I don't know if this is called "top-posting", but I backed up to reply here.

As the tube is used, usually more "crap" gases would un-disolve from the metal
elements. This would usually cause a brown, or lighter ring around the getter.

A nice shiny getter is a good indicator, but not 100%.

If you can't test them but want to sell them it's a piece of info that might
help.
