One question I posed in the video, which I'll pose here, too, is whether there are any examples in other Topps sets of HOFers appearing in back-to-back cards, like Roberts and Morgan.

The most obvious one was 1956 Topps. #30 Jackie Robinson, #31 Hank Aaron, also Roberto Clemente was #33. It happened 3 more times in that set, 109 Slaughter 110 Berra, 164 Killebrew 165 Schoendienst, 194 Irvin 195 Kell.
1955 has a unique situation with #123 Koufax and #124 Killebrew both HoF RCs. Card #125 is Ken Boyer's RC, who many think will make the HOF one day.
