topps style 52 auto question

[pharmacist]

Hey guys I was wondering if you could help me out with my style 52 dilemma :)

The thing is, I really like the Fan Favourite Autos and wanted to start collecting them but then I saw on Beckett that a lot of players apparently have one of their auto cards numbered and one of them not, I`m confused, since I read somewhere that the numbering isn`t on the card but that they were SPed to a certain number of cards. Now I`m wondering if my autos are SPed or not since the SPed (or #ed) versions have a book value in Beckett and the others don`t... I is confused....

Thanks for your time.

There were two types of Fan Favorite Autos: regular and rainbow foil (gold).

Though most players had the full print run (whatever that was), there were some regular issues did have some players whose autos were SP'd (non-numbered, limited print run). You can find those in the Beckett.

The "Rainbow" Gold Refractor autos were parallels #d to 10. Instead of a normal base front, they had a shiny, refractor-ish front with gold #ing on the back.

ok thanks for the reply so i guess the print run indicated in beckett is for those cards that actually were short print and they just didn`t know it at first so now those names appear twice in the list. Or sumthin...?
