Do not But it Now on Ebay. 95% of them are rip-offs. Look for free shipping sellers.
Try to buy a starter set / lot to get you started. Ideally this lot will have a nice group of high #s as well as some stars.
You might want to do this 2-3 times. You will have some duplicates, but this will give you some sale and / or trade bait and minimize your searches of single cards. Ultimately you will have to search for single cards at some point, but that is where it can get expensive.

Good luck. I have always loved that '72 set.

Thanks a lot man, that helps a lot. The first purchase price might not be totally accurate, because I bought them in June of last year on a different forum and I deleted the pm.

Received the Lou Brock today, looks great. Will have a picture of everything I have at the end of the week once I get everything in.
