As they had done for previous SP/SP Authentic sets, Upper Deck re-purchased a group of SP/SP Authentic cards from 1993-1999. These cards were then signed by the player, hand-numbered on front (please see listings for print runs), and had a serial-numbered Upper Deck Authenticated hologram sticker placed on back. A Certificate of Authenticity (with a matching UDA serial-number) and the signed card were placed together in a soft plastic "penny" sleeve and then randomly seeded into 2000 SP Authentic packs.
Jeff Bagwell, Ken Griffey, Andruw Jones, Chipper Jones, Manny Ramirez and Alex Rodriguez did not manage to sign their cards in time for packout, thus exchange cards were created and seeded into packs for these players. The exchange cards did NOT specify the actual vintage card that the bearer would receive back in the mail. The deadline to redeem the exchange cards was March 30th, 2001.
