From '48 to '52, the Exhibit team cards were marked "World Champions" and "National League Champions" (since the AL won the Series each year). For some reason ESCO didn't do team cards in '53, then from '54 through '56, they were marked "AL Champions" and "NL Champions." Doesn't answer your question, I know. And why not continue with the "World Champs/League Champs" format? Definitely weird, as you say.
