People will seem to accept wabi / patina / age on the older ones (40's and 50's), but NOS / mint seems to be the order of the day for the 60's / 70's guys. On the older ones, shown below, I suspect that premium for Mint is not so huge (compared with the price for an average sample). Not so, for the Silverstones (and Carreras and Monacos).
