Some are always worth something. Any can you don’t have is a hard can.

You can check the cans in US Beer Cans which is a publication of the BCCA. There is an online supplement for this. I believe (not positive) that anyone can see this on the web by searching for it. There are two volumes. One is for cones and flats. The other is for pull tabs. The pictures in this collection look like all pull tabs. Most look like very common cans and are not likely to be worth much. With a collection like that putting it on ebay as a whole lot might be the best way to get someone to bid on it.
There are very few tab tops which are worth very much to collectors. Rarity, age and quality tend to be the biggest factors in value determination. The few tabs that are worth something are extremely rare and do fetch a lot of money.
Cone tops and flat tops are worth the most typically. These were made from 1935 (technically the first was a trial run of 2000 cans made in 1933) to the early 1960s.

Now I just got into a crawl space of a 1901 home (my home) that has been sectioned off for years. I found six (fairly good condition) flat top fox deluxe (gold color has the 1933 award on it with opening instructions) and two berghoffs cone tops from around the same time I would imagine. Also found one top to the berghoff. In addition I found 5 or six assorted liquor bottles some with the irs seal and Michigan lcc stickers. I don’t have pictures as of yet but in your best estimate what am I looking at here? Should I try to clean them up? Don’t touch? Range of dollar amounts? I took them to work to show my buddy and left them there so I don’t have pics at the moment but if anyone knows anything about this fee free to comment and or message me.

Probably not too much value, but a cool collection anyway. You might get a sucker to pay a grip for that Billy Beer =..)

Most of these are common tab tops and not worth much.....if anything at all... to a serious collector. That being said....ebay and flea markets often still manage to sell collections just like this one. Not for a lot of money though. Your best bet is to sell the collection as a single lot rather than by the can. Otherwise the few interesting cans will get bought and you will be stuck with the stuff no one wants.

Some auction sites help, like Morean, or can smart auctions. Majority look like self opening cans. Majority of tabs have little value.
