I've got a friend that has a complete auto'd set, matted and framed. Hopefully he'll post it or allow me to.
Clemente is expensive, Dick Farrell is the really tough one. He left the US in 1971, and eventually ended up in England, working on oil rigs in the North Sea, and was killed in a car crash in 1977.

At shows in the LA area in the early '70's Will Davis always had a table full of '64 Giants, we suspected that he was the source for the Dodger Stadium supply, which was sold thru at least '77.

BTW, the full press sheet debunks the myth of short prints in this set. There were 49 cards printed once, 10 cards double printed, and Mantle triple printed, for a total of 72 on a standard Topps press sheet. This lines up with the Dodger Stadium envelopes, we had tons of Mantles, and plenty of Koufax, Causey, Stuart, Friend,Mays, etc all cited as short prints.
