2010 SP Authentic
Description
The 2010 SP Authentic Baseball set was originally scheduled for release in April, 2010; however, on March 3, 2010, as part of a settlement with Major League Baseball Properties, Upper Deck agreed not to release any baseball card products "in the pipeline" -- to include 2010 SP Authentic.
Each Hobby box was to have yielded three autographs, two of which will be signed By the Letter manufactured patch cards; two Holoview F/X insert cards; four serial-numbered cards; twelve short printed base set cards including Faces of the Game and Horizontal SP’s. Case hits include: one Exquisite Card; either a Chirography hard-signed card, or a Sign of the Times dual, triple, quad, six, seven, or eight signed card; and two Mystery Rookie Redemption serial-numbered autograph cards.
It should be noted that one of Upper Deck's main selling points for the canceled April SP Authentic release was the return of Holoview cards.
