Lucky for me because instead of the usual pack ripping, handling and packing into a shoebox (death to black borders) I ordered the complete set from Larry Fritsch over that Winter for about $25 where it remained untouched for years until I carefully put them in sheets a few years ago. I upgraded a few due to centering problems, but looking through that set of pristine black borders now is pure joy.
Agree with your statement about the 71's. My favorite 70's card without question.
