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

Farrell is tough, but I have seen 8-10 authentic examples. I've seen scans of two "likely authentic" 64 Giants signed by Clemente, but never actually held one in my hand.

Jodi beat me to the punch.
I was going to say in the last 3 years or so I've seen 4 legit Farrells(all offered through highly reputable dealers) but I've never seen one legit clemente. Dosn't mean it dont exist, but I believe it is far and away the no.1 key to the set. I do agree that it's a cool set and I was working on it a couple years ago,but kinda cooled on it when I realized that I wouldnt be able to complete the set Last edited by J.McMurry; 05-27-2010 at 04:41 AM.

Coach's corner had Signed Perez Steele Waner and Paige's, so maybe you can get your Roberto Giant there.
 Seriously tho, I hope you find one, that would be an amazing set to have full signed. Great looking cards that look even better autographed.
