The base set is comprised of 200 regular cards from stars, rookies to legends. And cards 201-230 are the SP's ('short prints' for those not in the know). I can't attest to how much shorter their printing scale was, but I can say that on average I found an SP one in every seven or eight packs or so. So, I had to track the SP's down mostly through ebay.
And that was tough. A lot of sellers seem to think that anything "SP" means that they can charge you 10 dollars. So it was frustrating to see a card you need sitting there in a crazy price range. In the end, I used http://www.sportlots.com/ to finish off the set. The SP's were still pricier, but the regular base I was missing was around the $.20 a card mark. So it was really affordable in that sense.
And now, for your viewing pleasure, all of the SP's together in one place:
It's a really colorful set. The entire full binder of the cards is just a great visual experience.
Now, I'm onto the minis and the relic set. The minis will be tough, especially the SP's. And lastly, I'll do the auto set. Of course, there are some silk cards still out there that might be fun to do.... But that's getting way ahead of myself.
Tonight I'm posting a definitive list of the minis I need. If you see some that you have, please contact me. I've found that trading is really the most economical way to get this set together.

Very, very nice.
Thanks dude. I knew somebody would appreciate it.
Congrats G. Are you collecting the auto's and GU's.
Congrats G. Are you collecting the auto's and GU's.
Are you collecting the rookie variations as well? I didn't set out looking to collect them, but I ended up with so many of them that I started keeping track of them in the regular sized cards and the minis.
Congrats on finishing off the set. Sportlots is a great help for picking up those last few cards that you need.
Yeah, I'll collect the variations as well.
I'll have to check my doubles again, chances are I might already have some.
