The most Hall of Famers, update 18

 
Hall of Fame induction ceremony time is/was today. I may catch the highlights later, but I'm not really too interested. I see this happening more frequently as more '90s players are inducted into the Hall.

Scott Rolen, I think, is the first HOFer to make his solo Topps card debut when I was on my card-collecting hiatus. OK, that's not right. There was Vlad Guerrero Jr. in there and Ortiz, too. It gets hazy for me in the mid-1990s.

I don't have anything against '90s guys making the Hall. Rolen's admittance is fine with me, you don't need me to give my approval anyway. But I don't have much of an attachment. That's why I promised I'd do another one of these Most Hall of Famer posts when the BBWA made their decision a few months ago and then forgot to do it. Well, that and these posts are long-and-tedious to do.
 
So with the most joy I got out of this post happening in the previous three paragraphs, let's get to it! I didn't break the other promise, we're finishing off the Topps sets from the '70s and '80s this time, and I threw in a couple more that included Rolen in the set.

Oof, that took way too long. Note to self: write the next update in stages
 
The top 10 sets with Hall of Famers is basically unchanged since the last time. 1974 and 1985 sneak into the final slot.
 
1. 1969 Topps - 51
1. 1983 Topps - 51
3. 1971 Topps - 50
3. 1972 Topps - 50
5. 1984 Topps - 49
6. 1973 Topps - 47
6. 1975 Topps - 47
8. 1970 Topps - 46
8. 1978 Topps - 46
10. 1974 Topps - 45
10. 1979 Topps - 45
10. 1981 Topps - 45
10. 1985 Topps - 45
10. 1993 Topps - 45 
 
So the 1970s and 1980s are finished. Next time I'd like to get the '50s done. I figure there are 2 or 3 posts left in this series. I think I'll be done with it at this time next year.
 
Or this could last five more years. You know how that goes.

Great read. I personally enjoy seeing the induction of 90s players (bit that is probably because I grew up watching those guys.
What do you make of the huge drop after the 1993 set? Fewer superstars in the game?

I can understand smaller numbers after 2010, because players' eligibility hasn't run out yet.

A number of notable stars retired in the early '90s: Brett, Yount, Ryan, Carter, Fisk, Blyleven. A few more were on their way out: Trammell, Morris, Sandberg. It was reflected in the 1999 induction class as Ryan, Brett and Yount all went in together.

Also, some of the best players of the '90s haven't gotten in because of steroids.

I think the 1969 and 1983 will be the leaders for a long time. Dick Allen and Dwight Evans can still possibly get in.

1987 is a long shot - Bonds, McGwire, Clemens, Rose (who would also push up 69 and 83) could eventually get in

Love the 69 Kaline. Got that signed by him in red(!) Ball point pen ink in the late 70s. 69 set also last year for Mantle and I believe only year for Joe Gordon as Mgr too. Steroids has definitely kept down some of the 90s sets. Thanks for putting together thus amazing list!

I got an idea..(NO says uh oh). Next time with this series (being so short- taking no time whatsoever) do it by spelling every word backwards. Then it can be interactive with all of your readers. We can get a mirror and read it. Fun.

I will need to be paid up front.

Love this annual post. The level of research you've done is impressive... and the analysis by your readers is awesome too.
