12/13 sp authentic Roy auto

[cams345]

I have opened multiple boxes of sp authentic and out of my last box I got a Patrick Roy 94-95 retro auto. its a very nice looking card and I have seen lots of others posted but no Roys. None on ebay or here I cant find production number . Does anyone have any idea how many of these retros were signed?

In all likelihood it would be short-printed relative to some of the other cards in the set. UD unfortunately didn't disclose print runs on these parallel autographs but Roy tends to only sign a small number of cards at any given signing and his cards are often in the short-print area. That card is listed under the Group A category:

1:1,480 (Overall '94 Retro Auto 1:96) Hope that helps somewhat.

I posted a thread a little while, trying to break down the odds, and figure out how many of each card were made:

There are a couple of assumptions that need to be made though, when following that logic. First off - that the stated odds are correct. Upper Deck, for exaple, guarentees 1 FW RC/Auto per box, but there were posts right away telling me that most boxes have two. That would suggest (to me) that there is isn't really a 1-per-box ratio, and that they cut production down (this would mean you've got a better chance of pulling any specific card than the odds indicate).

The other assumption, is that all cards in a particular group have the same print run. There isn't really anyway to know this for sure - but it would make sense.


Anyway, if I assume that both of these things are true, I would suggest that there were about 600k packs made. There are 23 players in 'Group A' (including Roy) and Group A Retro Autos should fall once every 1,480 packs. This means there is (roughly) 405 of them total, and assuming equal production on each card - the numbers work out to 17.6 copies of each. What the real number is, I can only guess..... but I will bet there are 25 (or less) of them.
