so i just bought what i thought was my "end all-be all" kit.

1965 Ludwig downbeat 12/14/20 with a matching pre-serial 4x14 downbeat snare in sky blue pearl.

now i only bought this kit because a gentlemen who i was supposed to buy another kit from never contacted me.

but (of course) just my luck..he recently called me asking me if i'm still interested in his kit.

he has a 60's Rogers cleavland era set in silver sparkle. i think its 12/16/20 with a 5x14 cob powertone snare.

but let me tell you. his drums are the mintiest drums i have ever seen. not only do they not have a single mark/no pitting of any kind (even on the snare) but they all have the original heads on them and he's including the cymbal l-arm and the original kick pedal and high-hat stand.

i'm 90% sure he's the original owner of the set.

so here in lies the problem..

should i:

A) sell my set to buy his?

B) try to save my butt off and hope he doesn't sell them?

c) keep my set and let this relic go?

i simply cannot decide..

what do you guys think?
