Value is going to be greatly dependent on how bad the unprotected bearing edges are dinged up. Oftentimes, these situations require edges to be re-cut, which will depreciate the drums by as much as 50%, as it takes away from their originality.

Chrome on steel supraphonic 1965 S/N wouldn't be very likely. What little I know shows only available in 1965 as a Ludaloy shell directly under chrome (without the customary Copper under Nickel bonding layers). Your supraphonic image shows exposed oxidized aluminum under the chrome at a position about 5 o'clock from your badge and below the bead - which eliminates an earlier brass shell that might have somehow ended up with that badge, I guess. Plus hear tell, the brass would be considerably heftier than the Luddy version. How's the condition of the chrome flaking or pitting around the rest of her?

Fingers crossed on those exposed edges, brother. Hope they come thru for you. Nice kit.

Edges actually look great. The snare has quite a bit of acne although still chrome covered and shiny. the other drums have absolutely perfect wrap with nit a scratch. So the snare is described as a supraphonic with a luddaloy shell?

Yeah, thanks for the info. I am only helping a friend who is even more ebay ignorant than me (bling leading the blind i guess) But I will put them up on ebay and see what happens.
