Checklist

Jim Beckett Promo

A promo card featuring Hobby pioneer Dr. Jim Beckett was inserted into copies of the May, 2005 issue of Beckett Baseball.

Base Set

The base set is made up of 142 cards. The cards share the design of previous releases of Topps. The cards feature new photographs of each player on old designs of cards from 1951 to 2004. The card backs also mirror previous releases of Topps cards. Many of the cards featured non-players, notable cards include John Elway, shown as a minor leaguer with the New York Yankees, Theo Epstein, and Marvin Miller. Only one current player is featured: Barry Bonds, who opted-out of the MLBPA's Standard Player Agreement and was exclusive to Topps at the time.

Best Seat in the House Relics

A series of game used seats and benches featuring pictures of multiple players who would have been seen in those seats. These cards were inserted as box toppers in hobby boxes of 2005 All-Time Fan Favorites. Five of the six cards feature the Baltimore Orioles and the sixth features the Yankees. All cards are serial-numbered to 125 copies, except #MFBJ which is serial-numbered to 50.

All six cards are also available in a Rainbow parallel, which is serial-numbered to 25 copies.

Original Relics

An innovative set that featured two identical cards bought back and GU relics placed between the two with some filler material between the two cards. These cards were also inserted into the box toppers at a lower rate than the normal game used relics. These cards were inserted at a rate of 1:17 boxes and had a stated print run of 50 serial numbered sets.

Autographs

The Autographed cards were the main insert set. Approximately 2 autographs were inserted per hobby box and 1 autograph per retail box. A number of players were not able to get their cards back to Topps prior to packout. Those cards were available via redemption until May 31, 2007. The Theo Epstein cards were never redeemed.

Group A cards are limited, but not serial-numbered, to 15 copies. Likewise Group B and C cards are limited to 40 and 90, respectively.

Each Autograph is also available in a Rainbow parallel, which is serial-numbered to 10.
