Many, many of the cards for Meyers and Bender are last-name only and yet are slabbed with their nicknames. SGC even labels T205 Meyers as Chief, when his card carries a faux auto and back name of J.T. Meyers. They label him as Chief and not J.T. "Chief" Meyers or John "Chief" Meyers even when Chief is nowhere to be found on the card. Same for Cracker Jack Bender.
As for C46, while I don't collect them, I believe they label all cards in that set by last name only, so uniformity might dictate why he is not labeled Dummy Taylor.
