Sport card collecting....

I don't know who collects baseball cards on here in general, however I do.... That isnt really the reason why I am posting this. The reason I am posting this is that I have a question about a specific set of baseball cards and that being the 2010 Topps Allen & Ginter set.....

When I go on Ebay (I know that you can't always trust whats on there) I see that there are cards listed as SP (short print)..... How can you tell which cards are short printed? Not that I am looking to get rid of them for a profit, I would like to know so I can figure out which would be the most appropriate way to store it (ie card box, plastic page or its own hard case).

Any help would be most appreciated.....Thanks in advance!

I would go check a rating magazine like Becketts to find out if its a short print. Ignore the pricing since that will never stay static but it should tell you the rarity of the individual card per whatever set there is. Also becketts usually has a encylopidia type guide whch covers more pricing on more sets and older sets
