- Typically the January prices are a bit higher than average because non-hobby people are buying sets as gifts. I often see some crazy BIN prices. It amazes me that people won't take a little time to shop around but instead just hit the BIN and overpay. I wish I could afford to do that.
- A couple high-end 1969 sales were made; 1970 also
- The 1972 set price came back to normal after some really pricey sets were sold last month. 1971 also returned to a more normal rate.
- The price for one of each set would be $6,192.70. Despite the inflated BIN prices on many sets, this is a $500 drop from December, due to the drop in the '71 and '72 sets.

Amazing and maybe a little sad, depending on your point of view, that you have to go back a third of a century to find a set that sells for more than $50.
