When Did the Last Surviving T206 Subject Pass Away?

Off the top of my head it might be Milt Gaston who diied in 2002. For the 1934 Goudey set Billy Werber died around 2009. I got to have him sign it at age 100.

Edit: Duly noted about Lonny Frey.

That may be half correct. I think the last player did die in 2002, but it was Willis Hudlin. Gaston passed in '96.

Thanks. Those two guys were always the same to me!

Ok, speaking of old people (and way off topic), but I was shocked to find out that our tenth President, John Tyler, still has a living grandson. Look it up!

Appropo of nothing, other than the foregoing discussion of deceased former ballplayers, but I saw a post earlier today that Charlie Maxwell had passed over the weekend. He was 97 and perhaps the oldest - then living - former ML player.

John Tyler was the 10th President and died in 1862. He had his youngest child when he was 63, who then went on to father a child when he was 75. Today, there is still one living grandson of a president who ended his term in 1845.

Ah just saw someone beat me to it.

This is simply mind-blowing!

Also quite possibly the last living grandson of a Confederate Congressman.

I knew there was another player in the 1934 Goudey issue that was vying for last survivor for the set...thanks for providing the Werber name. Billy Werber died on 1/22/2009, thus allowing Frey to snatch away the crown, living until 9/13/2009.
