1970s
Here are my 1972 cards. I've split them into singles (the only one I have or the best one I have if I have more than one), and doubles (which in a few cases might actually be triples or quadruples - but mostly just one of each). The singles are mostly EX-MT, with some better and some worse, but in either case not a lot better or a lot worse; I think the vast majority are EX to NM. Because the singles group includes my best example, the average quality of the singles group is higher than the doubles group - EXMT to NM for the singles, EX to EX-MT for the doubles.
The doubles group is virtually all from the first three series, a small group from series 4, and none at all from the last two series (semi-high's and high numbers).
The singles group has most of the first 3 series, a fair amount of series 4, and just a few from the last 2 series.
Here are the pictures I took, but feel free to ask for more if you'd like.
.
First, just a sample of the doubles. I plucked handful of cards out of the center of the box and I think these fairly represent the quality of the entire doubles group:

Next, a picture of the entire doubles group in a box to show they stack nicely and there is minimal edge or corner wear.

.
Next, a picture of the entire singles group. The ones that didn't fit in the box are shown on the box.
.
.
Next, a picture of the singles cards from the last two series (15 from series 5 including a nice Brooks Robinson, and three high numbers (which are about EX condition).
.
.
Finally, a picture of the star and/or rookie cards from the singles group. They are all in nice shape, but as you can see there aren't a lot of them (I sold most of them off years ago).
.
.
And I was writing my description of the star cards, my old brain remembered another small cache of star cards I had stored somewhere else. This last group is in very nice shape, near mint or better, and since it includes some really big stars I'm glad I remembered where to find them.
.
.
You'll notice there isn't a picture of the star cards in the doubles group. There are a few but not worth photographing. Just assume there are none and you'll get a few mildly pleasant surprises.
.
In total, there are 435 (or so, don't be mad if I'm off a few) singles and 300 (or so) doubles).
Asking price is $550.

Here are my 1973 cards, which are essentially a large partial set and just a few doubles. The "set" is 540 (or so) cards (out of 660), including 75 (or so) high numbers, plus there are about 25 doubles. I didn't bother taking pictures of or pricing the doubles; they're free if you want the partial set. The condition of these is similar to the 1972s, but a little better. In the 1972s I said the vast majority were in the EX to NM range; for the 1973s, I'd say the vast majority are in the EX-MT to NM range, and there are a fair number that I would call NM-MT (although that is not a guarantee they will grade that high). If you do buy the lot, you'll notice a fair number of commons in sleeves; I thought about building a graded 1973 set a long time ago, and put the cards I thought had a shot at an 8 in sleeves (there are also star cards in sleeves that clearly have no shot at an 8).

First two pictures are the star cards:

All of the star cards are pretty nice (centering varies as you can see) except for the Mays. I included him because, well, he's Willie Mays, but it is the only card in the entire lot with a crease. There's also a Frank Robinson, but for reasons I no longer remember, I typed on it back in 1973. Just to be cleat, if you[re wondering about a particular HOF card - if it isn't in the picture, assume it isn't in the lot (no Schmidt or Ryan, for example).
.
The only other picture I took was the entire lot stacked up:

.
This lot doesn't look quite as "nice" in a stack, but that's because there are a god number of cards in sleeves; the cards really are in nice condition.Asking price: $475
