Default old ad for sports cards - guess the year!

From a certain sports collecting magazine (one of the few ads with vintage) - can you guess the year? It's no wonder the only thing I could afford was the magazine.

Makes you wonder if the best time to be buying is NOW!

Complete sets:
1934-36 Diamond Stars gd-vg/ex $4500
1954 topps ex/mt $6000
1954 topps vg-ex $3250
1965 topps ex/mt $3250
1965 topps vg/ex $1750
1972 topps ex/mt $1500
1975 topps ex-mt $750
1953 Bowman color vg/ex $6500
1970 kelloggs $250

pre-war
1934 Goudey Gehrig ex-em $2500
1933 Goudey Ruh ex-em $3000
t206 Cobbs pr $200 / fr-gd $450 / vg $875 / ex $1750

Here's the big clue:
psa graded cards:
1952 topps mathews psa 6 $3750
1969 topps jackson psa 7 $325
1955 topps Clemente psa 7 $2500

1954 Topps (nrmt) $7,999
1965 Topps (nrmt) $3,499
1973 Topps (nrmt) $699

Same ad - buy prices
