What is the earliest major card set that still has a living player in it? I'm guessing it's 1948 Bowman. I don't think there is anyone alive from any of the three Playball sets.

48 Bowman is correct
I believe based on a quick visual perusal of the checklist that Red Schoendienst is the only living player from that set Rich |
Jim Rivera passed away Monday at the age of 96.

Sandy Koufax retired over a half century ago and he's still only number 13 on that list. Pretty wild.
