This is highly belated, but thanks, Brian, for posting this!
I accidentally ran across this post ~10 years ago (possibly my first exposure to net54, long before I was a member) when I was a few dozen cards into the end panels. It was nice to see that I wasn't the only one who was interested; but more importantly, it was extremely helpful to be able to cross-reference against your checklist -- at that point I already knew which players were included, but I didn't know about the various variations and had several gaps that I wasn't even aware of. I'm finally starting to approach the end (141/144 on the end panels, 72/76 on centers) and wanted to let you know how grateful I am for this information; I wouldn't have been able to get this close if I hadn't known what I needed to look for. .

Does anyone know what "...mowing down the Yankees in 1910 (14 in one game)..." refers to on the back of Mathewson's card?
Neither the Giants or Yankees were in the World Series in 1910 and according to Mathewson's game log on Baseball Reference, the most he struck out in a regular season game in 1910 was 11. Does this refer to an exhibition or pre-season game? And weren't the Yankees called the Highlanders in 1910?

 As for the team name, the New York Americans were often called the Yankees as well s the Highlanders. The T205s from the prior year carried that name on the card fronts as did some of the back descriptions. T202 apparently stuck with the same theme.

Sorry for the hijack
Hi Brian, it’s amazing the minutiae one remembers. I learned of the New York city series some time back when I was researching Louis Drucke, the Giants pitcher who appears in only a handful of sets, none of which are standard “cards” unless you count Pinkerton cabinets in that group. Anyway, one of Matty’s appearances in that series was in relief of Drucke, who faltered in the 7th inning of game 3. Five days later Drucke was on board a New York subway train that derailed, and what were thought to be relatively minor injuries then manifested during the following Spring training games. He was never the same, and was out of baseball not long thereafter– a shame in that he was projected to be a star.
Sorry for the hijack, but I always wondered who this Drucke guy was and it led me down this path.

Thanks everyone for the research! It does sound familiar that Yankees was used "unofficially" before it was official.
Curious that they went with an exhibition performance rather than say "won 37 games in 1908" or "retroactively led league in WAR the past four seasons."  I guess striking out 14 batters in a game was bigger news than winning 30 games (ho hum) in those days.
