WWII vintage tubes command a premium, especially the metal based Sylvania 6SN7W tubes. Do a search on everyone's favorite auction site for "6SN7 tube" and use the advanced function to look at the sold items. There were NOS pairs of the metal based Sylvania 6SN7W tubes that went for $350-$450. Also, google "6SN7 reviews/shootout". Lot of opinions out there....
