Millennium Team
NOTE: For years, it was believed that card #UD6 (Ted Williams) was never produced. However in 2012, a copy of this card was mysteriously submitted to Beckett Grading. The card in question had the foil-stamping intended for the front of the card on the back instead. It is unknown what happened to any other UD6s.
Williams' trading card rights, which had been held by Upper Deck, expired in 2000. Williams would not appear on any trading cards at all in 2000 and would not appear for UD until 2003.
