For the first time team cards carries series checklists on back (Milwaukee, Detroit, Baltimore and Cincinnati are also found with players listed alphabetically). In the first series, some cards were issued with yellow name (YL) or team (YT) lettering, as opposed to the common white lettering. They are explicitly noted in the Beckett checklists.
