2005 Biography is a multi-brand insert that was randomly seeded into packs of three 2005 Donruss-Playoff products: [[2005 Leaf Certified Materials]], [[2005 Leaf Limited]], and [[2005 Prime Cuts 3]]. Each player in the set was to receive one card for each career-based "event" in the player's career -- and can be seen similarly to the "mirror" inserts Topps produced around the same time (e.g. The Barry Bonds, Mickey Mantle, and Alex Rodriguez Home Run sets, 2007 Generation Now, and 2008-09 Moments & Milestones).

Unfortunately, due to Donruss-Playoff having their MLB Properties license revoked, many Biography sets were incomplete.
