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 on September 10, 2002.

20 Rafael Palmeiro
This 22-card set features members of the 2002 USA National Team.  The design is similar to that of the base set Future Watch cards, but since none are sequentially-numbered as part of the base set, none are to be considered "true" rookies.  Each card is serial-numbered to 1999 copies.

120 Oliver Perez FW RC
These autographed Mark McGwire cards are all in the style of SP Authentic Chirography sets from 1998-2002.  McGwire had never signed for a trading card company before coming to terms with Upper Deck in 2002.  Each card is hand-numbered to 25 copies.

An exchange card with a redemption deadline of September 10th, 2005 was placed into packs whereby the lucky collector received the card directly from Upper Deck via mail.  The three dead players are all cuts; the three living players are on-card autographs.

This Duke Snider autograph card was distributed by Upper Deck at the 2002 Hawaii Trade Conference. Each attendee received either this signed Duke Snider card or a signed card of NFL legend John Riggins, both of which were hand-numbered to 500 copies in blue ink -- although it should be noted that, unlike similar Hawaii Trade Conference giveaways, this card is not marked as having been distributed at the conference.

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 on September 10, 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.

Distribution

SP Authentic Series: 24 packs per box, five cards per pack (MSRP: $4.99). Hobby only.

Rookie Update Series: 15 packs per box, four cards per pack. Hobby only.

This 22-card set features members of the 2002 USA National Team. The design is similar to that of the base set Future Watch cards, but since none are sequentially-numbered as part of the base set, none are to be considered "true" rookies. Each card is serial-numbered to 1999 copies.

Big Mac Missing Link

These autographed Mark McGwire cards are all in the style of SP Authentic Chirography sets from 1998-2002. McGwire had never signed for a trading card company before coming to terms with Upper Deck in 2002. Each card is hand-numbered to 25 copies.

For some reason, Upper Deck decided to include a Missing Link card in the style of the 2002 Chirography set, even though a McGwire was already included in that set (see above).

  • MMC Mark McGwire 1998
  • MM Mark McGwire 1999
  • MAM Mark McGwire 2000
  • SP-MM Mark McGwire 2001
  • MAMC Mark McGwire 2002

Signed Big Mac

This set features 10 Mark McGwire autographed cards. Each card is serial-numbered to the production figures listed.

  • MM1 Mark McGwire 1
  • MM2 Mark McGwire 25
  • MM3 Mark McGwire 5
  • MM4 Mark McGwire 4
  • MM5 Mark McGwire 12
  • MM6 Mark McGwire 70
  • MM7 Mark McGwire 4

Excellence

Randomly inserted into packs was an exchange card good for a card featuring six on-card autographs of Upper Deck spokemen. Only 25 exchange cards were produced and expired September 10, 2005.

  • AE Ken Griffey, Jr. / Sammy Sosa / Cal Ripken, Jr. / Jason Giambi / Mark McGwire / Ichiro EXCH 25

Signs of Greatness

Randomly inserted into packs, this "book" card features six autographs and only one copy was produced. An exchange card with a redemption deadline of September 10th, 2005 was placed into packs whereby the lucky collector received the card directly from Upper Deck via mail. The three dead players are all cuts; the three living players are on-card autographs.

  • SOG Babe Ruth / Joe DiMaggio / Mickey Mantle / Ken Griffey, Jr. / Sammy Sosa / Mark McGwire EXCH 1

Joe DiMaggio Autographed Poster

Randomly inserted into packs was an exchange card good for an autographed Joe DiMaggio poster. A total of 800 exchange cards were inserted into packs and expired August 8, 2005. DiMaggio died in 1999 and the posters were originally signed for Upper Deck Authenticated.

    Hawaii Trade Conference Sign of the Times Duke Snider Autograph

    Duke-Snider.jpg?id=f9658c73-e8cd-4ea1-96e2-17d490762da6&size=original&side=front&.jpg Duke-Snider.jpg?id=f9658c73-e8cd-4ea1-96e2-17d490762da6&size=original&side=back&.jpg

    This Duke Snider autograph card was distributed by Upper Deck at the 2002 Hawaii Trade Conference. Each attendee received either this signed Duke Snider card or a signed card of NFL legend John Riggins, both of which were hand-numbered to 500 copies in blue ink -- although it should be noted that, unlike similar Hawaii Trade Conference giveaways, this card is not marked as having been distributed at the conference.
