...which has nothing to do with the opening post, but keep trying…

9.5 oWar and 9.1 WAR
Why is this card not high 90s or even perfect?
I try and understand the ratings behind the cards but some just make me scratch my head.
1963 the run scoring envrioment was begining to shift strongly towards pitchers after the 1950s and Aaaron that year was 79% better than league average.
This is one of the more baffling cards.

I obviously can't say anything about OOTPD's secret sauce for coming up with the individual ratings, but the overall ratings might of course be chosen in a way to make a card more or less readily available since it affects drop rate. Maybe the pundits decided that the Hank Aaron card should be readily available rather than another one of the 15k+ PP specialties.
