Toughest is defined any way the voter chooses. Recommend that distinctions like WF, OD, JSpout, volume are legit distinctions......but canning codes, 2 patents, seam type, vanity lid etc be excluded.
As not many finds of really rare cans have surface since the last tourny, I see this as pretty much a repeat. I'd like to see this tourny format combined with the what is your holy grail question, with the final outcome not deciding the toughest can again (will the results really be much different?), but rather highlighting the most highly desired cans.

Why drive 12 hour one way to dig Pre-Tax Tru Blu ales, Genny 12 Horse Longopeners, Gamecock Ales, Apollos, Neuweilers Bock, and Krueger’s Baldies when you can locally drive 10 hours round trip and dig Pfeiffer, Goebel, Drewrys and Strohs?
Is that the Schmidts Natural Quart or No Sugar Quart
FAVORITE SAYING: WHY DUMP LOCALLY & FIND PROGRESS O/I's WHEN I CAN DRIVE A THOUSAND MILES AND FIND NOTHING.
NOT SO FAVORITE SAYING: SOME CRAZY RICH CLOWN OUTBID ME
ANOTHER SAYING: LIGHTS ARE ON BUT NOBODY'S HOME?

Hmmm....could do 30+ easily, all worthy of inclusion, didn't even get all of the "believed to be unique" cans, but got a few with three known that I like a lot.
With disadvantage of not knowing what the ___ I’m talking about but am upset I didn’t ‘dig’ deeper during Genke auction and buy that Carling’s military drab cone.
I would like to make entry in the tourney with that.
And to borrow from Bantam; "I am old but know too much".
I'd rather have a free bottle in front of me than a prefrontal lobotomy
