Wonder if Jim Carter would give me discount if I
offered him a complete original set, slightly dinged up and unpolished. (2 spears and 12 fender pieces).
For his complete set.
I doubt J.C. would give you any credit at all on your beat up & dented original set that you have been clutching on too.
You will be better off trying to pawn them off to a dummy that does not know any better than to buy the new ones from J.C.
How many millions of $$$$$ do you expect to get for your dented up original strips & spears ?
