I recall the pain of finding a cap with a significant bend caused by the bottle opener. Much less appealing the ones that would lay flat.

Anything non-coke is uncommon, at least around here. I have the whole Boston baseball set from 67 and most of a 68 set. The 67s I'm getting close to having complete from around 8 different bottling plants.

And none of them are anything but coke.

Football is different for some reason.

My best guess in order
Sprite
Fanta root beer
Fresca

I could be wrong about the last two, but I'm pretty sure root beer outsold Fresca in the areas that sold it.

Default Difficulty

So as mentioned anything non coke is tough. There is a comprehensive thread on these somewhere on this site - it had a checklist of different backs - more than most would believe if you haven't seen it. From memory:

King size coke - probably as tough as sprite
Sprite - next easiest after coke
King Size Sprite - VERY tough
Tab (different variations) - 4th easiest after fresca
King Size Tab - super tough
Fresca (different variations) - 3rd after sprite
Fanta grape - super tough
Fanta Root Beer - super tough
Fanta Orange - super tough
There are also some "special" coke ones - Kosher, Kosher for Passover - 1 I think from a particular state with a map outline on the cap, etc.

likely a couple more I've missed

I am looking for some of the tougher Clemente variations if anyone has

For spending money for cards when I was a kid I used to pick up pop bottles from ditches and cash them in at the local store in South Vancouver. The owners got to know me quite well,and I also shovelled snow from the front of their store for fifty cents. They knew I was going to buy cards or Sgt. Fury comics in their store right after they paid me. Smart. They also gave me the key to their pop machine to get the CFL caps in 1965. The pop machine was a slider, so if you were buying a Coke or a Sprite, you could see who was on the cap, and with careful manipulation of the botles in the sliders, you could always get the one you wanted. I know I put together at least four sets (230 in a set) and still have a couple of large bags of leftovers........yeah, I'm a packrat. Love those caps though....thanks for bringing back the memories!

You must be a bit older than me Grant, but I remember looking for the pop bottles in alleys and ditches to get that 2 cents per bottle! Then using that money for cards, candy, or cokes. I remember these bottle caps, but could never hope to get more than a couple. I remember my neighbor though having a large collection of these (only child, his dad spoiled him). Wish I could have gotten more back then!

Born in '51, and yes, two cents a bottle was huge if you could find 10 of them........that translated into four packs of cards, not to mention the bonus gum......what a bonanza!

Default tougher caps

I would think "TAB" would be one of the tougher ones. It was one of the first diet sodas and well before when people really cared.
