Slightly OT, but I remember seeing, either on here or another forum, a list of the last living player from several sets, from T206 to 1949 Leaf. The ones I can remember off the top of my head are:
T206--Rube Marquand
1933 Goudey--Gus Suhr
1934 Goudey--Lonny Frey
1938 Goudey, 1939-41 Play Ball, 1941 Double Play, 1949 Leaf--Bobby Doerr
1948 Bowman--Red Schoendienst
There were a few other sets as well, like Cracker Jack, but that's what I can recall without having access to the original list (I'm pretty sure it's behind a paywall at SCN).
