Default Forgive this not being baseball, but does anyone here collect T218's?
Posted By: George

I do not think that any of the T218 athletes are more scarce than any others. With regard to backs, I think about 90% are Mecca, and 10% Hassan. Tolstoi is very scarce, possibly 1 in 1000.

I think the oldest "survivor" of a T218 card was Abel Kiviat, who died in 1991 at the age of 99, approximately 80 years after his T218 card appeared. Is there any athlete who lived longer than this after appearing on a card? I cannot think of one.
