Just a general observation here. The obvious problems with the '71 set are those deadly black borders. It makes the corner/side wear so obvious that it leaps right out at you, and it's impossible to ignore. Say you had a 1973 set, for instance, in the exact same condition as the 1971 set. It would appear to be in much better shape because a lot of the wear would sorta blend in. The '71 cards don't have that luxury.

Totally agree Elm!! Plus so many people have cards in that set with issues, meaning recolored, many times the owner doesn't even notice. I was able to score a 73 vg-vg+Ex set today at a good price, so that made me happy :-). Definitely a bigger fan of the 71 set, Munson, Clemente, Garvey, and Ryan are prob my top 4 of the set.

Seems like 1971 is one of those sets that has two different directions lately.....lower end sets dropping in price. Mid and higher end sets going up in price. There's a lot of sets like that out there but the 1971's, as mentioned, are SO condition sensitive. Fantastic set though and those high numbers are super tough too.
