Default 1972 Topps high numbers -- why so expensive?

Posted By: Fred Goodwin

I know market price is a function of condition, scarcity and demand -- but really! What is driving up the asking price for these cards?

I bought my Dallas Cowboys teamset (including Staubach RC and hi #s) back in the early 80s -- I don't recall spending more than $5 for the whole batch (admittedly the centering on some of the cards isn't perfect and the condition of several is closer to EX than MT).

I'm just glad I bought them when I did -- there's no way I could put a teamset together today for a reasonable cost.
