Price per card went up $.02. I got the Steve Carlton card for a buck which to me is a good cost for that card. It just doesn’t help the price per card.
I tried and to a certain extent, am still trying to complete the 1973 set in a similar fashion. I often lose steam on this secondary project, but I also have a fairly decent (read: hundreds) of extra 1973 Topps in my possession. If you have any interest, let me know.
