That's how it starts. You get one tube by "accident" like that 47 and you realize one 47 isn't going to do you any good. You need a pair for a PP amp and then two more for stereo and a few more as backups, and a few more to make matched pairs, and before you know it you have a shoebox full of 47s and some remote plans to someday make a pair of PP 47 amps.
I wouldn't be too sure about that

And, prices are going only in one diection, investing in tubes is better than gold or stocks.
I remember when CCCP tubes was next to free, how much is a quad 6P14P-EV worth today?
Not to speak of tube testers, a small piece from a Hickok tester may be worth 100 USD today, tomorrow who knows.
And a TV-7 tester, how many 1000 or 10 000 USD is people willing to pay for a non functional, and incomplete tester?
