Anyone know the origin of the spelling of his first name? Most of these cards have it spelled in the traditional manner of 'Jimmy,' even including his signature on the fronts with him using the same spelling. Only a couple have it 'correctly' spelled 'Jimmie.'

Was it just lazy editing and research by the card companies or is there a deeper story here?

Spelling "Yastrzemski" correctly without needing to look it up since the 1980s.
