1972 Topps football high numbers

Does anyone have all these? You might know that this was the last Topps football set (for a while, anyway) that wasn't released all at once. The third series was sent out to just a handful of stores, with the cards available to everyone else via mail order. With winter sports coming up, as with most final series, not many of them were sold.
The cards in this series get pricier all the time, especially star cards such as Namath Pro Action, Butkus Pro Action, Page, Spurrier rookie, Rayfield Wright rookie, a check list (always hard to find clean), and 24 All-Pro cards with lots of Hall of Famers. The only one I'm missing is #316 Wright.
A dealer named Larry Fritsch bought Topps out of all the 1972 high-numbered cards it had left over, if I remember right. Now a seller on eBay (Greg Morris cards) has those same cards for sale pretty much constantly, so I wonder if he bought out Fritsch.
