Baseball Cards of every Major League Baseball Hall of Famer

"The one constant through all the years, Ray, has been baseball. America has rolled by like an army of steamrollers. It has been erased like a blackboard, rebuilt and erased again. But baseball has marked the time. This field, this game, is a part of our past, Ray. It reminds us of all that once was good, and that it could be again”

Terence Mann (Field of Dreams)

The Baseball Hall of Fame Members pages provide images, photos of collectibles, and summary information pertaining to the members of the Major League Baseball Hall of Fame. This section of The Dinosaur Fan is, of course, totally unrelated to the rest of this site. It’s a guilty pleasure for an old man whose love of baseball and baseball card collecting never really became extinct. It’s my way of honoring my boyhood heroes and returning to baseball card collecting in a virtual sense.

* The quantity of items (e.g., cards, stickers, studio photos) is primarily based on the set counts/listings contained in the Trading Card Database.

It is not too surprising that “modern” players have the most collectibles which is primarily due to the large number of companies/products providing cards since the 1980’s. Only six players whose careers began before 1960 made this top 50 list (Roberto Clemente, Mickey Mantle, Willie Mays, Stan Musial, Babe Ruth, and Ted Williams).

Also somewhat predicable are the members of the Hall of Fame with the least number of collectibles. What you find are mostly Negro League Players (the three prominent Negro leagues all disbanded by 1960 and not many companies produced collectibles of these players), 19th century major league players (just about the only collectibles at that time were issued by a small number of tobacco companies and studio photographers), and executives along with umpires which generally do not have a “fan base” to motivate companies to produce collectibles of these individuals.
