$470 for a RAW 1976 Topps set? This set had better be good!

Is this raw 1976 Topps set made of gold or something???

Now, I also want to upgrade my own set (preferably using a NRMT/MT near set w/o the key cards) and get the keys in PSA 7 just like my 1975 set. And from the pics the set does look pretty sharp, and I could maybe see $200-$225. But $470??? All I can say for the buyer's sake is that set had better be pretty damn good.

So far, every picture shows cards with centering of 65/35 or worse.
There's a bunch that shows 80/20 centering.
If that's indictative for the entire set, then that's way too much.
The Rose seems to be the exception.

I was watching this set as well as the seller is very close to me but the 90/10 Ryan and Aaron really turned me off

I know, I wouldn't even consider $250 unless the set was just totally minty from top to bottom.

I was watching it too. Seller has to be tickled.

Just me - but if I were in the market for a set like that - I'ld want to buy it "in" person - at a show - where I could get a good feel for what I was buying.

It's just too much of a pain to buy it and then have to pay to ship it back - if they're even willing to take a return?

Well, this set ended at $470 shipped. Now, I could MAYBE understand that price if let's say, all the key cards are PSA 8 or 9 or something, but unless this set is truely minty from top to bottom (and like the previous poster said, the OC keys are not a good first impression), I doubt the buyer will get anywhere close to what he/she/it paid for.
