Klrdds seems to have the highest count on the board, and I want to say he is in the 290 range which, honestly, may be higher than Cooperstown. Without spending a decent amount of time looking things up, I would say 10? additional members are in the 220-240 range. I know of some other collectors that are above 250, but they never show their face here
I would say there are 10-20? HOFer autographs that simply do not exist in the open market (Hill, Grant, Torriente) or only 1-5 examples exist and are in collections that will never become available (Joss, Thompson, Waddell). That being said, you could probably acquire over 200 of them without spending more than $500 on any one individual signature. However, once you go over a certain point, things go up exponentially.
PSA/DNA actually has a HOF Rarity index here:

I agree with most of it, except Jesse Burkett and Barney Dreyfuss-I think they should be switched (Dreyfuss is an Extreme rarity by them and Burkett is a 9)
