Not trying to be snarky, but think it through. If one of them tests out to be the holy grail of tapedom, that proves only that one of them does. And if all of them do -- and this is known in advance -- it will simply double or triple the selling price.
And what's wrong with a modern tape by Emtec? A well-done dupe on 468 sure beats hell out of getting a safety master made on Ampex 406 or 456 and suffering through its inevitable sticky shed. As one poster notes, a dupe that's several generations away from an original master can sound altogether awesome. I know this for a fact, myself.
So why don't you bid on one ore more and give us your feedback. That's what I'm going to do if I win one, which is a big "if." Won't help the other tape nuts, though, since it only applies to these particular tapes and the auctions will be over :-)
