I'm trying to find out what the term 'superply' means when refering to ACX plywood? Do you find this valuable?

Isn't it just the adverb form of "superp"?

Ah, grammar humor...

Here's this, though, from http://www.rfpco.com/plywood/superply.htm :

SuperPly is an exterior, sanded plywood panel. The faces are specially selected veneers, which are light in color and have little distinction between sapwood, heartwood and growth rings, resulting in a smooth, uniform appearance. Minor splits, indents, and wormholes are putty filled. SuperPly meets or exceeds all veneer grade, adhesive, construction, and workmanship requirements of PS 1-95. All Roseburg manufactured plywood is inspected and certified by APA, a nationally and internationally recognized and accepted testing organization.

Highlights:

* No wood patches
* Ultra-smooth sanded faces
* Tight-grained faces
* Inhibit checking
* Fewer and smaller internal voids 2  out of 3 found this valuable. Do you?
