Hello,
I was given a set of 10 Whataburger Yellow Rose of Texas 150th Birthday Glasses and a matching pitcher as a gift. I was told to "hold on to them".
I am trying to find out if they really are a collectors set or just normal everyday use glasses.
Would anyone know where I would go to confirm?
Thanks!

Do a Google search... your question is the first I found... hehehe
They have someone on eBay that normally carries that stuff... you might want to try to contact him...
His store: Snapper Collectibles

I found a set of these glasses on this website, the 6th item down : Coca Cola Glass And Coke Glasses For Sale (http://www.drinkinglass.com/dgcoke.html)
They appear to be selling for $7.00 a piece, so a set of 10 could go for $70.00 (depending on the condition of them of course).
I could not find the pitcher, but it of course would go for more than $7.00. Do you have a picture of the set?
You can try taking it to an antiques dealer and see what they think. Glasses like this have become popular in the collectors world, and I'm sure the matching pitcher is a gem as well. I personally collect Coca-Cola glasses and they are wonderful! :)
**EDIT** - I would definitely say this is a collector's set, and I wouldn't use them daily to ensure they stay in good shape.

nauticalstar420 agrees: Good job finding the pitcher. I couldnt find it anywhere! :)
Hey, thanks for the positive rating! Doing an image search also helps a lot of times with also changing the search terms around a little bit.
