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 April 9. The prices do not include shipping.
Overall, there isn't much difference between this month and last month. A complete run of all the sets would be $6,341.53, which is only $123 above last month.
There were some high-prices sets from the early '70s that saw quite an increase over the 12 month average.

This is always one of my favorite monthly posts. And I send people here all the time when they ask me how much their 1991 unopened Topps factory set is worth. Keep up the good work and go Cubbies!
ReplyDelete...and what is their reaction when they find out that they're not going to pay for their kid's college with the set, but they can have a nice supper at McDonalds with the proceeds?
