As you were starting to convince me these old clubs were legit I was starting to think about buying some to dick around with thinking usual eye 2 prices. How much does a set of + no + run?

That's funny. Two of the best golfers on our team in the same time period had Eye 2s.
You should be able to get a set of + no + for around $200, but my recommendation would run you a little more than that. Before the i3s came out, Ping used a tumbled finish on all of their irons. From the i3s on, they use a finish called Guyson, which is a blasted media finish.
There is a guy on ebay named llgolf. He refinishes Ping irons using the tumbled process for $13 a club, plus shipping.
I mention this for two reasons:
1) He does an absolutely masterful job
2) If you still have your ISI Nickels, Ping won't touch them. Due to EPA restrictions, they won't work on anything with beryllium in them (this includes the BeCu irons as well) due to the risk of berylliosis and cancer from the inhalation of dust particles.
Overall, I'd expect to spend about $300, but the clubs you get will look factory new. Pings are known for being nearly indestructible.
He'll take a set that looks like this:
And when he's done, they'll look like this:
From there, find a shaft that you like (Pings take a .355 taper shaft; I put TT Black Golds in them), and you're off to go.
