Everyone with direct memories of T206 players playing is almost certainly gone, but there aren’t that many left who were even alive when the last of them were active.

I believe the last living member of the set was Rube Marquard who died in 1980. Chet Hoff from T207 passed away in 1998 and was, I think, the last ATC subject alive, baseball or non baseball.

Maybe when the last of the 1930’s babies passes away demand for T206 will collapse and I can build the set without winning the lottery.

Father of a friend died last year at 104, so he would've been 13 for Collins last game.
