Last living player from these sets?
 

Posted By: <b>Dave F</b><p><br>Wondered if anybody might know who the last living player was/is from each of these sets? I'm guessing the Old Judge set may be especially hard...but figured worth asking.<br><br><br>N172 Old Judge<br>T206<br>1933 Goudey (could someone from this set possibly still be alive?)

Posted By: <b>Chris Counts</b><p>Lonny Frey started his career in 1933 (he's in the '34 Goudey set), and as far as I can tell, he started his career earlier than any living player, so that rules out anybody from the '33 set that's still alive. Milt Gaston lived to be 100, so he very well could have been the last guy alive from the '33 set ...

Posted By: <b>Anonymous</b><p>The last surviving member from the 1933 Goudey set was Gus Suhr, card # 206. He passed away in his home in California a few years ago. I met him at a Piratefest several years ago. A very nice gentleman.<br><br>

Posted By: <b>barrysloate</b><p>Dan- I believe you are correct that Marquard was the last living member of T206.

Posted By: <b>Frank Wakefield</b><p>Dan, <br><br>As you suspected, Werber was not in the 33 Goudey set. He is in 34 Goudey and in the Diamond Stars. He was a really nice guy.<br><br><br>I think Brian is correct that Gus Suhr was the last of the 33 Goudey players alive. And I know Brian's right about what a kind gentleman he was. First class fellow.<br><br>Marquard lived a long life, signed lots of stuff. Probably the easiest autograph to get of the T206 players. And a member of the Hall of Fame.

Posted By: <b>Steve Murray</b><p>Both Paddy and Marquard were prolific signers and their longevity explains why so many autos are available. I am reminded that Paul has my autographed T206 of Paddy which is pretty neat. I did however keep this one:<br><img src="http://i52.photobucket.com/albums/g5/jacklitsch1/Odds%20and%20Ends/paddyauto.jpg" alt="[linked image]">

Posted By: <b>Ted Zanidakis</b><p>I would say Chester &quot;Red&quot; Hoff....pictured in the T207 set....he lived to be 107 years old<br> when he passed away on Sept 17, 1998.....87 years and 11 days after his Major League<br> pitching debut, in which the 1st batter he faced was Ty Cobb....who Hoff struck-out.<br><br><br><img src="http://i529.photobucket.com/albums/dd339/tz1234zaz/achethoff.jpg" alt="[linked image]"><br><br><br>TED Z<br><br>

Posted By: <b>Jodi Birkholm</b><p>There was also a Negro Leaguer named Si Simmons who lived to be either 111 or 112. He debuted in 1909, I believe, and languished in obscurity until he was re-discovered less than a year before his death.

Posted By: <b>Jodi Birkholm</b><p>Oddly, I have never seen a signed example of Hoff's T207 card. You'd think there would be a nice fistfull out there.

Posted By: <b>Frank Wakefield</b><p>Marty, the brown border tobacco cards only... 'Red' Hoff is only in<br>that set. And that, coupled with him being a Yankee on that card,<br>could be why there's a tiny bit of extra demand for the Hoff T207.<br><br>FW

Posted By: <b>sean</b><p>I tried super hard to get a t207 to get signed but they were insanely hard to get in the pre ebay days. That, and I was kind a cheap too <img src="/images/happy.gif" height="14" width="14" alt="happy.gif">

Posted By: <b>Mark</b><p>Gussie Suhr died in Arizona, not California. He'd lived in the Bay Area a long time, but moved in with a relative (son) the last few years of his life........... Chet Hoff is also featured in the 1917 Zeenut set

Posted By: <b>Mark</b><p>With the passing of Nino Bongiovanni last month, I can think of 3 off the top of my head.... Dom Dimaggio, Eddie Joost, &amp; Billy Raimondi.

Posted By: <b>john/z28jd</b><p> Ted,Hoff faced Cobb in his 2nd game,his first game was a relief appearance vs the Senators a week prior(the date you noted above). I've seen that wrong a few places online as well as the fact he said striking him out was his greatest thrill when in fact he said he didn't know he was pitching to Cobb at the time,he found out the next day,then he was thrilled. I find that hard to believe that not only did he have no idea Cobb was batting,but no one mentioned it to him when they handed him the ball,or even after the inning ended? Who was gonna argue with a 100 year old guy retelling a story though from almost 80 years prior
