Tony Horton

I found this article from 1985...values are quite outdated and fun, and a few good quotes from Sy Berger, including an explanation about Tony Horton...

Some really excellent articles out there about Mr. Horton...tough story but glad he seemed to have figured out what made him ok...

Thanks for this and for the previous posters' replies as well.

$10000 for a 1952 complete set? I think I'd splurge. It is a big jump from 1979 - I have the first Sport Americana which was published that year and lists it at 4300, with the Mantle at 500 and high numbers at 34. Good times, huh?

In checking I ended up with two of Bob Lemke’s Horton cards, 65 and 67. There are a bunch of copies from Bob’s creations for Horton on ebay now, but almost all seem to be on thin stock unlike Bob’s which wete on regular stock. Bob created many custom cards and those which proved popular got reproduced on 100 card sheets which he sold or which were sold after his death
