Topps 1969 - 2012 Complete Set Prices

Here is my monthly look at set prices for all the year in which I have a complete Topps set, 1969 - 2012.

The general trend is that prices dropped again this month.  I wonder if the number of buyers goes down at the end of the baseball season, as some may tire of the season.  Fewer buyers mean fewer bidders and lower prices.

There were a couple of purchases that show the how lazy some ebay buyers can be.  Sets from both 2002 and 2006 were bought for $69.95 each, but Buy It Now prices.  The other 2002 sets averaged about $22 and the '06 sets went for about the same.  But those were auctions, so the lazy and impatient buyers spent almost triple the auction price to get their set now.  And I'm sure the sellers that listed the sets at the inflated price and just let them sit there were thrilled.

The price to buy one of each set  was $5,704.24.  That's $270.07 less than a month ago and $1,094.49 below the price from just two months ago.
