Ted Williams Buyback Autograph
Upper Deck repurchased nine copies of the 1992 Upper Deck Ted Williams Baseball Heroes autographed checklist card and inserted them into packs of 2002 SP Legendary Cuts. Williams (who died in 2002) had signed 2500 copies of this card for insertion into 1992 Upper Deck Lo-Series packs with each hand-numbered.
Each card has an additional Upper Deck Authenticated hologram affixed to the reverse side of the card and all nine buybacks came packaged with a UDA certificate of authenticity.

Mark McGwire Autograph Redemption
Randomly inserted into packs of 2002 SP Legendary Cuts were 100 Mark McGwire Autograph redemption cards. Unlike a traditional autographed redemption card, collectors could send to Upper Deck any item they wished to have McGwire sign -- along with the redemption card. These cards expired September 12th, 2003.
