Jeff PReally? I didn't think Carey, Hooper or even Wagner were very tough. When I was set building last year, the Carey and Hooper were two of the first HOFers I was able to locate and then also saw them come up on ebay a couple times after that. Same with Wagner, I've seen him on ebay a couple of times in the past year and also in the major auction houses in various grades.
In terms of difficulty, I think Rousch and Plank are the toughest HOFers in mid-grade and above (Brown and Alexander are no picnic either). Barry is the toughest card in high grade as almost all are found OC (even the one in Scott Ireland's collection is an 8OC). There are currently only 2 PSA 8's with none higher and PSA 8 is actually the most common grade for CJ's that have been submitted (1922 of the 7216 graded by PSA are 8's - 26.6%).
Sorry, don't know if anyone really cares about this but I like talking about Cracker Jacks.
