to these terms or give a range of what you think these terms mean in real money. I know we're all interested in obtaining taps at the lowest possible price, but knowing your opinion of actual market values would be very informative and helpful. Thanks again for your outstanding, state-of-the-art blog. Doug

    Hi Doug,

    I use general terms to describe pricing for each tap not only because it can fluctuate, but also because it has become impossible to keep every post updated with price data. You will find more useful information regarding this topic by joining the Collector's Club.

      Brian,

      I was not so much concerned about prices for individual taps as I was curious as to what you consider "inexpensive", "moderately priced", "expensive", and "very expensive". For myself, I would consider a "new-in-box" or "mint" tap priced at less than $25 (including shipping) to be inexpensive, and a tap priced at over $200 to be very expensive. Of course everybody has their own definitions and one person's expensive tap may be another's inexpensive tap, depending partly on ones disposable funds. I will be joining the Collector's Club where, hopefully, these price points can be more fully discussed.
