Gretsch round badge value

Loading...

Hello everyone!

First post here. Just getting into the vintage drum thing, though I've always had a soft spot for them old Gretch drums, now is the first time I'll probably get my hands on some. Just wanted to check with you guys about the estimated value, so I don't get ripped off.

The drums are a set of Gretsch round badges in midnight blue pearl. Not sure about the exact production year, but 60's (exact year can be found when I get my hands on the serials right?). Sizes 22-13-16. Good condition, original parts. No extra holes or modifications. Stickers, badges and mufflers all in great shape. Only "drawback" is a loose wrap seam on the 13".

What do you think price wise?

I have to buy them without seeing them personally, which is a risk for sure, but it's just not possible for me. Someone else is doing it, and I'm sending them instructions to what to check for: making sure the shells are round and bearing edges intact, hardware okay etc. Anything else?

Cheers.

With no pictures you are taking that risk that most of us don`t anymore. You`re flipping the same coin, call it in the air.

What`s he want for them ? The seam is very fixable. The floor tom with hidden screws on the diamond plate may be a few years earlier.
