Posted By: <b>Frank Wakefield</b><p>I was digging down into the bottom of a box in my closet, and came across a few baseball things I'd not looked at in several years. I got out the 07 Standard Catalog to see what it thought about these old goodies... and while I was admiring one item I noticed that there were several Hall of Fame players on it. In fact over 25% of the folks depicted are now in the Hall.<br /><br />So the question is, which vintage collectable depicts the most members of the Hall of Fame?? Please post your candidates. I'll get mine scanned in a while (daughter is on pc with scanner right now).<br /><br />Frank W.

Posted By: <b>fkw</b><p>I like Dans pick, I didnt even think of it. As far as on one card, it would obviously be a team premium or team card, and what can beat an all star team from the 30's.<br /><br />W517 sure has a high % for a set with around 50 cards (65% HOFers). W553 is 87% HOFers, W512 and W551 are 80% HOFers, W554 has 76% HOFers along with O'Doul.
