It was a pretty boring month. The only thing that really stuck out to me were the prices on 1971 sets. The average was over $200 below the 12 month average. It is unusual to see the '71s go down in price, since the black border on the cards makes them tougher to find in good condition, which in turn keeps the prices up.
The price to buy one of each is $6,219.01 and that is about $130 lower than last month.

Kudos on the research. It's fun to watch the 88 and 89 Topps sets battle things out.
ReplyDelete...the battle of the Under $10 sets!
DeleteThis is awesome information, Wrigley. Thanks.
ReplyDeleteI beat the market completing my '77 set!
I've been contemplating on my next vintage set build, especially after all the cards you sent me (again, thank you! I finally got the post up after just getting back home from work travel: http://theunderdogcardcollector.blogspot.com/2013/02/3rd-trade-of-2013-looks-like-1970s.html), and seeing this post, I believe I've decided on '75 over '72 for this year.
Cheers!
The '75 set is one of my all-time favorites. Good Luck. I've got some doubles from this set, too. Do you have a want list?
