  Assuming they are in great shape, you did well. Personally, I wouldn't buy them without better scans, as 'great shape' means different things to different people. In Nm, the 76 alone will cost you over half the $375, so you may have done fine. I've sure seen worse gambles.

  Not a bad price considering you can't really tell condition

  For that price, you could resell and get your money back if you don't like them. It's worth the gamble for less than $400.

  Well from the looks of an auction it's a cardshop... And most of the time when card shops put stuff in binders it's not the best (Atleast in my area)

  BBCE currently has a complete 78 set that averages EX/MT to NM for $125, and the 3 main cards in the set are pictured and are really off-center.

  Tommy is a member here, who has made a few daring raw lot purchases from e-bay lately, looking for nice lots.

  "great shape"
  
  To me that's card-dealer-speak for either EXMT or NM/oc condition...but here's hoping they're better than that.
