What would be worse, finding a pair of these in an attic that were still in the package and in pristine condition or a pair that were stained and well-worn?

Oh man…it would have been EPIC if Freddie Mercury knew about, and was able to obtain these.

(I assume he didn’t know about and/or wasn’t able to obtain these ’cause I’m sure he woulda worn ‘em if he did.)
