Default Highest WAR Multi-Player RC w/ No HOFer?

Picked this card up today:



Got me thinking...is there a multi-player RC that doesn't feature a Hall of Famer with more total WAR represented?

Using BB-R WAR, Blue has 45.1 and Tenace has 46.8 for a total of 91.9.

Can anyone think of a card with a higher total? Maybe we need 2, 3, and 4 card categories?

(Apologies if this has already been discussed. If it has, I couldn't find the thread)

Almost a dead heat with Dwight Evans and Al Bumbry. 91.6 as I read it.

I remember going to a Giants game in 1978 and seeing Vida Blue shagging balls in the outfield during batting practice. He would reach down and flip the ball backwards, like he was hiking a football to his side, into the outfield bleachers, where people would scramble after the balls. It made me think he was a fan-friendly ballplayer.

This one is kind of cheating, but technically meets the criteria:

1963 Topps 537

Pete Rose - 79.6
Al Weiss - 2.3
Ken McMullen - 34.0
Pedro Gonzalez - 1.3

Total - 117.2

Or perhaps 1978 Topps 708 will be more palatable:

Bo Diaz - 11.5
Dale Murphy - 46.5
Lance Parrish - 39.5
Ernie Whitt - 18.3

Total - 115.8

But not Dale's RC.

1972 Topps #79 was 106.6 with Cecil Cooper (36.0), Carlton Fisk (68.4) and Mike Garman (2.2), but obviously there are higher.

Multi-player rookie card? Check.

No Hall of Famers? Check.

High total WAR? Check.
