How rare is a red 8" Pearl Export/World Series tom from the 80's? How much is a fair price?
I'm asking because I want to add the final piece (okey, after an 18" floor tom and an extra kick..) to my Pearl World Series kit. From what I understand Pearl didn't make a whole lot of 8" World Series toms. So if one would come up on ebay, I probably won't afford it. So my idea was to get an Export from the same period instead.
I've been looking at pictures and it looks like the Export line and World Series used the same lugs, no? And the finish looks really similar too. So I think I would be able to get away with it.
What do you boys and girls think?
