What does 'SP' Mean

Sometimes I see auctions listed with 'SP' in the title. Does this mean short print, or is it an acronym for some type of modern set?

Here's an example

As long as we're clearing things up, what's the 'T4' mean in this title, is this a card set?

    SP means short print. There also was a Upper Deck card brand SP/SP Authentic from 1993-2009

    In vintage set too, in most cases it means the card is "short printed" (printed in less numbers than the average card in set), but it can also mean "single print", as opposed to double print.

    examples of SP and DP............ 1/2 of the 1947 D305 Bond Bread set is "SP", much of the 1949 Leaf set is "SP", on the other hand the 1933 Goudey Babe Ruth #144 is "DP" (double printed), and the overrated 1952 Topps Mickey Mantle card is also a "DP" card, etc.

    Id like to know what "T4" means in that title too. ??? might have something to do with the card number ???

    In vintage baseball cards....... "T4" is the ACC# (American Card Catalog) for the very rare 1911 Obak Cabinet Premiums

    T4 is the card number, the seller states it in their description.
