There was a thread like this about a Mays and Mantle card on the PSA threads a little ways back— it was about how in a Memory Lane auction, a PSA 9 of the 1961 Mays was blowing away the price of the PSA 9 Mantle after a few days of bidding.
When it was all said and done, the Mantle sold for double the Mays. Who knows what happens in this new instance based on these two cards in question, their relative eye appeal, who is bidding, etc., but I think judging any auction by early bidding is always tough to do.
That said, anecdotally I have seen guys looking to grab Mays cards now due to his eventual passing; some fearing a price spike and others just blood merchants looking to flip at that time— the latter is a bit dark yet it is just part of the card world I guess.
