Never noticed that before, the 1st Series has both N.Y. and New York, the 3rd Series has N.Y. but otherwise it looks like all of the rest are New York.

Interesting...I was looking through my set last night and after reading this tried to see if there was any patterns as to when they would use the different spellings. No rhyme or reason...color didn't matter, neither did size of the players name. Looks really random...good catch, I will now not unsee that...

Dean's cards isn't good for much but they do have this handy page where you can scroll thru the '63 Mets team set and check out the two team name variations

The same holds true for the Yankees. The legend on the Maris card is “New York Yankees”, but on Mantle it’s “N.Y. Yankees”. Not sure why the discrepancy, it’s not due to a space issue where it is on the card or anything. Berra also got “N.Y. Yankees”.
I guess there was just less insinuated need for precision back in the day… Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Not sure I understand the question, or at least why it's limited to New York. Seems that many (all?) teams have different abbreviations; e.g. Indians show “Clev.”, "Cleve” and “Cleveland”, and Colt '45s show "Hous.", "Houston" and even just "H.". The choice didn't really seem to be limited to space limitations but I only made a cursory check. Am I missing something?
