Not sure of 100% accuracy re the above but believe a very large horde was found at one point. The set came out after the 1964 All Star Game and Topps must have assumed people would be interested in a late season issue. Not so much.

I think it's one of their best issues actually and it's neat you can find a set in nice shape for a reasonable price.
