Not even counting the stars (Carew, Cey, Alston, Traded cards, etc.) that sell for more if you can get $5/ea for 130 cards that's $650 right there and that's a very conservative estimate. I'd say a closer guess if you were to individually list each '72 high on eBay, I would think they'd sell for close to $1,000 just by themselves which is about what a complete set sells for.
I agree with this. I haven't put a whole lot of focus on my 72's, but still need a small chunk of the hi numbers. You RARELY get any type of steal deal on Ebay and local shops are pretty savvy to the prices. Those hi numbers simply are a good investment, and still very much in demand.
