Which is more rare on average - Hank Aaron or Willie Mays cards?
Willie Mays and Hank Aaron played during the same era, and the cards of both players are basically in equal demand. The high numbered cards that were issued at the end of the year are more rare than the lower numbered cards that were issued at the beginning of the year. If one card would be more rare than the other this would be the reason. After taking a quick check of both players, most of their cards were issued in the earlier series, or are at least close to the same series of cards. I don't see any cards that might be more rare than the other.

How much is a baseball signed by Barry Bonds Will Clark and Willie Mays worth?
The value of a multi signed baseball cannot be priced by the value of each signature added up. Multi signed baseballs are valued as a group of signatures, and how desired that group is as a whole. This does not necessarily mean that two signatures will sell for less than one, but in most cases it does, or at least not the full value of the two (or three) signatures added up.
A Barry Bonds single signed baseball is worth about $150.-$250.. A Willie Mays single signed baseball is worth about $125.-$200.This is typically the price range collectors pay for these signatures, and the value will vary based on the authenticity, the condition of the signatures, availability, and the number of collectors in the market. The number of collectors in the market for both signatures, on one ball, would be lower than the number for each signature separately, and that would lower the value.
As a group of signatures the Barry Bonds, and Willie Mays signatures would make a desired duo. Two 600 home run club hitters, their connection with the Giants, and Mays being Barry Bonds Godfather. The added Will Clark signature makes the baseball less desired, lowering the number of collectors interest in it, and that will lower the value.
I could not find any auctions featuring any combination of Bonds, Mays, and Clark signed baseballs. It would most likely sell in the $200. - $250. price range. The value comes down to finding collectors that desire the signatures of all three players on one baseball or a Bonds, and Mays collector that will tolerate the Clark signature. If the Mays, and Bonds signature is on the sweet spot, it will have a higher value.
Signatures that have not been properly authenticated could sell at half the market value or less.

What are the three facts about Willie Mays?
1. On April 30, 1961, Mays almost pulled himself out of the lineup before a game with the Braves in Milwaukee. The night before, he and road roommate Willie McCovey had dined on barbecued ribs, and Mays became ill after eating them. But he decided to play and borrowed a bat from teammate Joey Amalfitano. He then went out and became the ninth player in baseball history to hit four home runs in a game.
2. On July 2, 1963, pitchers Juan Marichal of San Francisco and Warren Spahn of Milwaukee were involved in a scoreless duel that ended in the bottom of the 16th inning. Mays won the game with a solo home run off Spahn that gave the Giants a 1-0 victory.
3. In May, 1972, Giants owner Horace Stoneham reluctantly traded Mays, San Francisco's aging superstar, to the New York Mets. The Giants were experiencing financial problems and sagging attendance, and Stoneham realized that Mets owner Joan Payson was a Mays fan since his days with the New York Giants. As luck would have it, Mays' first appearance in a Mets uniform was against the Giants in Shea Stadium on May 14, 1972. In the fifth inning, he hit what turned out to be the game-winning home run against his former team.
