FYI Fuentes
The Topps card-used image of Fuentes is, obviously, from the same shoot of September 1 or 2, 1969, as the portrait the company took of him which wound up - like about 20 other Topps images - on to a 1983 Renata Galasso Pilots commemorative set (below).
I point this out because the likelihood is good that there was/is at least one more image from that shoot left to auction off, and as described in the Ken Johnson entry, it's unlikely they reached in and grabbed only the card-used image from his folder. In other words, I would say the odds are decent that even though the sequence usually sees Topps auction off a player's unused images first and then the used one, this is a rare occasion when I wouldn't be a bit surprised to see one or more Fuentes negatives pop up in the next few weeks or months.
