One of the first things struck me about the T206 cards were the outstanding sunsets in many of the images. There are other issues with such notable features as well, but I casually collect the "T206 Sunsets." It is a self-made checklist, and perhaps you could add more if find others you like.
But here is the 50-card T206 Sunset Subset. It includes 9 HOFers, I believe.

Now, I also have a couple other Subsets that I will occasionally collect:

And then there is my T206 Building/Stadium Subset, which includes cards of players with buildings or stadiums in the background. So far I have checklisted a rather attainable 29 cards, with 4 HOFers.

Best part is, many commons, the best images that the set has to offer, and several overlaps!!
Oddly enough, however, is that I don't think there is one card that is in all three - that is to say, I don't think that The Monster has even one card that has a guy wearing a sweater in front of a building under the setting sun!

In the interests of good sportsmanship, find him and prove me wrong!!!
