Can anyone who collects these confirm that the last 9 cards (111 - 119), which are listed everywhere as SPs, really are short-printed? I ask because I bought a hanger pack and got 5 of the 9 in my pack. Seems more like a DP than an SP!
-------------------------------
I'm going to reevaluate how I collect after the new year. It's just getting way too expensive for the new stuff. Sometimes I just want to buy a pack, not a whole box or even blaster.

Eric | Aug 3, 2018 | Nice looking cards. Where are the roster updates available? I opened a hobby case and saw none.
-
Trey Treutel | Aug 3, 2018 | We aren’t sure what format those come in as that wasn’t specified.
-
Eric | Aug 4, 2018 | They’re are exclusive to hanger boxes as I recently seen.

Michael Busa | Aug 5, 2018 | Roster Update cards are in the Walmart Hanger “box”/Pack…opened one today and got #112, 114,115,117 & 119

Thanks Dan. That answers my question. I might add a note to the set here. Mine came from Walmart too.

Just wanted to add, since it pertains to the SP/Roster Update cards that the Ariya Daivari cards (#6 and #112), both use the same photo, so check the numbers if you have them.

Thanks Cory. My five SPs were grouped together in the pack, in the back half of the stack, after the HOF insert and before the legends and tag teams. So it's like they were inserts, even though numbered in the set.

Definitely sounds like the "SP" Notes need to be removed.

Someday my cards may double in value and then be worth half of what I paid for them.

Why? They're only available in one packaging type. They aren't present in entire hobby cases.
I realize we don't believe all things Beckett, however they have them marked as SPs as well.

How can anything distributed through WalMart be an SP. Just because it's only available in WalMart or one package shouldn't make it an automatic SP. Especially since every one of those packs has them and multiples of them. Using the logic of hobby vs retail, then anything not available in hobby is an SP? Or vice versa.

I don't know. Sellers on ebay don't seem to include them in the sets they are selling but some sell the 9 cards as their own set. They aren't available at all on COMC, while 1-110 cards are. Beckett lists them as SP. Maybe my educated guess wasn't as educated as I thought.

Only Topps would know the print run of the last 9 versus the first 110. And if they're actually an SP. I wonder if it was announced anywhere.
