Scott ElkinsI have seen quite a few Seigles and Matty Horizontals for sale over the past year (more so than several other examples). They just popped up at the wrong times last year when I had spent out at the times they appeared for auction (so, I still need both for my set). I have compiled a list of 8-10 of the toughest Cocoas, but will not share that until I have them all (I only have around 4 or 5 of them currently).
Again, I think that the horizontals are not rarer than other cards in each of the caramel sets, just way more popular and highly collected (like BCD who collects them). I still have a collection of horizontal caramels, but have been slowly selling my lower grades of each example I have multiples of. However, if these prices keep escalating, I might be selling the higher grades as well!
I do thank BCD for "turning me on" to the horizontals before this recent rise in prices!
