It seems that I read a while back that it's entirely possible to make
all the Buckyballs you want just by depositing acetylene soot onto
glass. I suppose the cost is in separating out the fullerenes from the
other types of carbon mixed in...

Not really.  A simple process using a soxhlet extracter performs that 
separation..The real cost is separating the c-60  from c-70 and other 
fullerenes.
