Scarcer by design

A short print (SP) is produced in smaller quantities than the base cards in a set; a super short print (SSP) is rarer still. The scarcity is intentional, and it drives demand among set collectors.

Often hard to spot

Short prints can look like ordinary cards, sometimes flagged only by a subtle variation or by collector knowledge of the set’s checklist. Knowing which cards are SPs is part of valuing a set accurately.

Value reflects the scarcity

Because an SP can be worth many times a base card, identify it correctly before pricing. Slabline values each card from real comparable sales, so a short print’s scarcity shows up in the number.
