<p>[QUOTE="TIF, post: 3535728, member: 56859"]That is a very complicated question. So much depends on not just wear but centering, strike, surfaces, artistry, presence or absence of test cuts, etc-- and the different eras of owl tets make a huge difference. The later tets (the "profile eye" and eastern imitations) are generally much less expensive, although the even later "new style" owl tets jump up a bit. There are just so many of these that it is hard to give a simple answer.
