Topps 1969 - 2009 Complete Set Prices

I had some extra time this week (or maybe too much time) so I did some searching on ebay for completed sales of Topps complete sets. I have all the sets from 1969 - 2008 (the '09 set should arrive in a few weeks) and I was curious as to how much they were currently worth.

I took the first five sales prices from the completed sale list for each set year and averaged them. This unscientific method doesn't take card condition into consideration, but most sets are at least in at least ex. condition.

The first chart is from 1969 - 1989 and the second from 1990 - 2009.






And here are the prices in a list.
