It’s a phenomenon that takes place every year at about this time. Almost immediately following the release of a new year of Contenders Football, the annual frenzy commences as collectors across North America begin scrambling and scouring to determine the relative scarcity of the set’s ample selection of autograph SPs and variations.

It’s a mesmerizing chain of events to be sure, and one that often requires a little guidance.

To help provide a a little insight into the SP/SSP craze surrounding 2013 Contenders Football, below is a breakdown of the three aforementioned sets that are either SPs (cards with quantities of 200 or less) and SSPs (cards with quantities of 50 or less).

  1. Tracy is this list and the other one you put up the last of the Contender’s SP list’s were going to get? Any chance we get a list with actual print runs like years past? Any more help with this would be greatly appreciated throughout the card collecting community.

  2. Would really like to see an actually print run with numbers instead of listing as SP and SSP’s. That really tells the collector nothing.
