I recently purchased what appears to be a decent one on ebay ( I know ebay, could be a disaster, etc ) for $605! I remember when 70, 71, & 72 mid grade sets would always get between $850-$1000 on ebay. Now they seem to sell for $500-$750 in mid grade. Any thoughts, opinions, ideas. Do you think these sets will hold any value, or are they in trouble unless in ultra high grade?

Mid-grade 70's stuff is in abundance and can be purchased much cheaper than "Guide". Thumb through any bargain box; decent stars are easily obtained cheap. I see 70-73 mid grade commons as low as 10 cents each. I think a VG/EX 71 set can be pieced together (easily) in the $500-700 range. For that price it would hold value but probably not gain too much.
