Need Farrell (of course), Clemente and Boyer.

Are there any signed of those players, I would assume Farrell
is much tougher than Clemente and Boyer, who cannot be
to easy themselves.

I have seen a Clemente signed 1964 Topps Giants on EBay before, so I know that there is at least one out there. Same for the Boyer, but I have never seen a Farrell.

Yes, I have been the underbidder on two Farrells and one Boyer which was signed in red ink. I have seen a few Clementes as well, all were personalized.

That's really a neat project Jeff

Is the figure of 8 million of these cards being found uncirculated possibly accurate? What was the possible production of regular issue 1964 Topps? It doesn't seem likely that friggen' 8 mil of these were just left in a warehouse. Makes me feel like none of these cards are worth any more than a 1990 Fleer common, and thats just not true. Is there an accurate (not gossip/heresay) account of the find of these cards?

I actually had 59 of the 60 autographed. My Boyer and Farrell were both in PSA holders as most others. About 3 years ago a fellow on ebay sold me a large collection. Asked me if I was interested in a 64 Giants set with many autographed for $500. I said sure and took a chance. Ended up being all but Clemente signed. The only ones not genuine were Aaron and Mays. All were mailed to the players in the late 60's, early 70's but those two were secretarial.

I can say with near 100% surety Clemente is MUCH tougher than Farrell. Not even that close. I have seen atleast 5 Farrells over the past 5 years but only one Clemente. There was a Clemente on ebay that sold a few months back but it was an obvious fake.
