Personally, I'm collecting the set signed and currently am at 57/60. Just missing Clemente, Mays and Farrell. If I can find a Mays, I'll probably call it quits though.
If you don't mind me asking, why is Mays so tough to find? He's signed 8 million of every card imaginable, so I would think it would be easy to locate a 1964 Topps Giants, no??

Spelling "Yastrzemski" correctly without needing to look it up since the 1980s.
