Perhaps some of the strings contain leading or trailing returns - so you're 
not collecting empty values, but when you put them all in a list you end up 
with some blank lines.
So yet another variation might collect this information

              put the uMyLabel of button n of card y of stack "MyStack" into tName
              if tName contains cr then
                put y && n & cr after theList
              end if

... or if you just want to suppress it from  your output, and don't care where 
it is, replace
    put tName & cr after theList
with
    put line 1 of tName & cr after theList
