The problem is that they don't fit the years. They really need to be on the correct team and that would mean adding 1971 to make room for one. Seaver could take the 1971 Topps slot and either Ryan or Carlton the 1973 slot. Those are both great looking cards. Carlton has his 27 win season. Ryan had a 2.28 ERA and 329 Ks.

Yaz has a gloriously happy 1966 card. The '71 is an awfully close-up headshot, no??

And dropping the lower boundary a year would enable this card to be added:
![]() Unfortunately the Bob Feller card from 1952 is his Rookie card.

I am not doing 1951-53 because of cost and most cards are portraits. Paige is 2-3K in PSA 6 and it is still a portrait. There are only 2 HOFers who are not portraits, Newhouser, who isn't good enough for the list, and Mays, who costs ~7k. My idea was to do a fun project and not have to put much into it, so I can have a nice display of Topps designs through the years, with the best players.

This arrangement though would enable you to eliminate the Roberto Clemente and Ernie Banks head shots while adding the best looking card from the 1954 set:
1954 #1 Williams 1955 J Robinson 1956 Berra 1957 Aaron 1958 Spahn 1959 Banks* 1960 Clemente 1961 Koufax 1962 Musial 1963 Kaline * The 1959 Ernie Banks is a particularly great looking card: (Not mine.)
