98%+ of all 1970's and later pull tab cans have little to no value. The reason for this is that during the 1970's and into the 1980's, beer can collecting was very popular. During this period it seems that most collectors saved cans that they drank by the case to use as "traders", so not only did they have one in their collection, they had a case or more stashed away. As collectors lost interest in the hobby their collections were sold off or passed on to other collectors. With a much smaller number of collectors by 2010, the trickle down of these cans has flooded the collector market. If you have pull tab cans such as Billy Beer, JR, MASH, Harley, Worlds Fair and others, your best bet is to recycle them. I do suggest that you check with a collector before doing this with the bulk of your cans though, because there are a good number of more valuable pull tabs out there. If you've got flat tops, cone tops, quarts or gallons (as pictured on this page), well then you at least have the right age of cans, now we just need to find out which ones. Cans of these types will range in value from $1 to $5000+. Of course most cans will fall on the lower end of the scale, but there are some rare gems out there that can bring big dollars.
