Maybe it also has to do with the higher grades for these particular cards, because as you speculated and pointed out, the full-bleed wood grain borders on the '62s do tend to highlight any edge and corner issues way more so than on cards with just white borders.
But then these are the kinds of conundrums that help to make, and keep, this hobby interesting to many of us. Good stuff!

Just to be clear, I was only comparing the Mays items from those two years, not other items. The same ratio may or may not hold true more generally.
