2004 SP Authentic hobby box

Description

2004 SP Authentic is a 191-card set released in June, 2004. The base set features 101 serial-numbered base cards. Despite the sheer volume of SPed rookie cards (56 Future Watch "rookies", all serial-numbered to 999 copies) -- or perhaps because of it -- there are no prominent rookie cards in the set.

Each 24-pack Hobby box will yield two autographs.

Distribution

24 packs per box, five cards per pack (MSRP: $5). 12 boxes per case. Hobby only.
