It has always been my opinion that the 1962 Rookie Parade cards were tougher than the other high numbers from 1962 because team collectors for up to five different teams collected a specific Rookie Parade card to complete their respective team set. With the 595 card being one with just four players (instead of 5) representing only three unique teams, no major stars, and with the players from primarily smaller markets (including TWO A's players), there is less demand for this Rookie Parade card.
While the 596 card has only two unique teams represented, the two Yankee players depicted on that card make it much more desirable than the 595 card with two lesser known A's players.
The 597 card is similar tot he 595 card in many aspects, but the demand for this card is greater likely due to the markets/teams represented.
