I knew I should have consulted my own website before responding about HOF "rookies" in the T206 set. FWIW, it isn't yet complete, but it's my mission to finally complete it by this year. For those so inclined to check it out:

T206 HOF rookies, depending on one's definition,
could include the following:
Home Run Baker - 1910 (Series of 350)
Eddie Collins - 1909 (Series of 150)
Rube Marquard - Hands at Thighs - 1909 (Series of 150)
Tris Speaker - Spring of 1910 (Series of 350)
Zach Wheat - 1910 (Series of 350)
My checklist of earliest known cards/photos of Wheat is the following:
