I have been collecting baseballs with HOF inscription for sometime now. I have pretty much most of the guys who would include HOF except for a few of the high priced ones. Unfortunately, I am considering stopping collecting baseballs with HOF, as the prices for the new guys are out of hand. I have everybody with HOF including the 2014 class except Mantle, Drysdale, Gehringer, and a few others. The guys in the 2015 class have crazy high prices, which I cannot stomach paying. I was watching three auctions last night on eBay for John Smoltz, Randy Johnson, and Pedro Martinez. All of these balls were recently signed at MAB shows with HOF 15. The total for all three at the final hammer was $500. That is just too much for me to justify. I will continue to collect the HOF plaque postcards, at least I don't have to pay for the inscription fee!
