I don’t know about everywhere but, when this came out everyone was suspicious of the autos.
This is more like the 52 Topps Mantle. It’s the image and the set. It’s the fairy tale of the card. 1993 SP Derek Jeters fairly tales is that it was printed with so many defects and soft paper stock. If you look at it wrong it bends. And out of the millions printed we have 22 psa 10s.
1993 sp set was pushed as a” highend” product. With lesser print run because of how premium these cards stock was.

Signature rookies was as licensed as any other minor league set at the time.
I think the uniform shown is the minor league affiliate, but I could be wrong.
The SP would be airbrushed, since he didn't play for NY till 95.
I was around to buy both when they were new. Bought a bunch of SR, and some how kept getting that darn kid from the Yankees system. Ended up with three. Got about what they'd sell for now almost a decade ago. Maybe a bit more since they weren't graded.
I didn't buy much SP, they just didn't do much for me, especially the main part of the set. They didn't seem any touchier than any other UD product at the time. Sadly, no Jeter. The ones I have are still just fine, even the ones in the box without sleeves
