1972 Topps Baseball High Numbers Pricing

[Marchillo]

I built the 72 set mostly over the last two years. Finished a couple months ago. I don’t remember the Murcer being difficult. In fact I don’t remember it at all. So I checked to make sure I had it. The Cey RC was a tough one although I think I have two of them now. The Carews are tough, that Koosman IA was also tough. I guess this is one of the toughest binder pages from the 70’s.

Cey "The Penguin" def. pricey, Dempsey a small sleeper but nothing crazy. A couple other "triple rookie" high numbers a bit more. No technical short print/confusion unlike 71 which is sort of a roller coaster of prices within the high series.... The traded cards of HOFers (Maz, F. Rob. Morgan, Carlton, etc.) obviously more expensive. The 72 set is the ultimate "the price of the whole is not worth the sum of the parts" type of set which is why dealers like to buy these sets cheap and break it up.... There is a nice thread somewhere on this net54 universe that explains which vintage sets have best breakup value and 72 is high, '69 is not for example....As has been stated 72 centering is almost always off so one that is well centered both ways is quite desirable
