The most Hall of Famers, yearly update (2025)

 
 
Back in January, when we knew the five former players who were going to be inducted into the Baseball Hall of Fame for 2025, I wrote a post on those five players, mentioning how many cards I had of each of them.
 
I went back to that post to see if I had gained any cards of Dick Allen, Dave Parker, CC Sabathia, Ichiro Suzuki or Bobby Billy Wagner since.
 
I did. None for Sabathia or Wagner, but one each for Allen and Suzuki and five for Dave Parker. That makes sense, since Parker is from my era and I always want his cards. But I was surprised I had gathered a whole five and I didn't know which ones those were (the one above is one of them though). The key thing to know is it gave me more than 100 Parker cards as in January the total stood at 99.
 
Dave Parker's induction was the one I was looking forward to most. Unfortunately, he passed away last month and now the induction ceremony is a lot less interesting to me as both Parker and Allen are gone.
 
But this weekend does give me the opportunity to update my Most Hall of Famers series with the five additional players. Last summer I mentioned that since I had totaled the Hall of Famers for every Topps flagship set that I would update this post once a year with the new Hall of Famers added.
 
I hadn't counted on five being selected though. That's a lot of updating -- basically a span from 1964 to 2019 with only a couple years skipped. So that thing I did with posting a card for every year is not going to happen. Instead I'm inserting cards of each of the five in an appropriate spot. That's probably how it's going to go for future versions of this, too.
 
I'm also just listing the years that changed. If you want to see the other years, go back to last year's post.
 
Here are the updated years:

2019 makes its debut on the list.
 
The more recent years made the most gains this time, which will be the case. 2001-2008 added three more Hall of Famers. 2012, 2016, 2017 and 2018 added two more Hall of Famers. Ichiro's absence from Topps sets for awhile kept other years from joining the list of two-or-more.
 
Also 1974, 1975 and 1976 jumped up by two Hall of Famers as well. And those are the years that affect the Top 10. Here's the new 10 with the most Hall of Famers: 
 
1. 1969 Topps - 52
1. 1983 Topps - 52
3. 1971 Topps - 51
3. 1972 Topps - 51
5. 1984 Topps - 50
6. 1975 Topps - 49 
7. 1973 Topps - 48
8. 1993 Topps - 47
8. 1970 Topps - 47
8. 1978 Topps - 47
 
The changes include 1975 moving out of a three-way tie to hold sixth place all by itself. Also 1993 Topps fell from a tie for sixth down to a tie for eighth. And 1992 dropped off the list, for now anyway.
 
1984 also reached the 50 milestone and 1988 hit 40 Hall of Famers. Meanwhile, 1969 and 1983 remain tied for the lead with 1971 and 1972 still a single Hall of Famer behind.
 
And that will be it until this time next year.

Nice update. Since Allen is from my era, I have almost all his base Topps cards. Still searching for an affordable 71. I remember him making a significant impact when he first came to the majors. He was Richie the first few years, then Rich and then Dick. Not sure why his name kept changing.

I do like a nice batting cage card. 2027 Heritage is starting to appeal to me.
This is neat. Have you considered making a standalone page on your blog for this? TCDB does this but they include all the inane SPs and Variations. For example, 2018 has 32 cards for HOF players, https://www.tcdb.com/SetHOF.cfm/sid/155909/2018-Topps, which includes duplicates like Joe Mauer's base card and his appearance on the team card. Your list is better.

A. Love this annual post.

B. If Garvey (or Hernandez or Whitaker or Murphy) ever get in... 1983 wouldn't have to share the #1 spot anymore :D

So almost 8% of the 1969 set is HOFers. If you stretched this back to the early 50s, some of those small-size sets like '54 and '55, wonder what the % would be.

1954 and 1955 are also at 8 percent (8.4 for '54 and 8.7 for '55), likely because Topps was still competing with Bowman then and didn't have all the star players in its sets.

Fuji, I like the idea of 1983 taking the top spot, but there are a bunch of guys I think deserve that more than Garvey. Besides Hernandez and Whitaker, there's Tommy John, Dwight Evans, Bobby Grich, and Luis Tiant. Probably others I'm not thinking of. Although Tiant and John would also up the 1969 count by one and preserve the tie.

Amused at "Bobby Wagner".
