I have a Manu Ginobili Gold (SP Authentic) and Red (SP).  Where is the SP set on tcdb?

Thank you.  Why isn't it listed here i wonder?

It's listed as a parallel of the hobby base product so it wouldn't show up under the yearly list. I believe that's the standard for most products that had both hobby and retail versions, but not all.

If you click on the little arrow next to "2008-09 SP Authentic", you'll see it:

Looking at the Packaging for this set, I think it should be a standalone set. In the past we have separated SP from SP Authentic. See 2012 SPA/SP Golf for an example.

If I were to see a retail set in SP Authentic, I would not think it would be the SP set. I would think it would be a retail version of an SP Authentic card.

It's weird ... the packaging and cards both say "SP", but everyone selling boxes refers to it as "SP Authentic Retail"
