Many of the older sets can be looked up in the database here on Lugnet.


The interpolation is actually meant to plug in the gaps in the database. For
instance, set 760 does not have a MSRP. The calculated MSRP based on my
averages is around $12.50. I *KNOW* that the set is more valuable than that.
More research is required on that one. However, I'm pretty sure that the
$29.00 is pretty close to the MSRP for set 8835.

While this is useful for the use you mentioned (determining the value of new
sets), it's not very useful for older sets.  I would think that the value of a
set from the early 70's is a lot higher than the set's original MSRP.  When it
comes to insurance, and *shudder* having to go out and aquire an entire large
collection from scratch, the cost would be much greater than original off the
shelf cost.

I may be off on some of the guessed prices, but it does give me a good idea
as to the value of my collection and whether or not it should be insured.
