The title says it all. What hockey HOF rookies are in the 1979 Topps set other than Wayne Gretzky?

Thanks,

Maybe not many big rookies other than the Great One, but it's chock full of stars. Besides icons of Hull and Howe, there's a ton of HOF'ers like Trottier, Bossy, LaFlueur, Dionne, Dryden, the Esposito brothers, Park, Ratelle, L.Robinson, Potvin, Salming, etc.. It just goes on and on and one. One of my all time favorite sets. The only thing that would have made it even better is for Mark Messier and Ray Bourque to have debut'ed one year earlier.

I like Messier and Bourque in the 80-81 set. Much better looking card in my opinion. Still, 79-80 is a classic hockey issue!

Those 79's are BRUTAL to find in great shape. The last thing I would want to have to track down would be Bourque and Messier rookies in that set too.

I think there are more but not sure if they are all HOF.

Sorry did not see the rookie part...
