Also -- the refractors were NOT noted as such and it can be difficult to telll if a card is a reftractor or not. I know some peoiple can tell the difference but not all of us.
So, I'd be willing to wager that some of the graded "refractor" cards are just base cards which could appar to be refractors
Topps occasionally still does not label refractors to this very day (2015 Topps Chrome BB) and there were many collectors who did not recognize cards they had as refractors or might have thought base cards were refractors. I wrote about that and even saw plenty of on-line posts with the same issues.
Nothing new 22 years later. Sometimes the same issues keep popping up
