Which Regular Year Set Contains the Most Active HOFers?

By regular set, I mean a set that was designed to encompass the entire league, i.e. T205, 1957 Topps, etc. not just a set designed with only star players.
Also, if the player has more than one card in the set, it's still only "one" player.

T206 has 38 different HOFers although arguably, it shouldn't count since it spans 3 years. 1915 Cracker Jacks have 32 HOFers. What are some of the other high HOFer sets?

    1958 TOPPS BB has about four-dozen.


    The entire list by year and set can be compiled by using

    1940 Play Ball had 53, IIRC, but it included retired players.

    1950 R423 has 50 HOFers out of 120 players (#100 is still unknown), but it too includes retired players.

    '33 Goudey loses some of its HOFers that way too - Eddie Collins jumps to mind.
