Description

2002 SP Authentic is a 230 card set was released in two separate series. The basic SP Authentic product (containing the first 170 cards) was issued in September, 2002. The final 60 cards (#171-#230) were distributed within packs of 2002 Upper Deck Rookie Update in mid-December, 2002. The product is notable for containing the first ever, certified autographed trading cards of Mark McGwire.

Cards #1-#90 featured veterans while cards #91-#170 were part of the Future Watch subset. Future Watch cards #91-#135 are serial-numbered to 1999 copies; while cards #136-#170 were signed by the player. Most of the autographed Future Watch cards were serial-numbered to 999 copies; while cards #146, #152 and #157 were printed to only 249 serial-numbered sets.

A typical 24-pack SP Authentic box should yield two Future Watch cards, one autographed Future Watch card, either an autographed Prospect or a Chirography card, at least one USA Future Watch insert, and a game jersey card.

There only notable rookies in the SP Authentic set are of Reed Johnson and Aaron Cook.

Rookie Update cards #201-#230 continued the Future Watch subset (focusing on rookies and prospects) and each card was serial-numbered to 1999.

Among the notable rookies in the Rookie Update series include Cliff Lee and Freddy Sanchez.
