First auto on ebay is a sticker. Part of the appeal was on card autos. This is an insert so the base may still be, but who knows with UD

There was also a Tony Gonzalez auto from that same subset that was stickered. These cards come from SP Authentic RETAIL though, so who knows how the hobby version will look a week from now. I'd say that the rookie autos will still be auto'd on card.

I have saw SP Authentic (2008) blasters being opened on another forum which guarantee a GU each.

From the looks of what I am seeing it might be entirely different than the hobby version to come but apparently the blasters are labeled as "SP Authentic".

It is SP Authentic, only a retail version of the product....I think.

THIS IS NOT AP Authentic that is why!

It's just an insert set. SP Authentic does not get released at retail.

I saw a few blasters of these as well the other night at walley world when my wife went to get groceries.I contemplated on getting one but I never have much luck with the football so I left it alone.But they are available retail.

SP Authentic is not in retail stores.
What you are seeing in the stores is Upper Deck SP, they are not the same thing.

These cards in retail stores are DEFINATELY SP Authentic cards. Just check out this willie parker auto (not my auction)

http://cgi.ebay.com/Willie-Parker-08-SP ... dZViewItem

just read the fine print on bottom of the back of the card and you will clearly see "2008 SP Authentic Football". But like already mentioned, this is a retail insert, so who knows if the hobby will be stickered or on card.

I didn't mean to accuse you of lieing, I agree, nothing to gain out of lieing about it.
I must have seen something different. I may have to find a balster of these because I have seen alot of autos come out of these.

I believe that this stuff is Upper Deck SP, not SP authentic...confusing? That is the point! Imagine if UD started
selling blaster of its best products with the same pull rates??

Keep Dreaming. UD retail is a waste

They don't have to have the same pull ratios. I think UD released a retail version of SP Authentic baseball this year. Letter autographs were advertised on the blister packs but I bet the odds of getting one is extremely low in comparison to hobby.

From what those who have opened the product are saying the retail FB is packaged as SP Authentic, not SP.
