Jodi, I was researching that Mays sig online and I...
thought you would find this interesting. Seems I stumbled onto an old REA auction with a very similar Mays auto on a 64 Topps Giants card. Even signed in nearly the same spot. Thoughts? Guess a few have slipped by over the years.
I noticed the same break in the "a" and "y" in Mays and the squirlly u shaped "dot" above the "ie" in Willie on the auction Mays and mine. Here is the link and pic http://www.robertedwardauctions.com/.../2005/592.html Last edited by LEIDEMEG; 05-26-2010 at 12:49 AM.

Actually, the Mays featured in the REA lot is correctly noted as being clubhouse (ch). While technically not a clubhouse version (it's a through-the-mail secretarial), that's a good enough description for their purposes.

Wow Jodi...
I didnt even see that clubhouse notation, as always, I appreciate your posts. Never doubted your expertise, just wondering if another Mays "signed thru the mail" auto got by some of the paid experts.

wow, Would love to have that Dick Farrell.
Yes, the set is possible. Here is my Farrell. I have the set minus the Clemente which is possible but never seen, but now must search for a legit Mays and Aaron to get back to 59 out of 60...
 Just when I thought I was one away, now I am 3! Last edited by LEIDEMEG; 05-26-2010 at 01:48 PM.

I have to agree that it is possible that there are some Clemente signed 64 Topps Giants out there. The cards were around when I was growing up in the 60's and I remember there was a large warehouse find sometime between 70-72 (can't remember exactly) and they started selling them at baseball stadiums in a generic package. I really love those cards...probably too much otherwise I would have had several players, including Mantle, sign some for me. Anyway, I found this discription from REA that was selling 59 of the 60 signed (not Clemente).
Though Clemente is missing, this card is possible to find autographed. The key rarity in signed form for this set is actually #22 Dick Farrell, who is included. Farrell is nearly impossible to find signed in 1964 Topps Giants. After his Major League career ended in 1969 he moved to England, and was virtually inaccessible to collectors seeking his autograph from this time until he died in England in 1977
