Default First N.Y. Yankee card

What was the very first issue to refer to the N.Y. American Team as the Yankees?. My guess is the Sweet Capital Domino Disk of Knight and Street both are extremely scarce (less than 10 graded). Any other thoughts?

If that set is the first, then you should also include Chase, Cree, Ford, Knight, Quinn, Warhop and Wolter. Although it seems impossible, at least now, to know which were issued over the multiple years of distribution, the Street would not have been part of the set until 1912, the year he joined the Yankees.

Also and more importantly, I believe the P2 pins would share the same initial issue date as the PX7 pins. I know the graders and most checklists have the disks as starting in 1909, but I do not believe they came out until the following year.

T205 Chase references Yankee fans...

Also from WIKI:

Either "Yankees" or "Yanks" had been used frequently since 1904 in newspapers such as the New York Evening Journal, since "Highlanders" was hard to fit in headlines.[34] Such unofficial nicknames were common during that era,[15] but thereafter the official name took hold—the New York Yankees.[35]

Here is my original Yankee. This photo was taken by Carl Horner in 1903 as well:



Edited, misunderstood the question. Going to leave this here anyway though.

Depending upon your definition of a card, many consider the m101-6 Mendelsohn to be the first to claim Ruth as a Yankee.
