    The Locklear Collection features the original artwork of former Major Leaguer Gene Locklear. Each card is serial-numbered on the reverse side; however, Ted Williams Card Company never revealed the production figures. Due to the publicly-known production run of 9999 cases, we can calculate that approximately 36,000 copies of each card were produced.

    Two special factory sets were produced in conjunction with the 1993 All-Star Game: The "'93 All-Star" and "'93 Baltimore" editions. 521 '93 All-Star and 406 '93 Baltimore sets were produced.
