Baseball HoF Set Idea - Revision

Ok, after a ton of work (well not that much, maybe an hour's worth), I have come up with this list of final cards. For most of them it was pretty easy, they had one card (i.e. Topps). I am only using basic set guidelines (no regional or limited edition cards), so that will further enhance the feasibility of this set to most collectors. Myself, I know there is no possible way I will ever be able to afford a Mantle rookie, etc., so I think many (like me) would enjoy a set like this.
However, there are three players I need help determining a final card for. There are no basic or master sets of these players, and the SMR doesn't list every card in the late 90s, so I am stuck. Those three: Phil Niekro, Dennis Eckersley, and Ryne Sandberg. Any help in getting these three would be greatly appreciated.
Anyways, here's the list (unless noted, the card company is Topps):
Ralph Kiner 1953 #191
Yogi Berra 1965 #470
Warren Spahn 1965 #205
Stan Musial 1963 #250
Red Schoendienst 1962 #575
Satchel Paige 1953 #220
Jackie Robinson 1956 #30
Hal Newhouser 1955 #24
George Kell 1958 #40
Larry Doby 1959 #455
Robin Roberts 1966 #530
Roy Campanella 1957 #210
Early Wynn 1962 #385
Richie Ashburn 1963 #135

Nellie Fox 1965 #485
Mickey Mantle 1969 #500
Willie Mays 1973 #305
Hoyt Wilhelm 1972 #777
Eddie Mathews 1968 #58
Ernie Banks 1971 #525
Hank Aaron 1976 #550
Al Kaline 1974 #215
Sandy Koufax 1966 #100
Harmon Killebrew 1975 #640
Roberto Clemente 1973 #50

Lou Brock 1979 #665
Willie Stargell 1983 Fleer #324
Phil Niekro UNKNOWN
Joe Morgan 1985 Donruss 584
Steve Carlton 1988 Fleer #7
Catfish Hunter 1979 #670
Tony Perez 1987 Fleer #209
Jim Palmer 1984 Donruss #576
Fergie Jenkins 1983 Fleer #498
Don Sutton 1988 #575
Rod Carew 1986 Donruss #280
Tom Seaver 1987 Fleer #45
Nolan Ryan 1994 UD #34
Johnny Bench 1984 Fleer #462

Dave Winfield 1995 UD #95
Robin Yount 1994 #310
George Brett 1993 SP #227

Paul Molitor 1999 UD #137
Ozzie Smith 1996 UD #440
Ryne Sandberg UNKNOWN
Wade Boggs 2000 UD #240

I'd love any and all input on this. It's been an interest to see those whose careers spanned a very short time (Koufax, for example) and those that seemed to stretch their careers far too long (Sutton, for example).
If I have missed any or made any mistakes, pass that feedback along too.
However, there are three players I need help determining a final card for. There are no basic or master sets of these players, and the SMR doesn't list every card in the late 90s, so I am stuck.

Assume this is only post war players?
Always looking for Topps Salesman Samples, pre '51 unopened packs, E90-2, E91a, N690 Kalamazoo Bats, and T204 Square Frame Ramly's
I'll make the revisions tomorrow and add them in.
