Topps Complete Set Prices 1969 - 2013

Here is my monthly look at Topps complete set prices for all the years in which I own a set, 1969 - 2013.  The prices are from Ebay sold listings taken on July 1.  The prices do not include shipping.

I've added in the prices for 2013 sets.  With Series Two now out, a  few sellers were offering hand-collated complete sets.  The Topps factory set won't be out for a month or so.

Yes, I'm on vacation, but I brought some toys with so I can stay in touch with the outside world.  We had some free time on Monday morning, so I did my monthly search.  Here's what I found.

  • New England Sports Cards had the BIN hit on several sets from the early '70s.  Someone must have come into some money.  NESC typically overcharges for their stuff, so these sales inflated the monthly prices.
  • Some of the early '80s sets saw big drops while later '80s sets went up.  Go figure.
  • The hand collated sets from 2013 were a bargain compared to what the factory sets will go for.
  • One of each set will run you $5,536.15, which is down about $100 from last month and nearly $1,00 down from the Christmas shopping high last December.

  1. It's crazy that the 86T set averaged higher than the 84T and 85T sets in May. Great series.
