The '65 Tall Boys is actually where I started with my vintage set building in 2005. So I've seen a ton of Ebay sales of the '65s for several years now.I focused on raw and graded cards in the EXMT-NRMT range and found it to be pretty affordable, especially with the raw stuff. Regular commons in EX condition are readily available for $3 to $4 apiece, with common short prints normally found in the $5-$7 range (again in EX condition). Sometimes you would even be able to snag VGEX singles for a couple of bucks!
If you're not too picky with the checklists, they won't be too bad. The only problem is Namath, who will run you up to $400 or so, even in PSA 2/PSA 3. Other than that, I bet you could put together a decent, presentable set in mid-grade for right around a thousand bucks. Probably $600 to $750 total in VGEX/VG would be my estimate. It is a great set that was a blast to put together!
Here is the key to my set:
