1969 Topps White Letters

What is this variation?
Is the team name in white or the players name? I have wondered this for a while now. I recently purchased a collection with several 1969's and am not sure what to look for.
Thanks in advance!

    Player's name is in white versus yellow.

    I have some with
    first name white, last name yellow
    first name yellow, last name white
    first name black, last name white.
    Is the variation both names white?

    1969 Topps white letter cards are only in the 5th series (426-512). Here's the list of the 23 cards along with the description of the variation. If a card isn't on this list, and the names are in white, then it was intended to be that way and it's not a variation. Each of these cards had a later printing where the name (last for most, first for Padres and Pilots, and both for rookies) was in yellow.

    440a Willie McCovey (last name in white)
    441a Dennis Higgins (last name in white)
    444a Joe Moeller (last name in white)
    447a Ralph Houk (last name in white)
    451a Rich Rollins (first name in white)
    452a Al Ferrera (first name in white)
    454a Phillies Rookies (names in white)
    461a Mike Epstein (last name in white)
    464a Dave Marshall (last name in white)
    468a Pirates Rookies (names in white)
    470a Mel Stottlemyre (last name in white)
