Upper Deck’s 2012 SP Authentic Football has been a huge hit with gridiron fans and as collectors break more and more of the product to put together sets, many have been wondering which of the cards in the sets are short prints. Now that the product has had the opportunity to perform in the secondary market, Upper Deck is pleased do share a list of short print information on the autograph cards found within 2012 SP Authentic Football.

First up are the Canvas autograph cards. There are three different groups of these cards, all produced at roughly the same levels which makes it possible to potentially put together this very limited set. The first group are the “Canvas Collection” autograph cards numbered CC-1 through CC-90 and they can be found at 1:1,076 packs. The second group are the “Canvas Rookie Short Print Autographs” numbered CR1-CR25 and as the name indicates, they are all very short printed falling at 1:3,372 packs. And the toughest group are the “Canvas Legends Short Print Autographs” numbered CL1-CL20 inserted 1:6,076 packs.

Here is the rest of the short print information for the non-numbered autograph cards in the set.
