I remember in 71 my brother and I each ordered a complete set of Topps for something like 15 bucks each.

I ordered the 72 set from a dealer out of TSN at the beginning of the season for about the same amount. It arrived in 4 or 5 shipments over the next few months as the series came out. I still have most of the original set (except for upgrading some really OC cards over the years).
But that didn't stop me from buying packs from the corner store though during the summer, because I couldn't wait for the series to arrive. LOL
