Earliest card with x HOFers
 

I'm interested in compiling a list of the earliest baseball card with each possible number of Hall of Famers up to whatever the maximum number on a single card is. Here's my stab at it. Any corrections?

Number of Hall of Famers: card
0: 1860 Brooklyn Atlantics CDV
1: 1863 Grand Match at Hoboken
2: 1869 Peck & Snyder Red Stockings
3: 1871 J.A. Pierce Red Stockings
4-5: 1873 Boston B.B.C. cabinet
6-14(?): 1881 Randall National League composite cabinet

7 HOFers - 1894 Betz Studio Baltimore Team Composite Cabinet
- includes Brouthers, Hamlin, Jennings, Keeler, Kelley, McGraw, and Wilbert Robinson.

8? - I believe the 1925 W504 Universal Toy Giants team card has 8 HOFers.

I stand corrected. It’s 9 HOFers on the w504.

Here’s the old thread where it was discussed (and a pic provided - post 24):

I couldn't make them all out from the photos, but I believe this cabinet card should feature 14 Hall of Famers if in fact it has all the regular NL players from 1881.

Glenn - Very cool! I hadn’t seen that one before! I’ll need to add this to my checklist. Grrr…
