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.

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

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

In addition, an exchange card with a redemption deadline of August 8th, 2005, good for a signed Joe DiMaggio poster was randomly inserted into SP Authentic packs.
