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

Another angle, from Game 4 per the Los Angeles Times:

This must be the first time he gets his name on a card. It's a 1960 Bell Brand.

Default It wasn't a licensing issue with Wills

Wills attended a Detroit Tigers camp. He was the only prospect Topps did not sign in the Camp. Their scout thought he was not Major League material. He was returned to the Dodgers. Wills resented he was not originally signed and held out from Topps his first few years after he made the Majors. Players received a nominal fee from Topps along with some crap from a catalog.

And strange that Topps included his non-card from 1962 as part of their 1975 MVP sub-set.
