The most Hall of Famers, update 19

 
The excitement over the selection of the most recent Baseball Hall of Fame class has passed, but I haven't addressed it with my usual Hall of Fame update yet. I'll cite the usual laziness and busyness.

There are four more people to add to the list of the most Hall of Famers for each Topps flagship set -- Adrian Beltre, Todd Helton, Joe Mauer and Jim Leyland. Also, I always find more sets to include in the rundown and this time I'm finishing off the 1950s. I also take the opportunity of the most recent class to update sets in which those inductees appeared.

These are all recent guys in this class so the sets I'm adding this time are 1999, 2014 and 2015 (the sets Leyland appeared in I've covered already).

Once I'm finished with this update, there will be just one more update to go! I've been doing these for more than 10 years so I'll be happy to cut back on this -- though I'll have to update one a year when a new class is elected.

All right, here we go. Some may be surprised I'm including 1951 Topps, but it was a set, you guys.

Phew, that was a two-day project but the 1950s are done. I knew that none of those years would have a lot of Hall of Famers. The limited set size and especially the parceling of stars between Topps and Bowman cut down on the numbers.
 
Jim Leyland's addition helped sets in the late '80s and early '90s, but especially the late '00s sets when included with Beltre, Helton and Mauer. 2012 broke into double digits. Also, the 2018 set has its first Hall of Famers in Beltre and Mauer.
 
As for the top 10, the leaders remain the same but the lower half changed a bit. 1993 jumped to tied for sixth and 1992's move to 46 total cut off previous top 10 sets from 1968, 1974, 1979, 1981 and 1985, which all have 45.
 
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
6. 1993 Topps - 47
9. 1970 Topps - 46
9. 1978 Topps - 46
9. 1992 Topps - 46
 
Outside of any future Hall of Famers who appear in Topps sets from 2019-2024, there is just one set to update. It's 1994. 

I'll do that in the final edition -- at least as far as doing these multiple times a year, it'll just be a once-a-year project afterward. That update with '94 will probably be around late July when the 2024 class is inducted.

Meanwhile, I think 1969 and 1983 are the sets with the most Hall of Famers for the forseeable future!

Would you consider adding Helton to the ‘93 set as well since he appears on a Team USA card in the ‘93 Traded set?
night owl said…
No, Traded sets are excluded, or I'd have include Leyland's wonderful 86 Traded card.

Glad to see the vintage year '69 leading the pack!

1996 Topps #13, 1998 Topps #323

I had 1998 on my list, just didn't add it. I'm still pondering that f-ing draft pick card in '96.
steelehere said…
1996 Topps is no different thatn1991 Topps Chipper which you included.
night owl said…
You can start your own Hall of Fame list then.
Kevin said…
What this tells me maybe is the hall of fame seems to be low on players who played between 1976-1982...I guess we don’t count managers in these sets, so maybe that has something to do with it.
1984 Tigers said…
The 69 set is wonderful for many reasons, but includes the only appearance as a player of Bobby Cox. Plus Joe Gordon and Ted Williams get back into the sets as managers. Reggie and Rollie rookies as future As 3x WS champs. First full cards of Bench and Ryan after shared rookie cards in 68. Mantle last card too, plus his checklist card.

Always look forward to this annual post. Happy that 1983 Topps still shares a spot at #1.
Craig H said…
Interesting....it would seem that in any given year, around six percent of players are Hall of Famers. (40/700) Intuitively, it seems high but...
Jafronius said…
Thanks for doing all that!

Tim Raines is on the Expos team card in the 1980 Topps set

I don't count team card appearances. Players have to be named on the card front.
