the ruppert jones 1982 card in the 1982 card set is completely different from the 1982 ruppert jones card in the ATG8 set.

WTF?

I actually happened to have Rupert Jones card handy, so I checked this out...at least his hits..

The card is arranged differently, but the probabilities are almost exactly the same. The on line version doesn't have him getting HBP though..

The 1982 set card also has him as a 2 injury, also different fielding rating

This is most likely because SOM re-released the 1982 season recently, and the ATG cards were based on the old research.

They redo a season on occasion and do additional analysis and revise the cards. 1982 was the most recent redo.

Just a guess

You would think that SOM would also update the cards in the ATG Set to the Cadillac cards of a particular season. How hard is that to do? :?

I think Robert is on the money with both his explanations.
