15 Years Ago Today
Chet "Red" Hoff passed away 15 years ago today. The oldest former major leaguer ever at 107 years old. He lived 86 years after his appearance on a T207 card. If you got something of Hoff, show it! Just a side note, he is in the new Historic Autographs set

Are you asking people when they last got Hoff? Isn't that a little personal?

According to Beckett.com ...
Hoff was only on two cards, the T207 and a 1917 Zeenut.
