Abstract

Willie Mays, a legendary baseball player, has passed away at the age of 93, prompting an outpouring of admiration for his accomplishments. Mays was known for his exceptional skills and impressive statistics, earning him the title of a "five-tool player." Despite his greatness, Mays remained humble and was an inspiration to many. In the world of sports collectibles, Mays is considered an icon, although he has often been overshadowed by players like Babe Ruth and Mickey Mantle. The article also discusses the value and demand for memorabilia related to Mays and Mantle, with Mays' items seeing an increase in value but still falling short of Mantle's high prices. The recent passing of Mays has led to a spike in demand for his memorabilia, but it is uncertain if these increased values will be sustained in the long term. [Extracted from the article]
