Very Good. (N/A). A bit like the Duff beer cans, these were way overhyped in the 1980s with initial sales being very high. However, that was very short lived as people soon began to realise that there were large numbers of these things around. A collectable item it is, but not rare. This was never opened with the ring pull, it was punctured through the base to drain the contents, which were quite ordinary! Billy Carter was Jimmy Carter's brother, a big drinker who was recruited to promote this beer. Years later he declared that Billy Beer was the reason why he gave up drinking, it was that bad! This can has some dints and stains but is quite solid. A good talking point. Estimate: $5-10
