Lots of checklists (e.g. 1971 Topps Series 1)
Dave
Most of the League Leader cards from pre 1980.
A number of the MVP cards from the 75 set
1964 HR leaders with Aaron-Mays-McCovey-Cepeda.

All true those are HOFers on such cards, but davidlisa asked about ROOKIE HOFers sharing a card.
I guess one of the most popular RC's that never was would be if Seaver and Ryan coexisted on a '67 high number. Alas!
If Carlos Delgado could have just pulled his weight....
His original post did not have "rookie" in the title I'm pretty sure, hence why there were the posts that were posted. He edited his post after the first 3 responses.
Not baseball, but here are a couple HOF RC multi-player cards if you're willing to consider beyond mainstream:
Andreychuk/Lemieux/Yzerman:
Beckenbauer & Muller:
Also, there are several different 1958 Brasil footballer team cards that feature multiple hall of famers (Pele/Garrincha)
Fair enough! I saw only the revised title.
No Worries, it had me stumped for a second too when you made the comment, lol
Here's another obscure choice for you guys
1978 Panini Ski 78 - #185-186 Soviet Union National Ice Hockey Team w/ HOF RC's of Vjacheslav Fetisov & Sergej Makarov
(1 year earlier issue than several 1979 Sportscaster & Panini cards with those two on them; even though PSA labels the year range on graded Sportscasters rather than the individual year of issuance for card within the set (except for Finnish version for some inconsistent reason), such as "1976-80" being on the flip for example, it is only fair to consider the issue year rather than the set range for the sake of which is the earliest possible card for someone IMO).
I guess the word "rookie" would have been my best clue
This will be one in a few years.
I always really liked this card from the 1972 set featuring Roger Staubach and Rayfield Wright. While not considered either's rookie, it is from the same set as their Hall of Fame rookie cards.
I just wish Topps hadn't airbrushed the Star off the helmets...
The Doomsday Collection
Dallas Cowboys Ring of Honor | All-Time Dallas Cowboys | Bob Lilly Master | Pro Football HOF Dallas Cowboys
A few years from now, the 2004 Fleer Tradition #351 will join the list.
It's the rookie card for Eli Manning, Philip Rivers and Ben Roethlisberger.
Three quarterbacks, three HOFers.
Steve
Taking the above post - believe fleer also had a Lebron/Wade/Melo.
As a parallel list of eventual HOF RC's seems to be compiling, I'll add one under that category as it has a minimum of 3 HOF players on it in Lundqvist, Crosby and Ovie, and debatable but could end up more than that some day too:
Another one that fits the OP question that came to mind: 1974 OPC Leafs Team, w/ Lanny McDonald and Borje Salming
(not my card)
Not sure on the Fleer, but I know Topps did
Probably should have thought of this one immediately: 1978 Topps Tigers Team and also the 1978 Topps Team Checklist Sheet-Hand-Cut Tigers Team, both #404, w/ Tramm & Morris
Don’t know how to post a photo. Boo me. But love the 1972 Sunoco Stamps John Riggins. Link to a listing for a PSA 10. It’s his rookie-year “card.” Fellow HOF member Curley Culp, whose official rookie card came out a year later, is chasing him down. Especially like the lack of airbrushing in the set. Sets it apart from Topps issues of the era, like the 1972 Topps Pro Action that prgsdw posted above.
Here ya go:

Liquidating my collection for the 3rd and final time. Time for others to enjoy what I have enjoyed over the last several decades. Money could be put to better use.
1974 OPC Canadiens Team, w/ HOF Rookies Bob Gainey and Steve Shutt
Sort of similarly interesting that the low number 1967 Mets Team Card has Ryan but no Seaver, even though Seaver's RC was issued in 1967 and Ryan's in 1968.
It's too bad one turned out to be gang banging scumbag. This card had potential back in 2010. Not my pic, but I still have one just like this one.
Thought of another: 1961 Topps NY Rangers Team, w/ HOF Rookies Jean Ratelle & Rod Gilbert
Seems like this thread has the potential makings of an interesting Type Card set on the registry.
