Hello,
I don't know if any collectors are in here, but I have some original Billy Beer, that came from Plains, Georgia. It was brewed by Billy Carter, the brother of President Jimmy Carter. I have five (5) full cans. This is was purchased when Jimmy Carter was President. Anyone interested in purchasing it from me?
I don't think it was actually brewed by Billy himself. I think he had some brewery do it, maybe Miller.

No, it wasn't. Some other brewery brewed it, put his name on it and IIRC hired him as a spokesman, capitalizing on the bit of noteriety he had for a while.
That's what eBay's for, no?

FWIW, there are millions of these cans floating around, both empty and full. If you can find a suc^Wbuyer for them you're likely to get $0.05-$0.10/can for an empty and maybe $0.20-$0.25/can for a full one in mint condition.
Unless you find a real fanatic -- there must be at least one or two out there -- in which case you might actually get as much as $3.00 for all five cans, providing you pay shipping charges.
But don't believe me -- ask in one of the collecting newsgroups, like alt.collecting.breweriana.
