I agree (to an extent; I had to collect Mays for my 1953 Topps project but probably wouldn’t have otherwise). I think Mays outliving Mantle has hurt his collectibility. I’ve heard stories that sometimes Mantle could be a jerk, but they are in the minority, and he hasn’t been a jerk to anyone since 1995. Mays was a jerk to somebody yesterday. Mays is chasing a ghost.
As for OP’s question, Robinson, for the reasons others have mentioned.
