I can see the dregs now cherry-picking the Pete Roses and Tom Seavers at the local 7-11.

I think I have 6-7 different Garvey cans with the different bottling plant locations. I would chase these more seriously, but they are pricy to ship and usually are overpriced singles or giant lots with $30+ s/h charges!!

Hey now, I resemble that remark!

Only it was rice and Yaz I looked for, or ones I didn't have.
70 in 1977, but not numbered.
100 numbered in 78
In between
70 football
35 basketball which are not as easy as you'd think. Fewer places had them.

I'm still a few short on 78s, and not all that close on either Fb o basketball.

I don't have them any more, but I clearly remember having many cans with a non-pull tab top. It was two pre-punched holes (one larger, one smaller) that you pushed in to open the can.

Yes it caused many cut fingers. Probably why it never took off. Here's a news story about them

Neat article, thanks for sharing. I had never seen those types of can tops before.
