Welcome to the forum!

Which ones where you confused on? I'm sure if you post what ones you didn't understand someone will help you out.

There is a whole lot of this in the hobby. A few of them are shortened terms for certain products and companies, like SPGU = SP Game Used, SPA = SP Authentic, UD1 = Upper Deck Series 1, UM = Ultimate Memorabilia, ITG = In The Game, etc.

There are also terms that apply to ebay such as BIN, which means "Buy It Now". There are plenty more but these are just a few examples.

Thanks guys, how low does a production of one card need to be to be called a sort print?

1-50?
1-25?

[centrehice]

Any printing that is less than the original printing.

Some cards are:

Original Card - No Serial Number
SP - 500 copies
SP - 250 copies
SP - 50 copies
SP - 25 copies
SP - 10 copies
SSP - 1/1 copies

There are always different variations. Many Original Cards come Serial Numbered. Many SP Cards also have a different coloured foil, or different colored card (ie, Bronze, Silver Gold, Red, Green, Black, Gold)
