Topps Complete Set Prices 1969 - 2015

Here is my monthly look at Topps complete set prices for all the years in which I own a set, 1969 - 2015.  The prices are from Ebay sold listings taken on January 1.  The prices do not include shipping.

  • Overall the average prices were up quite a bit.  I attribute this to ignorant holiday shoppers.
  • I included best offer prices this month for the first time in a long time.  I stopped using them when Ebay took away the print option for finding the BO prices.  But recently l came across a website, Watchcount.com, that makes it fairly simple to look up BO prices.
  • If you want to buy one of each set, it will cost you $6,488.53 and that was an increase of $1,462.08 over the December prices.

  1. So do you gut the Cubs from your complete sets to place in Cubs decade folders? Forego the Cubs decade folders when you have a complete set? Buy two sets of Cubs for a complete set AND a Cubs decade folder?

    1. Two sets, one for the Cubs binder and one for the complete set.

  2. for the recent years offerings, is that the full 990 card set? or is it just series 1 and 2?

    1. It's just the base set...no traded or update sets.

  3. Perfect timing. I'm in the market for a 1977 set and this will help me gauge how much I'll end up spending.
