I don't think that should be the takeaway for you. People are interested in HOF baseballs. The question is whether or not its worth spending money on certification. For me, I would cert given 2 conditions. 1) I am selling the item in the near term. I would never cert something that i plan to hold for years. 2) that the increase in sales price is more than the cost of the cert process(fees plus shipping, etc). If you spend $30 to cert a ball that will only sell for $20 more its obviously not worth it.
You need to search around to see the selling prices of the balls you have to see if it makes monetary sense to send. Many of the HOFer that were alive during the 80s and 90s have truckloads available and so the cost of certing might not be justified. Higher end or rarer signatures many definitely be worth it. It all depends.
