What Does My Team Have?

Since this chart was made before we have the odds sheet, I've assumed that the only SPs are the Best Tek and Strokes of Gold. It may be that Bowman Showpieces is an SP in this set, but they are included as inserts in the chart below. Also, there are many multi autos on the checklist. Each player is counted separately in the chart.
