HOF Saturation Game
After running across this card on eBay, I thought it would be oddly cool to see how many 'regular' cards (not specials, league leaders, etc.) feature ONLY members of that sport's Hall of Fame on them. Having a pair of HOFers posing together is easy, but what about beyond that?
Rules are simple: 1) All persons appearing on the card must be identifiable. 2) All must be members of that particular sport's official Hall of Fame. 3) Managers and coaches (with some possible exceptions), etc., count. 4) Referees, umpires, and other non-game-participants are (obviously) excluded. 5) If any non-HOFer appears on the card, it is eliminated. Edited in order to spell out the spirit of the exercise: We're looking for 'regular' cards that only feature HOFers. They must be naturally-occurring shots on cards, not team or team-type cards or the like. Here you have Rick Barry, Willis Reed, Nate Thurmond...and like Little Jack Horner (who wouldn't have counted), we have Red Holzman in the lower right corner making his presence known... 1973natethurmond.jpg What card can you play??* *Yes, pun intended.

Pardon my density
But are team cards also excluded by definition?

) Judge's ruling: Team cards are definitely in the 'special' card category.

My thought was the Skybox Dream Team cards from 1992. Pretty sure that entire team is in the Hall of Fame.

When I read this my mind went immediately to the 1962 Topps Managers Dream card...you got Mickey Mantle and Willie Mays...with Ernie Banks and Hank Aaron in the background! I can't tell who that is off the left...so he doesn't count...not identifiable...
 EDITED - I didn't read the "not specials"...I would assume this would fall under special...but it's still cool and a natural shot...

Not sure this 1981-82 Kevin McHale card with Elvin Hayes and Wes Unseld works?
