Can Credits !!........send us new issue cans and we will give you 1 Can Korner Credit for each can you send us. This credit can be used towards cans on our trading list or "banked" towards new issue cans we receive. A few things to remember.... 1 credit is worth a current 75 cent can off our list, 2 credits worth 2 currents or one $1.25 obsolete can. We will accept no more than 6 of any new can for credit, but you must e-mail us first before sending more than one. You can e-mail us first to ensure credit will be received on your cans. You DO NOT have to be a member of the BCCA to send us cans: all are welcome to send cans, including our international readers.

Name of Brewer: Labatt Brewing Company
Reported By & BCCA Membership Number: Ted Bartolacci, #30321
Date First Seen in Store: December 2, 1998
Store/City/State: Brewers Retail Stores in Ontario, Toronto, Canada
Size of Can: 12 oz.
Reporter has available for trade: Singles
Comments: This is a 33 can set commemorating the Superbowl. Cans #1, #2, #8 and #11 were currently available in Ontario Beer Stores in early December. They are also available in British Columbia. This will most likely be a hard set to get in its entirty since it will be released in 8 waves of 4 cans each followed by an issue of 1 can for Superbowl 33. Once they move to the next set they will not be reissuing previous cans.
