Aaron's last card would be the 76 topps in the Brewers uni....

1969 Mantle Topps Super. Don't have access to my photo, but that is one of the finest looking "mainstream" cards from the error in my opinion.

Since Nolan's career started pre 1980 I'm throwing in his 1993 Topps card.

Again, however, I believe Adam pointed out in his OP that the '69 Mantles were disqualified from the survey because the Mick had retired before the 1969 season and thus he was no longer active. If you make an exception and allow post-retirement cards for Mantle, then you have to do the same for everyone, in which case I'm pretty sure the all-time winner for last card is this one:

I think this has to be one of the best looking last cards of a hall of famer. Ernie Lombardi played his last year in the Pacific Coast League.

Did Babe Ruth have any cards as an active player after the 33 Goudeys, aside from the 35 Four in One that essentially duplicates his picture from the 33? If not, those four cards were a pretty nice way to go out.

Not to sound morbid but if the 69 Mantle is excluded from this because it was post retirement then wouldn't that be true for the 73 Clemente? This coming from a huge Clemente fan.
I would have to go with 56 Jackie Robinson. Classic set and classic card. Drew
