I agree, lately on ebay there have been some great deals on the early 70s sets.
I resell them as singles on ebay and the 71s and 72s are very strong sellers. IMO, this is because there are still collectors who cannot afford to drop $500-600 for a complete or near complete set and can only afford to assemble these sets card by card. Over the past 10 years on ebay, I have bought about 20 complete 72 sets, all in the $600-800 range in EX to NM shape to sell as singles...I just think some of these sets recently are cases of sets that have "slipped through the cracks" and were missed by potential bidders for whatever reason.
Over a few months, I had one collector purchase nearly 2/3 of a 72 set card by card...all in NM shape including the last two series. I am thankful, but if I were him I would have saved my money and purchased one of these bargain deal sets for a fraction of the cost.
