Are all of these NOS tube inventories real? How have we not consumed them already?

As I've been shopping for new tubes for my preamp, I've really begun to wonder, wouldn't the current and recent population of audiophiles of the last few decades have bought and used up most or all of these vintage NOS goodies from all of the current inventory, secret stashes and newly discovered cases of NOS...?

What's your take?

"new old stock in white boxes" you should be wary. Especially if these NOS are not military (JAN) tubes. A box doesnt prove that the tube is NOS, but the lack of an original box usually is very telling.

I find this to be true, of all the tubes I have purchased the only one that failed was one that didn't have an original box.
