Uncommon card · No. 78662

Ming (2000–2019) was a tiger that was found living in an apartment in Harlem, New York City, United States, in October 2003, when he was approximately three years old. Ming lived semi-openly with his owner, Antoine Yates, in a room of Yates' five-bedroom apartment on the fifth floor of a large public housing complex. Several other exotic pets were found in the apartment and seized by police, including an alligator named Al in another bedroom. Yates received a 5-month prison sentence for reckless endangerment. Ming was taken to Noah's Lost Ark Animal Sanctuary in Berlin Center, Ohio, where he died from natural causes in February 2019. He was buried at the Hartsdale Pet Cemetery in Hartsdale, New York.
