I was just about to post this. Besides the issues with Mays' off-field persona, I'm sure the mere fact Mays moved over to the West Coast with the Giants has a lot to do with it. There are just significantly more Yankees and East Coast baseball fans out there (even now, let alone back in the 50s and 60s).
I personally feel Mays is probably best to ever play the game so far. It's just odd that Mantle's card values are head and shoulders above Mays'.
