Turkey Mike Donlin gets my vote for toughest card in the T207 set, not counting the impossible to find Lewis with no emblem on sleeve. Strangely no one has mentioned the Pelty card which is almost impossible to find, perhaps because he was, or was believed to have been, Jewish, and the collectors of Jewish players make finding the card next to impossible. Lewis, Weaver and Lowdermilk are pricey but can be found much more easily than Donlin and Pelty.
I always thought it was a myth that Jewish ballplayers from the pre-war era are much tougher that they should be, but the P-2 Pelty was the last pin I found in that set and Levey in the Tattoo Orbit set is extremely scarce...
