My bad - when I made the original post, I would have sworn I recalled a small pick of Horton as one of 3 players on a Topps leader card...well, I've gone to my albums and google and am now convinced I must of imagined it. I was so positive too - I recall sometime way back when when I thought I discovered this that I thought "wow - I didn't think he was on any Topps cards!".

Turns out he wasn't and I've had a multi-point senior moment!

I would imagine Horton is pictured on a few Topps team cards. ETA, here he is on the 1970 Topps team card.

Maybe you were thinking Willie Horton?

Despite not signing with Topps, Horton has a Milton Bradley and Kellogg's issue.

Tony Horton Checklist

For a player who doesn’t have an individual Topps Baseball Card, there sure are a lot of other issues depicting Tony Horton. I count more than 30 items, including multiple food issues (Kahn’s, Kellogg’s, Little Caesar’s, Nabisco), a Sporting News Magazine cover, several posters (SI, Cleveland Press), and at least 5 different PCs (JD McCarthy, Cleveland Team Issue, Mike Anderson PCs). In addition to those below, there are numerous press photos, snapshots and modern fantasy cards of Tony Horton on ebay and other venues. The first four and last two items on the checklist below show Tony with the Boston Red Sox, the rest with the Cleveland Indians.

The underlined items are also checklisted at the Trading Card Database website.

Here’s a few of my Tony Horton items. There is one interesting item that appears to be a premium from Little Caesars, measuring 5x7, from about 1970. I got this on ebay a few years ago and haven’t found out anything new about it. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Would love to see other Tony Horton items, and maybe expand on the checklist further.

What's the source of that checklist, would love to look up some other players.

The checklist is really compiled from multiple sources, including the Standard Catalog, Trading Card Database, eBay, Worthpoint, and a few collector checklists. I have only pursued Tony Horton’s Cleveland cards, so I am not really familiar with the Boston issues. I am guessing there are other items to add to the list.
