[[1995 Post Canada]] is an 18-card set, produced by Upper Deck. Each box of Post-branded breakfast cereal distributed in Canada had one card inside, with an offer sheet for a factory set printed on the back of the box. The cards carry both English and French text.
[[2009 Kellogg's Japan]] is a set of six "rulers" produced for the Japanese market. Each ruler measures fifteen centimeters and features lenticular printing of the player "in action." Unlike the previous two year's Kellogg's Japan sets, these "cards" do not have the Upper Deck branding.


The set was approved by the MLB Players Association, but not by MLB Properties so the logos are airbrushed out.
