I recently acquired a large collection of parts from a long time Corvette guy. I was wondering if someone could help me determine if the center caps I acquired are OEM or considered repops? What is the value?

Re: Bolt On Center Caps
The caps or "starbursts" pictured appear to be OEM SECOND GENERATION caps. Original caps had a different manufacturer and logo marking, but looked about the same. I believe that the chrome and colors were a bit better and brighter on the original caps. Mfg logo for original caps is "hc": the mfg logo for second generation caps is "pmc"
That being said, the caps pictured are very very sought after and likely would sell for about $400-500 EACH.
I was able to source excellent condition original caps a long time ago at Bloomington. I remember being offered excellent original vs new in box second edition caps, and picking the original ones as being better quality. Purchased from Dave Cosner. I believe I paid $500 for four at the time........around 1997.
