I suppose it depends what the question is asking. Is the question: Who are the best 5 baseball players of alltime? Who are the most popular HOFs among pre-war collectors for collecting purposes? I think the answer would differ depending on what question is being asked.

I think the most popular among collectors of pre-war cards are:

Wagner
Cobb
Johnson
Mathewson
Ruth

Best players of all-time:

Cobb
Ruth
Williams
Mays
Johnson


Close runner-ups:

Gerhig
Young
