Description
The 2010 SP Authentic Baseball set was originally scheduled for release in April, 2010; however, on March 3, 2010, as part of a settlement with Major League Baseball Properties, Upper Deck agreed not to release any baseball card products "in the pipeline" -- to include 2010 SP Authentic.
The "new" 2010 SP Authentic set is tentatively scheduled for release the week of November 16, 2010. This will be Upper Deck's first baseball set after losing their MLB license and their first with the Collegiate Licensing Corporation (CLC). It is unclear if this will be a prospect heavy set with players depicted in their college uniforms, or a set of current Major League players depicted out of uniform (UD still has a license with the MLB Players Association) as Upper Deck has yet to supply a checklist.
The structure of the "new" 2010 SPA is similar to the canceled product UD was to have released in April. Each Hobby should yield three autographs, two of which will be signed By the Letter manufactured patch cards; two Holoview F/X insert cards; four serial-numbered cards; twelve short printed base set cards including Faces of the Game and Horizontal SP’s. Case hits include: one Exquisite Card; either a Chirography hard-signed card, or a Sign of the Times dual, triple, quad, six, seven, or eight signed card; and two Mystery Rookie Redemption serial-numbered autograph cards.
It should be noted that one of Upper Deck's main selling points for the canceled April SP Authentic release was the return of Holoview cards.
