It's weird that you would purposely misconstrue what I said.

In referring to the horizontal nameplate ("box"), that portion of the normal card is bright green. Since green is the result of mixing yellow and cyan ("blue"), pointing out that there is yellow evident there means there was undoubtedly yellow printed across the ENTIRE front of the card (skin tones, etc.) and wasn't 'missing' (on that one card, at least).
Obviously, it's just the easiest place to spot the color, seeing how green that section was supposed to be, and that's why I specifically referenced it.

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