I am dragging out the 'unsearched' roll topic again. Review this Ebay seller completed auctions and feedback. Is it possible that rolls are really end-pieced originally with key and semi-key dates and they happen to get in these dealer's possession? I would tend to think the seller seeds rolls, as a way to gin up sales. Maybe the dealer lurks on this forum. Where did you get your rolls? And why were they not opened up and sold piecemeal after umpteen years of coin collectors combing the US looking for the elusive key dates?

I do not know how to run an Ebay-fronted coinshp but my gut feeling says that if you can have a few break-even key date "loss" leaders to stir up sales for common date rolls, you can certainly rake in the dollars by concocting a jillion seeded rolls and have a path beaten to your auctions.
