And to slightly sidetrack down the Goudey hijack line, I believe the oldest surviving player in the 1934 Goudey set was Linus Frey, who passed away in 2009 at the age of 99, and the oldest surviving player in the 1938 Goudey set was Bobby Doerr, who passed away in 2017 at the age of 101.
Not sure about the 1933 Goudey set.
As far as the T206 question, I pasted a list created on the forum by Tom H. back in 2009 below containing the oldest surviving T206 players (minus the Seitz). It may be missing other non-major league players:
Rube Marquard 6-1-1980
Paddy Livingston 9-19-1977
Al Shaw 12-30-1974
Fred Snodgrass 4-5-1974
Larry Doyle 3-1-1974
George McBride 7-2-1973
Dutch Jordan 12-23-1972
Fred Parent 11-2-1972
Davy Jones 3-30-1972
Donie Bush 3-28-1972
Zach Wheat 3-11-1972
Chief Meyers 7-25-1971
Harry Pattee 7-17-1971
