Jim Beam Corvette Decanters

These Corvette decanters are very, very cool.  But to be honest they have tanked in value over the last 10 years.  In 1999 I paid over $900 for the black 1968 IAJBBSC, which is the 3rd rarest Jim Beam Corvette in existence.  While the values have dropped, I am optimistic these bottles will rebound.  And if they don't, I will enjoy rounding out my personal collection simply because I love them and have been fascinated by the bottles from the beginning.
 

Several years ago I did a lot of work to research every Corvette Jim Beam bottle ever made from Regal China.  Below is my best understanding of what is out there.
