Those prices aren't based on the real market, but they are what they are. There is also the New York factor, where the high numbered Yankees (including Bobby Murcer) and Mets (for instance, Koosman IA, who is hard to find centered) seemingly always do better than the usual commons or semi-stars, in my experience.

I wasn't alive when this set was issued, but I know people who were, and they have told me the 72 highs were very difficult (but not impossible) to find in Minnesota.
