SP stands for short print in your case with cracker jack the SP more than like stands for a short printed variation like a difference in the picture.

Actually, an SP would be any card from the standard set that is printed in smaller quantities than others. It doesn't need to be a variation to be an SP. <br />

Both statements are correct, one is just fancier than the other. In regards to the Cracker Jack sets, some players only had one card and were short printed while other players had two cards in the set, each with a different pose/picture. One would be short printed while the other was a regular run. I put together the 2004 set and from what I understood at the time was it gave a reflection of some of the differences between the '14 and '15 Cracker Jack cards. 1914 Cracker Jack are more scarce than 1915.<br />
