I think the future will be kinder to him as people who had interactions with him pass. He was notorious for being horrible to be around if you were a fan.

I agree. I can't speak to how the older generation sees him but I'm 42 and when I was growing up it was:

Aaron 755
Ruth 714
Mays 660
Robinson 586

As a kid those were the GOATs (along with Ted Williams) to me. I think this new crop of collectors has a very different view of Robinson. Top 25 in WAR, MVP in each league, triple crown, first black manager. That's a helluva resume.

I like any card that tells me ice cream cones are good for me and that I should have one every day.
