Pros:
On card autographs!
SPs are variations instead of cards added to the end of the set
Great for TTM/IP Autos
Only a couple of insert sets/unlike its brother product, Allen & Ginter
Cons:
SP minis are the variations along with 50 cards added to the end of the set
Mini relics not completely surrounded/encased, could lead to sliding
