FWIW since I've been going through and updating them, but I've been keeping up lists here for every "HOF" gimmick that each MLB team has, including number retirements and statues in and around the team's ballpark. 

The vast majority of holes in the lists are obviously non-uniform personnel.  Executives, broadcasters, PA announcers, clubhouse staff, etc.

There is however ONE player who is completely MIA from this site.  Granted its an 1800s American Association player, Will White.  So its probably understood why he's not represented in these databases.  But the Cincinnati Reds did induct him into their HOF back in 2004, despite pitching for them from 1878-1880 and again in 1882-1886.  Also notable is that in my list of players who have accumulated 200 or more MLB wins, he is the lone one missing from these databases as well.  What can you do!

BTW, one of my “favorite” UERs of all-time is actually a “only card for a specific team card”

In the Wiz 1991 “Mets All-Time Roster” mega set includes a one-game Met in 1987.  

This guy had a couple of seasons run in Milwaukee, which included a few base set cards to do an airbrushed image off of, and even was photographed for some Met minor league cards in 1987!

But he happened to have the same name as an iconic baseball legend who had been a Met pitching coach a few years earlier, so guess who showed up on the 1991 entry for “Bob Gibson”?

I am trying for the main flagship releases from the major companies for the Pittsburgh Pirates and organizing by year within the binders so the topps binder starts at 1974 (for now) and goes up to 2023and donruss binder at 81-current and same with fleer and score/pinnacle  and so on. The last collection I bought had a lot of red sox from the junk wax Era but I'm still adding cards. Basically if it's not a Pirates cards it's for sale/trade. Oh and there was a lot of 1995 fleer ultra series 2 football in there too lots of gold parallels. Doesn't have to  be one of every player ever but it will close enough for me. I do like all the parallels and chase cards but the idea is to show what the team/design  looked like year to year.
