[[2005 Topps Total]] is a 770-card set. This would be the final Topps Total set after a four-year run. The set is structured with veterans as 1-575, dual-player veterans (usually relief pitchers and utility men) 576-690, prospects 691-720, "First Year" minor leaguers 721-765 and checklists 766-770. Oddly enough, card #666 is a single-player card featuring Red Sox closer Keith Foulke - indicating a serious dislike for the Red Sox by whomever at Topps was responsible for constructing the checklist.

Most of the autographed Future Watch cards were serial-numbered to 999 copies; while cards #146, #152 and #157 were printed to only 249 serial-numbered sets.
 
A typical 24-pack SP Authentic box should yield two Future Watch cards, one autographed Future Watch card, either an autographed Prospect or a Chirography card, at least one USA Future Watch insert, and a game jersey card.
 
There only notable rookies in the SP Authentic set are of Reed Johnson and Aaron Cook.
