hey Mike
I love these cards. I am not an expert but I think the "veteran/HoF" image variations started in 2009 and then the SP/SSP for modern and veteran SPs really kicked off in 2010. The TCDB site does a pretty good job of listing all the variations.
I think the only "SPs" you could get in factory sets were the special 5-card packs in specially marked factory sets. I think in 2017 and 2018 there were "rookie image variations" of ohtani, Judge, etc...and "all-star" variations in earlier years. those are always different than pack pulled SPs
