1968 Topps Plaks.....where are they all?

I have always been a fan of Topps insers and test issues from the 1960's. I have assembled many of complete and near sets of the inserts, the test issues have been a bit tougher. My question is...where are all the '68 Topps Plaks at? I haven't seen any come up for sale in quite some time.

I have the NL checklist card which I think is a visually stunning card (pictures Clemente, Mays, Rose, Drysdale, etc.) The only plaks I have seen at shows in the past 10 years were Mantle (dealer asking $1500), Clemente ($900), and Hunter ($250). I still kick myself for not buying the Clemente as it is the only one I have ever seen but I was a poor student at the time and already had my fair share of debt.

Larry posted an incredible full panel including Mantle in another thread. Anyone else have any they could post a scan of.

One last question to the test issue experts, how many Plaks of each individual player would you guesstimate exist?
