Okay, not really wanting to start a flame war, but I could use advice from the forum. As I posted elsewhere, I'm kinda looking for a 1970s Ludwig set to replace the one I had in high school (and my ex made me sell.) But I'll be honest, I don't remember much about what was available then as far as models were concerned... in jr high it was Ludwig, Slingerland and "eh, others..." I didn't know or care that it was a Hollywood, Club, etc... it was a LUDWIG when my schoolmates were paying used MIJ sets.
I've stumbled into this somewhat pricey set on reverb: https://reverb.com/item/23409338-ludwig-hollywood-1971-red-sparkle-4-pc-drum-set
Okay, it's pricey, but it's gorgeous. Same wrap as my old set, similar badges, etc. It appears to be in great condition or better. I would not gig it, my plans would be to play occasionally at home and just stare at it while mentally reliving my high school/college glory days.
So my questions: is this set potentially collectible and might retain/go up on value? I'm in my mid 50s and could easily keep it a couple of decades. Is it worth the rather high price?
I would truly appreciate thoughts and opinions. Thank you!
