Stopped by a flea market and found 3 proof sets for sale. A 1970, a 1981, and a 1988. I spent $7.00 total for the 3 of them. I didn't have my loupe, so I didn't check them out until I got home.
Imagine my surprise when the 1970 set produced this beauty. A 1970S Small Date Proof! It's not in the best shape, but well Worth the cost...don't you think??

Nice pickup Bob at a good price. I have been holding a proof set of 1969, 1970 and 1985 for the past five years as well as a 1983s. It is getting harder to find these in gem condition at reasonable prices. Thanks for sharing.I will post these soon.

Awesome nab! Congrats! I've looked at a lot of the 70 sets but, of course, never found a small date in one.
