Probably depends on a couple of key factors:

1) How soon are you looking to sell? If you're not planning to sell for a long time, then waiting probably makes sense. Just because a lot can change in a decade or two when it comes to grading.

2) How strong will they grade? If they will grade low, then the only benefit to grading is to prove to a buyer that they're authentic. Since these are all HOFers, and a lot of early cards, my experience is that it usually makes financial sense to grade if they will grade at least a 4 or a 5. If they're at 8+, then it makes a ton of sense to grade. But also no rush unless you're looking to sell in the near future.

There's also a line of thinking that the graders have become particularly onerous in their grading of late. So submitting now might mean lower grades. Not sure if the graders will chill out in the future and start handing out higher grades, but it's another factor that seems to be pushing some people to not get their stuff graded now.
