1999 Upper Deck Century Legends is a skip-numbered 131-card set released in June, 1999. One of the more popular and influential products of the era, Century Legends was one of the first products to combine current players with retired Hall of Famers. 
 
Cards 1-50 come from ''The Sporting News' '' countdown of the 50 greatest players of the 20th Century, while cards 51-100 are ''TSN's'' picks for the best 50 active players.  The set winds up with the "21st Century Phenoms" and "Century Memories" subsets.
 
Cards 11, 25, 26, and 126 do not exist.  Players 11, 25, and 26 on ''The Sporting News' '' list were Joe DiMaggio, Pete Rose, and Sandy Koufax, respectively.  Upper Deck was unable to come to terms with Koufax, so his card (#26) was excluded.  The March 8th, 1999 death of Joe DiMaggio triggered a clause in his licensing deal prohibiting anyone from using his image for one year after his death, which forced UD to pull cards #11 and #126 from Century Legends.


=Description=
Due to his lifetime banishment from baseball, UD could not include a card of Pete Rose, and so cards #25 and #EM1 were pulled.  Curiously, despite also being banned for life from baseball, "Shoeless" Joe Jackson was included in the set.
 
Each 24-pack Hobby box yields one "Epic Signatures" autograph.

=Distribution=
Each box of 1999 Upper Deck Century Legends contains 24 packs of 5 cards each. This product is hobby exclusive.

Thanks to the omissions of Joe DiMaggio, Pete Rose, and Sandy Koufax, this set is missing cards 11, 25, 26, and 126.

At least three of the base cards #4 (Walter Johnson), #35 (Shoeless Joe Jackson) and #58 (Mark McGwire) have foil-stamped logos on their backs.  It is unclear how, or why, these cards came into being.  It is known that the McGwire is available in both foil-stamped and non-foil-stamped versions; with the foil-stamped logo being the most common.  It is unclear if non-foil versions of the Johnson and Jackson exist.

Description

1999 Upper Deck Century Legends is a skip-numbered 131-card set released in June, 1999. One of the more popular and influential products of the era, Century Legends was one of the first products to combine current players with retired Hall of Famers.

Cards 1-50 come from The Sporting News' countdown of the 50 greatest players of the 20th Century, while cards 51-100 are TSN's picks for the best 50 active players. The set winds up with the "21st Century Phenoms" and "Century Memories" subsets.

Cards 11, 25, 26, and 126 do not exist. Players 11, 25, and 26 on The Sporting News' list were Joe DiMaggio, Pete Rose, and Sandy Koufax, respectively. Upper Deck was unable to come to terms with Koufax, so his card (#26) was excluded. The March 8th, 1999 death of Joe DiMaggio triggered a clause in his licensing deal prohibiting anyone from using his image for one year after his death, which forced UD to pull cards #11 and #126 from Century Legends.

Due to his lifetime banishment from baseball, UD could not include a card of Pete Rose, and so cards #25 and #EM1 were pulled. Curiously, despite also being banned for life from baseball, "Shoeless" Joe Jackson was included in the set.

Each 24-pack Hobby box yields one "Epic Signatures" autograph.

Distribution

24 packs per box, 5 cards per pack (MSRP: $4.99). Hobby only.

Foil Logo Variations

At least three of the base cards #4 (Walter Johnson), #35 (Shoeless Joe Jackson) and #58 (Mark McGwire) have foil-stamped logos on their backs. It is unclear how, or why, these cards came into being. It is known that the McGwire is available in both foil-stamped and non-foil-stamped versions; with the foil-stamped logo being the most common. It is unclear if non-foil versions of the Johnson and Jackson exist.

NOTE: This set was supposed to have ten players featured, with the tenth being Upper Deck spokesman, Ken Griffey, Jr. However, a Jerseys of the Century card for Griffey was never produced, despite it being listed on dealer sell sheets and distributed promotional materials. Thus, this was actually a nine-card set and the Griffey does not exist.

Each card is available in a "Century" parallel, hand-numbered to 100 copies.

Four players signed only a fraction of their allotted signatures. As a result, some of those players had autographs that were BOTH live in packs AND redemptions. Collectors who pulled a redemption had until December 31st, 1999 to exchange it for an autograph.
