Set with most HOFers???

That's the real question. With somebody like Frank Robinson in the '75 set, he truly has two cards, a regular player card where he's listed as a DH, and a manager card.

But beyond those, where does it stop? Highlight cards? MVP cards? World Series recap cards? An outline as to what, specifically, is acceptable, would help make this a much easier exercise.

IMHO, the Frank Robinson example would count as two cards. The highlight cards could count if it was a highlight of a future HOFer. An MVP card would count if the MVP later turned out to be a HOFer. Same goes with the World Series Recap cards. I would also say that if somehow a HOF player ended up on a Team card, but didn't have their own individual card in the set, this would count as an additional card...

Percentage-wise the '34-36 Diamond Stars set has 33% ... 32 HOFers of 96 cards.
Cards 97 to 108 depict players included in the first 96, thus I think the 32/96 figure is the best representation of the HOFer ratio; this certainly could be debated.
Of the 12 high number duplicates, five are HOFers.
