Worst set for Hall of Famers

This is why IMHO the 56 topps set is the greatest of all time. Not only did it have all the stars (except Musial) but the design is flawless.

1954 Red Heart has 33 cards with 11 being HOFers. 1 of 3 is the highest percentage I�ve seen or come across for any set that was made up of current (at the time) players that eventually were induct in the hall.

Here are the percentages for the baseball sets I collect (the PSA sets don't include executives such as Harridge and Giles, so that's why '56 shows only 32).

What you the percentages look like for unique players? Clearly in 1962 Topps some players have multiple cards included in those numbers.

The Topps 1948 Magic Photos set includes a baseball subset of 19 cards that includes 14 HOFers , although 2, Tinker and Evers, appear on one card
