Does it matter what the frequency of the surplus crystal is?

I am reminded that my stock of FT-243 and HC-6/U crystals on oddball frequencies is dwindling again.? Here at AF4K Crystals, I use them for rebuilding onto useful frequencies.

Does anyone have a stockpile of such vintage crystals?? They look like this:
?
FT-243 -?? May have a bakelite or metal front cover.
?
HC-6/U?????????? Can only use the ones with a soldered seam.?

Both have pins spaced about 1/2 inch (0.486")

Let me know what you have and we can discuss how I can get them here for? reuse by current operators.? Reuse is the best form of recycling, right?
