I liked the idea of the '67 set and the difficult high numbers and all, but in reality found that I wasn't willing to pay $100 or north for players like Cookie Rojas, Norm Cash, or Mike Shannon. I had accumulated most of the stars and even the Seaver and Carew RC's - didn't mind paying up for those high numbers - but it was what I perceived as the ridiculous prices for the lesser names that stopped me on the set. I'm currently about halfway through 1972 Topps, which yes also has the high number issue - but not nearly as egregiously on the price.
