Words can't say enough of what the BCCA Product Development Team has recently added to the BCCA USBC Supplemental....There are now International cans and Tin-Over-Cardboards posted in the BCCA USBC Supplement. Not everything is up and running but it is definitely moving forward....

The International cans are coming straight from Tom Hoffman's collection. The layout is a little different as you can see below. There are two ways to search. One is by types (flat, cone, etc.). Not completely sure if there will be a 5 way view of each can. The 2d search is by name of the beer/ale. This will give you all five views as you can see in the image below.

The other addition is the TOCs that were added. This are all focused currently on Missouri and were provided by Mr. Don Roussin. There are as many as 400 that will eventually be posted.....plan is to eventually get more added and not just from Missouri...

Please if you see any one from the Product Development Team Bruce Gregg #248, Jim Wolf @JKW #16033, John Page @J. Page #24671, Tom Waggoner #17977, Mike Newton #30934, Tom Hoffman @foreigncanman #27960, Jerry Cole @Uncle Jackson #953, Jeff Galloway @alluscans #15987 and Ron Gregg at any of the shows you attend, PLEASE go up and thank them. Also if you have cans that are not in any of the Supplements, PLEASE bring them to a show that you know will have the imaging box present.....

Oh and thank them for being RBers as well!!!

Should have another 10000 pics up very soon and some fine tuning of the sorting of the cans.Loved seeing the Missouri TOCs . This will hopefully be the start of many different BCCA categories. Im getting the cans from several collections as I have been to Jeff Lebos and have others in the works. Tom

Bringing 2 to Albuquerque for photographing. Freakin Amazing is putting it mildly for the work they're doing.

If there's interest, between Joe Older and myself, we're darn near complete on West Virginia. Who's the lead on TOCs?

For those interested in international cans about 10000 more pictures have been added in the past 4 days. The supplement sites were not designed ofr smartphones but often work. I was able to get mine working nicely on my LG7 phone. We should be adding another 5000 photos shortly after convention. Tom

Tom,
Thanks for the update. The numbers you quote are staggering! This will be an outstanding addition to the Supplements. I realize this is the early stages and fine tuning is down the road. Your collection is spectacular. Thank you for sharing it with us and thank you for the time and effort you put into this project. You make this Hobby so much better!

The most important thing is that this should lead to more and more projects. I'm really looking forward to future can breweriana projects. I think these projects are the key to the future of our hobby. While there will still be collectors in the future without our input our knowledge will be lost.The BCCA may move slowly at times but I think things are moving in the right direction.

Gotta give the new Foreign Can Supplement a big attaboy! Just picked up two Labatt cans for my minor foreign niche and was able to find them in the Supplement along with finding out the years they were in use.
