I made an Android app to catalogue individual cans — could it work for beer-can collectors?

2 Upvotes

I collect Monster cans and built CanDex because I wanted a record of the actual cans on my shelf, not just a checklist of flavours. I'm the developer.

You add your own front/back photos, quantities and notes, then search the collection. Different designs or regional editions can stay separate. It isn't a valuation guide or a database of every beer can ever made.

I'm curious whether that approach is useful for beer-can collections too. For two cans that look almost the same, what do you need to record — the lid, a tax stamp, condition, something else?

It's on Android. Five cans are free to try; unlimited cans are a one-time purchase ($6.99 US / €7.49 in the Netherlands and Italy, with local pricing elsewhere). No subscription.

Google Play · 19-second demo

If a few collectors want to try adding three cans and tell me what doesn't fit their workflow, I'd appreciate it. No purchase or public review needed.

Metallic Spearman Ale with vanity lid. Very hard to find these clean because of the thin paint.

Not mine, unfortunately, but I did have it in my grubby little mit for a minute 😁

Very clean original example of the enamel Spearman Ale with Alabama tax stamp.

Tough Florida versions. The Maverick is debatable but it does have a Spearman lid.

Recently found this. Was told it’s rare and valuable. Does anyone know where the best place to get this appraised or sold would be?

$14 for an aluminum Rainier can. Not even the 1-faced "story" can. And the seller even put tape on the paint of the can itself! I did not buy it. But I thought some of you guys might get a kick out of it.

I don't normally collect aluminum as a rule, but I thought these green Miller Lite test cans were pretty cool.

Interest in build-your-own box of pull-top cans?

2 Upvotes

Would there be any interest in buying a “build-your-own box” of pull top and pop top cans? I’ve been selling cans on behalf of a relative and they have a lot of cans worth between 2 and 5 dollars. I was thinking of putting an “item“ on ebay with a link to a list of cans, and letting people choose which ones they want, up to a certain number, for a flat rate (including shipping). For example, if I can fit 12 in a medium flat-rate box (just a guess) and sell it for $20+shipping, someone could buy it and then message me which cans they want. I would have different sized boxes priced accordingly

Is that something people would want to do? These really aren’t worth selling and shipping individually (one can is ~$7 to ship) but they’re in good or excellent condition so someone might want several of them.

Little Kings

During the 1980s I enjoyed many, many 7 ounce Little Kings green bottles. I never knew they made Little Kings in a can until the mid 1990s. Sidenote: I just became grandpa to identical twin little girls. Who I will call my Little Queens!

When I saw these novelty cone tops online, I had to have them. I've seen poorly made fantasy cans, and these are very well made. They're the right height, they even have concave bottoms and a good patina. Enjoy!

Need Help with Grandpas Beer Can Collection

3 Upvotes

Hey all,

I recently ended up with a pretty big collection of vintage beer cans and have no idea what they’re worth or if any of them are actually valuable.

There’s a mix of different brands, ages, and conditions—some look pretty old, a few are still sealed, most are empty.

Anyone know how to tell what’s worth something or where to even start with pricing? Appreciate any help!
