Does anyone have a list of the last living players from some T and E sets or even some N sets ? For the 1909-1911 cards, i'd guess that Rube Marquard was the last living player, and Smokey Joe Wood or Edd Roush ? for the 1910's sets ? |

Maybe Edd Roush for 1915 Cracker Jack? He died in 1984. |

Roush is correct for 1915 CJ's, but believe he lasted till 1988.. |

You can click this link to see everyone who died in 1980 (the year Marquard died). You can then click previous year or next year and then scroll through the names. Pretty interesting. |

I forgot about Chet Hoff. he died in 1998 I think at the age of 107 ! Thats pretty crazy. If i lived to be 107, it would be the year 2093 lol. |

My guess is they just re-used the uniforms for other players, and then were probably thrown out when they got ruined. |

How about Bill Werber from the Diamond Stars and Werber and his former teammate and friend Lonny Frey in the '34 Goudey set? Are these guys the oldest living players who appeared on cards? |

Hey Sean, I didn't know that Art Butler was the last living player from the t206 set. This might be a tough question, but do you know who the last living minor or southern leaguers who never played in the major leagues was ? I wouldn't know where to find out that info if they never played a major league game. I wonder if there is any signed examples in someones attic or under a floor board. |

Arthur Edward Butler, who played in the majors 1911-16, died October 7 1984, but he played with his hometown Fall River team in the New England League in 1910. He was not in the T206 set. |

I hope I am not straying too far from topic, but is there any truth to the proposition that the only autographs worth collecting are of those who died before 1980? |
