Bob, I did that with my MLB collection many years ago. I pulled all cards of any non-PC players that were in the HOF to put them together. I put each player in alphabetical order by last name, then by year of card and ABC by brand. I put Negro League Only inductees afterwards in the same order and then Managers, then Ref's and then Executives The only way that fits TCDB is by the person's CL itself (but this was started long before I joined this site). But I thought it was starting to look messy in an album and after trading away chunks of several HOFers, I decided to put all the cards back into the sets they came from in the beginning. It was becoming a hassle to keep up with where all of my cards were for each new inductee to pull and move them to the HOF album. I think I disbanded the HOF album some time after Roberto Alomar went in and before Barry Larkin went in. But it might have been right after Larkin went in and I was having trouble finding all the Larkin cards I owned. Since that time, more of my non-STL PC players have been elected to the Hall (like Griffey Jr., Thome, I-Rod), so my MLB PC now has a pretty good collection of HOFers.
In any sport, I no longer consider HOF as criteria for separation in my traders. I also don't consider HOF as criteria for what to keep now. I only keep my favorite teams, athletes and complete sets. Everything else is FT/S, including dupes of my faves. I hope this helped you a little bit.
