David,

In general I would agree with you that order of induction means little. But to people like Buck O'Niel it matters a great deal that they were nominated before they passed away.

Also, for collectors it makes quite a bit of difference. The 5 HOF in the first class, their cards are hobby heavyweights whereas some of the people who came through the Veteran's Committee are virtually ignored.
