I have been building sets from this era as well, just for the hey of it. My tactic has been to buy entire sets and then upgrade with the goal of getting to Ex+ using tough grading standards. This means I have a lot of replacement needs because when you buy a set no matter what the guy says inevitably dozens of cards will have wrinkles and need replacing. I suppose it’s different if you pay premium money but anyway.
Just bought a 77 and need to replace 60 cards. Did a 78 really cheaply and need to replace 100 cards or so. Will be hoping to find a dealer that sells decent commons for cheap. Also just got a 76 and need to look through that one. Hoping the big Rich Altman show this weekend has a dealer dumping cards from this era. I just can’t stand creases and junkers even if nobody is ever going to look through my nice binders.
