Funny. I remember seeing a '73 Topps Clemente signed at a card shop as a kid (same shop I referred to in separate thread that opened and resealed packs)... I'm not an expert in release dates (and have little time now to research), but always thought, even at 12 that it must have been incredibly difficult to get that signed prior to NYE 1973.
