One explanation might be found in the way the cards were distributed--in separate boxed sets for AL and NL. Seems one pristine set cracked and submitted might yield a large number of gems at one time, in this case A.L. If there were a small find of two or three such sets, that could skew it even more in favor of the A.L.
