Andy at Vintage Tube Services has the real deal. The idea that there are no good NOS tubes out there is patently untrue. As Elizabeth indicated, many private sellers are offing ones they did not like, but the best dealers are getting ones through means others do not have.
The last place I would buy a tube is eBay FWIW. At least not at full price as you will need to sort them.
