Oldest Card Set With A Living Player
 

Posted By: <b>bruce dorskind</b><p><br />As we near the end of another surprising baseball season, I thought it might<br />be an interesting exercise to determine the oldest card set which contains<br />a picture of a living player.<br /><br />For example is there anyone still alive who appeared in th 1933 Tattoo Orbit<br />set, 1932 US Caramel Set or E-120 American caramel set?<br /><br />Among the older sets with living players are the 1938 Goudey which sports<br />Bob Feller and Bobby Doerr<br /><br />I am sue there are some relatively obscure players who are stll alive. I can not<br />think of fast way of checking without going through the entire 1933 Goudey<br />and Tatoo Orbit sets, for example.<br /><br />Would welcome your comments.<br /><br /><br />Best,<br /><br /><br />Bruce Dorskind<br />America's Toughest Want List
