Maybe the Mets connection is it. I mean don't get me wrong, I'm glad he's popular since he is my favorite player, but just to note my subconscious attitude toward him in a NY uniform, today I won Chuck's Bingo Baseball and Mays in a Mets uniform was an option I could have chosen as a prize, but I didn't pick that particular card because he wasn't shown as a Giant.
So maybe there's just psychological matters involved here that I don't wish to admit to while pursuing this particular card, whereas I didn't have issues giving up cards for those other HOFers with whom I wasn't that attached to as I was (am) with Mays. It seems like I should be one to pay whatever the cost for anything Mays. And I probably would ... were he in Giants gear.
