I am confident there is no color Larsen Cubs '67. I've looked.

Thanks! Tony Horton is very rare. He apparently had contract issues with Topps much like Rusty Staub & Maury Wills. I have read about the "nervous breakdown" he suffered in 1970 and how it ended his career. My heart really goes out to him. I used to look at the league leaders cards from 1970 and wondered who Horton for Cleveland was as the only Horton I had cards for was Willie Horton with Detroit.
In honor of our patron saint Merkle who has so kindly answered our many requests, I submit these cards and photos of Fred Merkle.
